Architect Trail

Seth Raynor Trail

Difficulty

Multiple Trips

Access

Courses

10 courses

Ten of the greatest courses from the Golden Age's most methodical architect — spanning the full breadth of Raynor's tragically brief career, from Fishers Island off the Connecticut coast to Shoreacres on Lake Michigan to Yeamans Hall outside Charleston. Nine of the ten are private, including Fishers Island (accessible only by ferry and member invitation), Camargo, Shoreacres, Chicago Golf Club, Piping Rock, St. Louis Country Club, Fox Chapel, and Yeamans Hall — among the most exclusive and least-seen great courses in America. Only Yale is publicly playable, and even that requires some planning. A trail for the golfer with serious private connections and a deep appreciation for template architecture.
