Aronimink Golf Club, redesigned by Gil Hanse to echo Donald Ross’s original vision, has proven a stern but fair host for the PGA Championship—selective tree removal and tailored pin placements create two-course dynamics that challenge pros while remaining playable for amateurs, highlighting Hanse’s design approach and signaling Aronimink’s lasting influence on future major venues.
The Los Angeles Country Club's North Course is set to host the 123rd U.S. Open, marking the first time the private club has hosted a major professional tournament since its renovation by Gil Hanse. The course features uneven lies, scratchy-looking bunkers, and unpredictable greens. The course was designed by Herbert Fowler and George C. Thomas Jr., with Thomas' influence being felt throughout the week. The course has a unique layout, with five par 3s and three par 5s, and a "course within a course" design. The finishing holes are particularly challenging, with the 18th hole being a demanding par-4.
