Old Hawthorne

Despite the name, “Old Hawthorne” is actually quite new, being designed during 2007 by Keith Foster associate Art Schaupeter.

Choices of route are a recurring theme throughout the round as players are frequently faced with centreline bunkers and other hazards that imply multiple ways to the green, with the more efficient of the two usually requiring a daring shot from the tee. The case-and-point is the closer, where the dangerous route right gives a healthy look at the green while the play to the conservative lower fairway leaves nothing but blindness.

All this comes into play during events hosted by the University of Missouri (which calls Old Hawthorne its home club,) and during “The Stampede,” a member-guest event that has gained such popularity during the club’s short existence as to be labeled the best member-guests event in the United States by GOLF Magazine. Make a friend try to remember the best moves before you get invited back for The Stampede!
