A different approach.

The Gilroy sits next door to the original 18 at Old Barnwell, on the same sandy, pine-covered ground. Rather than build a second version of a course people already love, we set out on purpose to make it feel different.

The two courses have their own distinct character and style, giving them each a unique feel while striving to uphold our own high standards for design, strategy, playability, and fun. I've been on site since the clearing lines were flagged in 2025, through grading, shaping and grassing. It's open for preview play now and officially opens in fall 2027.
