Ted McAnlis

Ted McAnlis, a one-time NASA civil engineer, learned golf design by working for architects George and Tom Fazio in Florida in the early 1970s. The Palm Beach Gardens resident designed many Florida country club courses and helped redesign the Blue Monster at Miami's Doral Golf Resort, site of an annual PGA Tour event. 

Ted McAnlis spent nearly 30 years designing courses on his own, doing some of the most beautiful, playable tracks in Florida, including St. Andrews in Boca Raton, Sherman Hills in Brooksville, Waterlefe in Bradenton, The Wanderers in Wellington,  River Wilderness in Parrish, and Venice Golf and Country Club.

In 2002 McAnlis was indicted for not filing a federal income tax return since 1977. In a 2003 trial, prosecutors produced evidence that he had willfully evaded more than a million dollars in taxes, and he was convicted by a jury of tax evasion and sentenced to ten years in federal prison.
