🏛 Designed by Donald Ross
The Bobby Jones Golf Club in Sarasota was dedicated in 1927 and named for the golfing legend, and Wikipedia's list of Donald Ross designs credits Ross as its architect. Its 18-hole Ross Course has hosted the Sarasota City Championship for more than 51 years, and the club added a new 9-hole course named for John Hamilton Gillespie, Sarasota's first mayor, who is credited with bringing golf to the city in the late 1800s. It remains a municipal course open to public play.
