When legendary World Golf Hall of Fame architect Pete Dye designed the 250-acre golf course at The Ford Field & River Club, his vision was to craft an experience that was both enjoyable and accessible for golfers of all skill levels. The result is an award-winning course that seamlessly blends natural beauty and strategic design—featuring a parkland-style front nine and a links-style back nine, all shaped by the surrounding coastline, meadows, and freshwater lakes.
