Desmond Muirhead designed The CC at Silver Springs Shores in 1969. At this time in the 60's he was one of the top architects in the world and soon after partnered with Jack Nicklaus. He held Jack's hand in his formative years of design and was instrumental in designing Muirfield Village and several other projects the seven years he was with him. Desmond was an urban planner and architect who got into golf course while he was planning a golf community in Arizona. After his experience with Nicklaus he stepped away from golf for 10 years and resurfaced with several eye opening "land sculpture" designs. SSS is by far one of the best designs in this region with excellent green complexes and challenging assortment of holes. Since I last played here 3 years ago the club has hired a new superintendent. The conditions are now very good which prompted me to take a full array of photos with my Iphone. Gold+
