Todd Eckenrode – Origins Golf Design is thrilled to see our transformation of Sharon Heights Golf & Country Club receive this great recognition as featured in Sports Illustrated.
Maverick McNealy would hardly recognize the course he grew up playing. McNealy, 29, and formerly the world’s top-ranked amateur while at Stanford, now resides in Las Vegas, but he thrived as a junior at Sharon Heights, a low-key Bay Area club with a 1962 Jack Fleming design that’s a favorite among Silicon Valley executives and San Francisco 49ers personnel. If McNealy flew back today for a trip around his old stomping grounds, he would find the hole corridors and towering redwoods he remembered, but little else would look familiar, so complete was the transformation by architect Todd Eckenrode and his Origins Golf Design team.
