Douglas Grant
Douglas Grant (1888 - 1976) was an American golfer and golf course architect. He is best known as one of the original architects of Pebble Beach Golf Links, along with Jack Neville.
In the early part of the 20th century, Samuel F.B. Morse was challenged to make the Pebble Beach area an appealing and profitable real estate investment, with the goal of finding a buyer. He decided to create a one-of-a-kind golf course, one with unsurpassed scenic beauty, as well as an element of difficulty that would always be challenging but never conquered.
Douglas Grant was liquidation, not development, he had to minimize costs. He convinced his board that the course could be maintained by sheep and designed at no cost by two amateur golfers: Jack Neville and Douglas Grant.
Although neither Neville nor Grant had any experience at course design, the pair designed a championship course that has seen remarkably few changes over the years. The course you now play is a testament to the extraordinary talent and vision of Jack Neville and Douglas Grant.
