Welcome to the Donald Ross Society

Welcome to the home of the
Donald Ross Society

Formed in 1989 by a dedicated group of golf course architecture enthusiasts
to honor the memory of golf courses of the pre-eminent Scottish golf course architect
Donald J. Ross and to help preserve the character and tradition of the courses he designed.

Ross Design Standards:

Make each golf hole present a different problem.
Arrange the course so that every stroke must be made with a full concentration and attention necessary to good golf.
Build each hole in such a manner that it wastes none of the ground at one's disposal and takes advantage of every possibility.
