The Ground
Nugent drew the lines in 1992.
Dick Nugent cut the course from Michigan farmland and left seventy-five bunkers to guard it. The rest is fescue: dry, wind-combed native grass across the mounds between holes. Bentgrass from tee to green, all eighteen. The greens average 7,500 square feet. Finding them is the game.
