THE CROSBY CLUB AT RANCHO SANTA FE

This Rees Jones redesign transforms rolling coastal terrain into a thinking player's paradise, where prevailing Pacific breezes demand strategic club selection on nearly every approach. The routing cleverly uses natural barrancas and mature eucalyptus groves to frame generous fairways that tighten considerably around multi-tiered greens. What sets this layout apart is Jones' restraint—he resisted the urge to overpower the elegant bones of the original design, instead crafting subtle elevation changes and green complexes that reward precision over power.
