A BRIEF HISTORY OF ECHO LAKE'S GOLF COURSE
After two years of construction under the guidance of architect Donald Ross and local Professional George Low, Echo Lake Country Club moved to its current site in Spring of 1913. Modified by Robert White and Willard Wilkinson, the course attained its current form by 1928; the Girls' Junior Championship is being played on essentially the same layout that Paul Runyan and Walter Hagen battled on in the 1934 Metropolitan Open.
Designed in an era when match play was the game of the day, and prior to extensive irrigation systems, the course was planned with the ground game in mind; utilizing approaches as landing areas for many shots was the key for success in those days of hard and fast conditions. Echo Lake is normally maintained to mirror these original conditions, and if the conditions are right the Girls' Junior Championship may be decided by the ability to adapt to those conditions.
