Hyde Park, MA

Greens, bunkers, tees and trees

Mark Mungeam, Len Curtin (in-house)

Described as a restoration by The Fried Egg

A long-running, piecemeal program by superintendent Len Curtin with architect Mark Mungeam, funded from course revenue. Greens were expanded to recover original outlines and false fronts, trees were cleared around several greens, turf on tees and fairways was restored, and bunkers were added for the modern ball; the 17th was under renovation in 2018. The Fried Egg (2024) describes it as unfinished, with large-scale tree removal still to come.

Described as a restoration by Top100GolfCourses reviewer Andy Cocker (2026), who says the plan will "preserve or restore key Ross elements"; The Fried Egg calls it a master plan

Tyler Rae, the club's consulting architect since 2024, is carrying out a master plan that builds on Ron Prichard's 1999 restoration plan. A 2026 review says he has used 1934 aerial photographs to rebuild, restore and reposition bunkering, with tree clearance and fairway widening (including on the 2nd) part of the plan. The same review says much of the plan was still to be done after two years.
