A Legendary Design Rediscovered
Less than 40 minutes from Augusta National Golf Club, a bold new private club is turning heads by bringing one of golf’s lost architectural treasures back to life.
SI.com recently posted a story about golf course plan created by the legendary architect Alister MacKenzie that never came to fruition. Originally intended to be Argentina’s El Boquerón®, Augusta-area businessman Wes Farrell dusted off the decades-old, unrealized plan and created 21 Golf Club on the rolling landscape of Jackson, South Carolina.
Unique Features Honoring MacKenzie’s Genius
As the article details, although the 21 Golf Club is not an exact replica, it follows MacKenzie’s principles. It was designed in collaboration with Brian Zager, featuring dramatic 150-foot elevation drops, strategic deception, and nine double greens serving 18 distinct holes.
Exciting Timeline and Growing Interest
The article reports strong momentum, and interest has been overwhelming, with thousands of inquiries and several founding members already committed. Future plans include a second course by King-Collins, plus premium practice facilities and member cottages.
A Name Full of Meaning
The article recognizes that the name “21 Club” holds personal significance, honoring Farrell’s father and three daughters, all born on the 21st.
The 21 Golf Club promises to be a unique golf experience, giving a new generation of golfers a timeless taste of MacKenzie’s architectural legacy.
