Fact from Fiction: Native and Fescue Roughs
There has been much discussion regarding the deep roughs that we have traditionally called “natives” and “fescues”. There’s a reason why we have both, and there seems to be some misinformation out there regarding them, so I’ll attempt to create some clarity. First, what is a Native? Native grasses between 15 and 16 Natives are […]

Last weekend, if you watched the PGA Tour stop at Old White, at The Greenbrier, you saw some solid Seth Raynor architecture, and Template holes.

Template Holes So it looks like we have some more time on our hands before the golf season starts! I know its frustrating. Everyone is all geared up and ready, and all we can do is look out the window and hope this weather finally takes a turn for the better. In the meantime, I […]

For many decades now, Midland Hills has been making guesses about what Seth Raynor intended when he designed our golf course. We were certain that much of the original design had slowly been lost over time, as the golf course evolved. We have made our best guesses based on the earliest aerial photograph (1937), how […]
