Private Clubs Designed by Jack Nicklaus
1974–present
Jack Nicklaus — 'The Golden Bear' — parlayed an 18-major playing career into one of golf architecture's most prolific design firms. Nicklaus Design has produced more than 400 courses in over 40 countries. His layouts tend toward dramatic risk-reward routing, generous fairways rewarding bold play, and challenging approach angles. Muirfield Village, Bear's Club, and Shoal Creek are among his most acclaimed private club designs.
