Covered on land acquired by way of Fort Bragg for training purposes can be a Donald Ross course, originally reportedly superior to the excellent Pinehurst #2.
For almost all the last century, Overhills had been a deliberately low-profile enigma. That began as would-be resort, a projected rival to help Pinehurst, 25 miles rest of the world. Ross, a Scot viewed as the dean of American golf architects, was given an unlimited pay up the Overhills course in addition to 3, 500 acres of ideal rolling, sand-based terrain from which to select the 200 perhaps acres he would require. Construction wrapped up around 1913, six years after the opening of Ross's now-more-famous Pinehurst Certainly no. 2 course, which next summer will host both the men's and women's You. S. Opens. James WalkerTufts, Pinehurst's initiator, was also one with the original principals behind Overhills.
Early reviews of the course, a par-74 stretching to 6, 545 showrooms, declared it superior to anything at Pinehurst.
