  • Newport Country Club

    The Club names William F. Davis for the original long course and second nine, A.W. Tillinghast for seven new holes and rerouting, and later Forse/Hanse work. This corrects the unsupported C.B. Macdonald legacy architect summary; Macdonald winning the 1895 Amateur does not establish course design. Keep opening year unasserted: the USGA 2024 fast facts says 1893, while the Club distinguishes 1893 work on an earlier layout and Davis designs at newly acquired Rocky Farm in 1894. Do not convert a design date or founding year into a demonstrated opening date. The 1895 nine-hole championship remains club-only. This completed edition is after the established modern course era. Bind the named course without asserting unchanged historical tee positions or hole routing. Round use remains unspecified.
