Time, and previous renovations, tend to shrink and constrict golf courses. The mission of a major 2021 remodel by architect Keith Foster was to return Brook Hollow's worn features to a better iteration of its first-generation A.W. Tillinghast design. Foster achieved magnificent results by accentuating the pedestal-like greens and bringing back their squared-off edges, installing steep-faced bunkers (as opposed to their previously flashed faces) and re-introducing several of Tillinghast's "great hazard" sand wastelands on holes like the par-5 15th. The result is a magnificent renaissance of one of Tilly's best courses and a first-time appearance in our Second 100 Greatest Courses ranking.
