Less than 40 minutes from the front gates of the architect Alister MacKenzie’s original Georgia masterpiece, Augusta National Golf Club, a longtime Augusta businessman is building a replica of a MacKenzie design once thought lost forever.
MacKenzie, once a surgeon back in the U.K., is credited for designing some of the most famous golf courses in the world, including Cypress Point, Crystal Downs, Lahinch and Royal Melbourne. But his boldest design, El Boquerón in Argentina, was never built for unknown reasons and the plans were lost for nearly 40 years.
