About the Architects
Michael Hurdzan and Dana Fry
When you talk about the architects of Wild Rock Golf Club, you are talking about living legends. It takes a lifetime for most courses to be considered legendary. We struck gold the day we walked the land with the architects. Wild Rock was destined to quickly become a legendary golf course.
“Michael Hurdzan and Dana Fry knew right away, as did we, that Wild Rock was meant to be. The land was here, it was easy to visualize and we created the holes to fit in and around the natural landscape. This course is a good test of golf.” Pat Stein, General Manager-Director of Golf Operations.
