Chris Santella Architect Quotations

One of legendary architect Pete Dye's most celebrated courses, Teeth of the Dog is named for a local term describing the island's jagged-edged coral reefs. The Caribbean-bordering par 3s are the Dog's main draw and down on the fifth and the seventh holes, you're so close to the water that you can feel the spray.

Situated a mile high in the Canadian Rockies, Banff Springs is one of the most spectacular golf course settings in the world. Legendary architect Stanley Thompson sculpted the course on a broad scale to maximize the impact of the vistas. A hole called the 'Devil's Cauldron' is framed by Mount Rundle and considered one of the game's most compelling par-3s.
