      British-born American golf course architect (b. June 20, 1906, Ince, Eng.—d. June 14, 2000, Fort Lauderdale, Fla.), was one of the world's leading designers of golf courses. He designed or remodeled more than 500 courses during a career that spanned seven decades. After a brief stint as a professional golfer, Jones took up golf course architecture in the 1930s. Among his notable course designs were the Spyglass Hill Golf Course, Pebble Beach, Calif., and Peachtree Golf Club, Atlanta, Ga. He also remodeled Augusta National Golf Club, Augusta, Ga., and Oakland Hills Country Club, Bloomfield Hills, Mich. In 1947 Jones became a founding member of the American Society of Golf Course Architects and later served as the society's president.
