The Classic Forest Oaks Layout – A Revered Course Newly Renovated as a Labor of Love and Home to the PGA TOUR’s Wyndham Championship From 1977 – 2007.
Forest Oaks was rated by PGA TOUR members as a favorite stop on the PGA TOUR. Carved from North Carolina hardwoods by noted architect Ellis Maples, Forest Oaks opened in 1962 to wide acclaim. It was already known as one of the best tests of golf in a state known for great golf tests when it became the home course of the venerable Greater Greensboro Open in 1977. As the golf course matured, alterations to the course were necessary. In 2002, the job of restoring the course to all its glory was assigned to Davis Love III’s Love Design Group.Having played the course numerous times as a member of the University of North Carolina’s golf team, and later as a member of the PGA TOUR, Davis Love III had the advantage of a historical perspective in working on the course redesign. He also had the benefit of hearing the opinions, suggestions and comments from literally hundreds of touring professionals. In the end, however, he relied most heavily on his own golfer’s eye and instincts.
An Ellis Maples Original. A Davis Love III Signature Course. But First and Foremost—A Member’s Course. Working with design associate Paul Cowley, Love answered the key concerns of his touring professionals. At the same time, Love brought his understanding of what was needed to balance the demands of tournament golf with the needs of building a members course. Forest Oaks is first and foremost a member’s course, and that was the primary motivation in Love’s redesign.
