Episode 55: TGH 55: The History of Perry Maxwell
The Golf Course Architecture Magician of the Midwest had the marvelous ability to shape the land in such a way that it would appear that it had to be Nature’s work – it has been said that you wont find 18 better greens in the world, than you will find at the Maxwell Masterpiece – Prairie Dunes County Club.
