The Society

The first meeting of the The Robert Trent Jones Society was held in 2004 in Monterey, California.  Representatives from eight of his top one hundred courses attended. We left the meeting having developed a Mission Statement, a Statement of Objectives, and plans for a great and lasting organization.  Our Mission Statement states that we will “Honor Robert Trent Jones Sr. and his work, preserve the historical information and documents pertinent to golf courses he designed, and to encourage and support the education of member clubs on his principles of design”. Since 2004 the Society has met annually at a Member location in pursuit of our Mission.
