REES JONES<br />
“The Open Doctor”<br />
Rees Jones is acknowledged as one <strong>of</strong> the most renowned golf course designers in the industry. His award<br />
winning courses are known for their beauty and playability. Rees Jones’ courses have arguably hosted more<br />
major and pr<strong>of</strong>essional tournaments than any other living golf course architect. His skill and experience in<br />
preparing courses for the U.S. Open earned him the moniker “The Open Doctor.”<br />
Rees Jones’ entry into the game <strong>of</strong> golf was inevitable. As the son <strong>of</strong> legendary golf course designer, Robert<br />
Trent Jones, Sr., Rees would accompany his father while surveying courses, learning literally from the ground<br />
up. After earning a bachelor’s degree from Yale University and studying at Harvard University’s Graduate School<br />
<strong>of</strong> Design, Rees became a principal at Robert Trent Jones, Inc. in 1964. Rees launched his own design firm in<br />
1974. Since that time, Rees Jones has designed or redesigned over 170 golf courses in his career, including<br />
U.S. Open, PGA Championship, Ryder Cup, Walker Cup and President’s Cup venues.<br />
