Robertson. Robertson would go on to be elected the 4th president of the USGA in 1901.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Saint Andrew\u2019s moved to its current location &#8212; its fourth, in 1897. The first course at Mount Hope, as it was then known, was laid out by prolific golf course designer William Tucker and Harry Talmadge.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>In 1928, the Saint Andrew\u2019s Board solicited James Braid, Scotland\u2019s most famous and successful course designer for suggestions of improvements. Several of Braid\u2019s recommendations were implemented in 1929.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>There would be little change until 1983 when the Board entered an\u00a0agreement for the redesign and modernization of the course\u00a0with Jack Nicklaus. The present-day course was unveiled in 1985.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The wherewithal to design superb mid-length par-4 holes is no easy task. Playability and challenge need to be intertwined so that maximum versatility can be achieved. The 6th is located in the Sprain River Valley and as\u00a0soon as you arrive at the teeing area you are transfixed by what your eyes behold.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The 394-yard hole is straightforward in its requirements. Finding the fairway is central in maximizing one&#8217;s best opportunity to approach the narrow, elevated two-tiered green. The putting surface is protected by water and encircled by penalizing rough working in tandem with two greenside bunkers &#8212; front and rear.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\">\r\n<figure id=\"attachment_200242\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-200242\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-200242 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/golftoday.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/architecture_st-andrews6-schematic.jpg\" alt=\"Grade \u201cA\u201d Architecture - St Andrews NY\" width=\"900\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/golftoday.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/architecture_st-andrews6-schematic.jpg 900w, https:\/\/golftoday.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/architecture_st-andrews6-schematic-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/golftoday.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/architecture_st-andrews6-schematic-60x60.jpg 60w, https:\/\/golftoday.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/architecture_st-andrews6-schematic-250x250.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-200242\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Courtesy Saint Andrew&#8217;s Golf Club<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 id=\"h-architecture-st-andrews-ny-4\" class=\"has-text-align-right wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"has-inline-color has-white-color\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The stone wall surrounding the pond and waterway crossing the fairway on the approach was completed in 2017. The square footage for the two-tiered green is 3,800.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>&#8220;While the 6th hole is not overly long it requires an accurate tee shot to a narrow fairway to attack the pin on this difficult par 4. Tee shots that end up in the rough will be presented with\u00a0the difficult task of holding this shallow, two-tiered green. While over the green is a certain bogey, short presents a difficult up-and-down to save par,&#8221; said Greg Bisconti, head golf professional.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>&#8220;A tee shot in the fairway will allow you to attack both the upper right pin location as well as the lower tier left pin locations, however an accurate shot is required to give you a birdie opportunity.&#8221;<br \/><br \/>The requirements are clear<a href=\"\/grade-a-architecture-tpc-river-highlands\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">.<\/a> Nothing less than successful execution will ensure an outcome of lasting success.<br \/><br \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>***<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>For more info go to:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.saintandrewsgolfclub.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">www.saintandrewsgolfclub.com<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Saint Andrew&#8217;s Golf Club, Hastings-on-Hudson, New York, USA<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":200249,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"iawp_total_views":1,"footnotes":""},"categories":[57,9144,25],"tags":[3227,3778,1281,4155,5409,5911,271,1661,5848,69,175,5915,5496],"class_list":["post-230304","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-architecture","category-rest-of-the-world","category-travel","tag-golf-architecture","tag-golf-lifestyle","tag-golf-travel","tag-grade-a-architecture","tag-greg-bisconti","tag-hastings-on-hudson","tag-jack-nicklaus","tag-james-braid","tag-july-2021","tag-m-james-ward","tag-new-york","tag-saint-andrews-golf-club","tag-united-states-golf-association-usga"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.0 (Yoast SEO v24.0) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Architecture - St Andrews NY - Hole #6 - Golf Today<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Architecture - St Andrews NY - Founded in 1888, it was on the ground floor when golf was in its earliest moments in the United States.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/golftoday.co.uk\/grade-a-architecture-st-andrews-golf-club-new-york\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_GB\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Grade \u201cA\u201d Architecture\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Architecture - St Andrews NY - Founded in 1888, it was on the ground floor when golf was in its earliest moments in the United States.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/golftoday.co.uk\/grade-a-architecture-st-andrews-golf-club-new-york\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Golf Today\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2021-07-10T10:29:23+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-02-27T11:59:15+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/golftoday.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/architecture_st-andrews6-scaled.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1024\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"576\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"M.
