About Jerry Pate and Jerry Pate Golf Design
Jerry Pate burst into the golf world in 1974, winning the U.S. Amateur championship and competing on that year’s victorious Walker Cup team. In his rookie season of 1976 he struck one of the most famous shots in golf history, a 190-yard five-iron to within two feet of the flagstick on the 72nd hole of the U.S. Open Championship at Atlanta Athletic Club. He went on to win seven other times on the PGA Tour, including the 1982 Player’s Championship at the TPC Sawgrass. He has won in Japan, Columbia, Scotland and Brazil, played on the U.S. Ryder Cup team and served as a broadcast analyst for ABC, CBS and the BBC.

In more than 25 years as a golf course designer, Pate has collaborated with such luminaries as Tom Fazio, Pete Dye, Bob Cupp, Jack Nicklaus, and Ron Garl. His design at Kiva Dunes GC in Fort Morgan, Alabama, hosted the 1997 and 1998 PGA Tour Qualifying tournaments and has been ranked among the state’s top five courses and America’s top 100 courses since its opening in 1995. Other award-winning designs include Ol’ Colony Golf Club in Tuscaloosa, Alabama; Limestone Springs GC in Oneonta, Alabama; Canebrake GC in Hattiesburg, Mississippi; and Rancho La Quinta GC in La Quinta, California. The highly anticipated Shadow Isle Golf Club in Colts Neck, New Jersey and Flagstaff Ranch Golf Club in Flagstaff, Arizona will both open in summer of this year.
