The Designers

Originally designed by Joe Lee and Robert von Hagge in 1975, The Oaks was redesigned by Jay Morrish & Associates in 1999. Jay Morrish is known as a studious and intelligent designer, having studied under both Robert Trent Jones, Sr. and George Fazio. After spending 10 years working with Jack Nicklaus at Nicklaus Design, Morrish left in 1983 and partnered with PGA Tour Player Tom Weiskopf. The Morrish-Weiskopf team went on to design 26 courses, including the first Troon Golf and Country Club in Arizona. Morrish was named “Architect of the Year” by Golf World magazine in 1996 and continues to design championship courses with his son Carter.
