The new look at Winged Foot is the old look. How renovations revamped a golf course that has always tortured golf’s best ahead of this U.S. Open.
The plan to overhaul Winged Foot Golf Club, one of the most famous locations in the sport, began with an antiquated idea: to make the course hosting the U.S. Open in 2020 look like it did almost 100 years ago.
Architects and designers stared at grainy black-and-white photos. They studied archival information. They excavated the hallowed and harrowing greens. They wanted to understand how a course that had weathered nearly a century’s worth of divots and growth had strayed from its original design.“These improvements,” he added, “are only going to make it a little more challenging.”
It’s potentially rough news for the players in this U.S. Open at Winged Food in Mamaroneck, N.Y. One of the toughest golf courses in the world may be even tougher.
