John Fought Design

A former PGA Tour competitor, Fought enjoyed a design career breakout in 2007, with five courses — a blend of solo designs, co-designs and restorations—hosting significant events:

• The Gallery Golf Club-South Course, located near Tucson, Arizona, and one of Fought’s most heralded solo designs, was the site of February’s Accenture Match Play Championship won by Tiger Woods.
• Pine Needles Golf Club, where Fought earlier had completed a widely acclaimed restoration of the Ross classic in Southern Pines, N.C., hosted the U.S. Women’s Open in late June/early July. LPGA star Cristie Kerr wins event.
• Somerby Golf Club, a Fought co-design in Byron, Minnesota, welcomed the Nationwide Tour’s Scholarship America Showdown in mid-July.
• Crosswater Golf Club at Sunriver Resort in Sunriver, Oregon, was home to both the Jeld-Wen Tradition, a major on the Champions Tour, in August as well as the PGA Club National Championship in June.
• Meadows Golf Club, also at Sunriver Resort, served as the host course for the U.S. Senior Women’s Amateur Championship in September.
