Oak Golf Club, MD
Hunters
Oak Golf Club is an 18-hole championship, private,
golf course in Wye Mills, which is situated
on Maryland’s picturesque Eastern Shore
located an hour from Washington, D.C. and Baltimore.
Ian Scott-Taylor finished the project in 1999
and since then he has received consistent critical
acclaim for his British style links design. Since
2003 Hunters Oak has hosted the LPGA FUTURES
Tour Golf Classic.
The
Baltimore Sun stated, “Golf
facilities have been built in the U.S. to resemble
what Scotland, Ireland, and England offer,
but nothing carrying the authenticity of what
Scott-Taylor is doing. It will stand alone
in the character it offers... and will offer
something different – a vicarious trip to Scotland,
Ireland, or England.”
GolfStyles
Magazine (formerly The
Washington Golf Monthly)
reported, “Squint
just a tad, imagine the weather was a little
chillier, and you might think you're in a classic
British links course. There are rolling fairway
hills and a masterful topographic illusions...”.
Golf
World hailed
Scott-Taylor as one of the top 25 architects
in the USA due to his work at Hunters Oak.
