Abstract:
Born in Scotland, Donald Ross became one of the country's premier designers of golf courses, especially in North Carolina, where he designed forty-one. Pinehurst No. 2 at Pinehurst (1907) is considered his best. Other courses that rank in his top ten best include Pine Needles at Southern Pines (1927), Linville Golf Club at Linville (1924), and the Biltmore Forest Country Club at Asheville (1925).
