Book excerpt: The Golf Course & Grounds tells the story of Yeamans Hall from Frederick Law Olmsted's original vision for the property in 1915 and Seth Raynor's correspondence and design of the Golf Course in 1925 to the continuing influence of each today. In doing so, it offers a unique view of forces which influenced golf course design and architecture throughout the twentieth century. Woven throughout its pages are stories of the people and events that have shaped the culture of the Club. The cumulative effect is a view to an earlier time and to lessons that continue to manifest themselves in the special environment to be experienced at Yeamans Hall today.
