TRINITY FOREST
Trinity Forest Golf Club resembles many of the great old courses of the Northeast and Great Britain, featuring a links-style course on a rolling meadow with tall native grasses and dramatic bunkering and green complexes.
The team of Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw – Coore & Crenshaw, Inc. – designed both the championship golf course and the nine-hole “Horse Course”. The design of Trinity Forest honors classic golf courses with traditional, strategic golf and great artistry as the guiding philosophy.
