About the Subject: Thendara Golf Club
Established in 1921, Thendara is a prime example of Golden Age golf architecture. Its front nine was designed by the legendary mastermind Donald Ross, and the course has since been played by titans of the game including Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Gary Player, and Sam Snead. Helder’s map brilliantly captures the rustic beauty of Thendara with exceptional style and accuracy.
