Willie Dunn Jr.

Willie Dunn Jr. (1865-1952) was a Scottish golf professional and influential early golf course architect, particularly prominent in the United States. Part of a famous golfing family, he was involved in the design of numerous early American courses, including notable contributions to Shinnecock Hills, one of the oldest formal golf clubs in the US. Dunn brought traditional Scottish design principles across the Atlantic, helping to shape the nascent landscape of golf architecture in America during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He was also an accomplished player, competing in the early US Opens.
