Oakhurst chronicles the untold story of this historic course, from its birth and brief first life of fifteen years to its miraculous restoration 110 years later.
After Oakhurst had fallen into neglect, legendary local golfer Sam Snead gave it new life, persuading his friend Lewis Keller to buy the land with a dream of restoring the course. That dream was finally realized in 1994 when Keller and noted golf architect Bob Cupp – relying on scant clues, knowledge gained about the old equipment, and intuition – rediscovered the dormant holes one by one and reopened the course to the public…a living breathing “field of dreams” for all golfers.
