Golf Course Information
Description
Hope Valley Country Club is the "total gem" of Donald James Ross (1872 - 1948), golf's most
famous and prolific architect. Of the 385 courses designed by Ross, perhaps only at Hope Valley
in Durham, North Carolina did he have such a comprehensive role.
Even before the citizens organizing the club would accept the real estate developer's offer of a
golf course, they insisted Donald Ross see the property and determine if it was suitable for a
"high grade golf course and country club." Moreover, Ross designed the course, made on-site
inspections during construction, shared in planning its surrounding roads and buffer land,
and had a personal acquantaince with the club architect.
Equally unique, the course of today is almost identical to the original 1926 layout
of Hope Valley. Indeed, Hope Valley may be more like its original than Pinehurst #2, the
masterpiece Ross fine-tuned over a number of years. This is noted without inferring
that Hope Valley is equal to Pinehurst #2 or that Hope Valley claims intimacy which
the Pinehurst clubs enjoyed with Ross.
