Seminole Paintings and Prints

Seminole Golf Club, at Juno Beach on Florida's Atlantic coast, opened in 1929. Donald Ross designed the course on sandy land beside the ocean, and although it was later revised by Dick Wilson and restored by Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw, it remains one of the most admired of Ross's designs.

The course uses two parallel ridges of sand dunes, one along the beach and one inland, with lower ground between them. Holes climb onto the ridges and run along them, and the ocean is in view for much of the round. Its many white-sand bunkers and its greens, several of which sit on raised ground exposed to the wind, make it a demanding test, and the steady wind off the Atlantic changes the character of the course from one day to the next.

Seminole has always been private and has rarely opened to tournament golf. That changed in 2020, when it hosted a televised charity match, and in 2021, when it hosted the Walker Cup.

The club was founded by the investment banker E.F. Hutton. Ross routed the course so that 14 of the 18 holes touch the two lines of dunes, and because the holes turn in every direction on a narrow, rectangular site, each one meets the wind at a different angle. Gil Hanse and Jim Wagner have since been engaged to recreate the internal contours of Ross's greens from his plans.

The 17th, which plays along the Atlantic shoreline with ocean breezes often in play, is the hole Linda Hartough painted at Seminole.

The Seminole print is available as a canvas giclée, in a limited edition and as an artist proof, in sizes from 12"x20" to 36"x60".
