The South course at NCR Country Club was one of two golf courses originally laid out in the mid 1950s for the employees of the NCR Corporation. The country club is still owned by the employees of the giant NCR global technology company and joining the club is still free today for all NCR staff.
Dick Wilson designed both the North and South courses and the latter is universally considered the best. The 7,055-yard South route has become known as the “thinking man’s course” because accuracy rather than length is key to a good score on this heavily wooded, cleverly bunkered and often doglegged layout.
NCR’s South course has hosted three major championships – the 1969 PGA Championship, the 1986 U.S. Women’s Open and the 2005 U.S. Senior Open. Ray Floyd won the former tournament and Gary Player suggested that golf architects “could learn a lesson from this course”. Jack Nicklaus is an admirer of the sloping green on the long par three 13th and said “what a job that architect Dick Wilson did!”

Dick Wilson was literally born into construction as the son of a golf course contractor, helping his father as a young man during the building of the West course at Merion Golf Club.
