Scope of Work
Entire scope for a new championship golf course
A complete redesign on a property that previously held 27 holes, Raymond Hearn’s work on The Cardinal has received raves since formally opening in 2024. “Super-enjoyable,” said Forbes, while Golfweek said the “new main layout is a total rethink of the property to create an original experience across the rolling landscape.”
“But wow, there are 18 brand-new holes on this former 27-hole site, and none resemble any other. You get a great mixture of scenery, direction, short and long holes, wide and narrow views from the tees, forgiving and unforgiving breaks, etc.”
—Scott Kramer, Forbes
“Designed by Michigan-based architect Raymond Hearn, The Cardinal establishes a completely new routing on the undulating, 200-acre plot previously occupied by the resort’s 27-hole course, taking inspiration from some of the great British Heathland designs, The Cardinal captures a historic flavor, while Hearn designed other amenities that make the entire facility fun for golfers old and new.”
