Donald Ross is without question one of the greatest golf course architects in history. Ross's routing of the Plymouth Country Club is an excellent use of a terrific rolling property. The opening three holes are wide and pleasant and help warm the player up for what is to come. They feature great long views out towards the ocean. The next six holes offer a wonderful rollercoaster ride playing over and through valleys. The changes of pace from short holes to long demanding holes are exceptional. The next nine continues the ride with even more dramatic undulations and a couple of big drops that increase the excitement. The opening stretch on the back nine features a string of par fours that are as good as anything in golf. The back nine winds in around the terrain and finishes with a spectacular set of holes and some really terrific green sites.
