Belvedere Golf Club dates back to 1925 and within two years of its formation, William Watson, the architect of the Lake course at the Olympic Club, had fashioned eighteen fairways for the members with the assistance of five teams of horses and a workforce of one hundred and fifty men.
“Belvedere is exactly the kind of course golf needs more of,” commented Tom Doak in his Little Red Book of Golf Course Architecture, “but that no one is building. It’s basically an old farm. There’s no wow factor, except in the detailing around the greens which is exceptional.
Goes with the flow of the land. Very simple bunkering which must cost pennies to maintain. Great greens, and great greens surrounds for chipping. Simple to build, simple to maintain.”

William Watson began designing golf courses during a time period when most people in the United States knew nothing about the game of golf, much less how to play or gain access to golf clubs.
