South Toledo was first designed as a country club, and the club says that's why its greens have movement in them. Bunkers guard them well, too.
It was built between 1925 and 1927 as the south course of Heather Downs Country Club. The architect, William J. Rockefeller, came from New York and had been Inverness Club's first greens superintendent. It's believed Donald Ross helped him lay out the holes and shape those greens, with horses dragging scrapers to push topsoil up into slopes and rolls.
Arthur Hills was brought in to redesign three holes with new greens in 1994. Several thousand trees cover the course, some of them more than 75 years old. Leagues run for men, women and couples, and new golfers have beginner leagues of their own.
