Ben Crenshaw has long been
recognized as a historian and traditionalist. Since seeing The Country
Club in Brookline, Massachusetts at age sixteen, he has held a
fascination with golf architecture. His is an appreciation of the game's
subtleties gained from years of study and the experience of a successful
playing career spanning over three decades and nineteen P.G.A. Tour
victories including the 1984 and 1995 Masters. Competition has taken
Crenshaw to many of the world's most renowned golf courses where he has
spent considerable time analyzing their design and construction
techniques. His entry into the golf architecture business brought closer
a life long goal of creating quality golf courses in the classical
style. Prior to the formation of Coore and Crenshaw Inc., Crenshaw
served as consultant on the design and construction of the TPC Course at
Las Colinas, site of the annual Byron Nelson Classic.
