In 1908, Long Island civil engineer Seth Raynor was hired by C.B. Macdonald to survey the property that would become The National Golf Links of America. Macdonald was so impressed with Raynor’s engineering knowledge that he hired him to supervise con-struction of the course. Raynor went on to build all remaining courses designed by Macdonald. He also designed and remodeled over 100 courses of his own, all in the Macdonald style of superimposing versions of famous British golf holes onto
a variety of landscapes.
