Eating Disorders: Claremont Country Club

Claremont Country Club

The Claremont Country Club maintains a history room with photographs, trophies and memorabilia. I proposed using historical photographs, paintings and trophies while building upon the Scottish origins of golf. Tartan backdrops for historic trophies were created to describe events of importance to generations of Club members. An installation of a kilt and sporum worn during an annual tournament by a beloved golf pro was designed. MacKenzie was born at the family home in Normanton, near Leeds in Yorkshire, England to parents of Scottish extraction. His mother, Mary Jane Smith MacKenzie had family roots in Glasgow. His father, William Scobie MacKenzie, a medical doctor, had been born and raised in the Scottish Highlands near Lochinvar. From the earliest, MacKenzie was raised as a Scotsman. Although christened after his paternal grandfather Alexander, he was called "Alister" (Gaelic for Alexander) from birth. As a youth, MacKenzie and his family spent Summers near Lochnivar, on what had been traditional Clan MacKenzie lands from 1670-1745. MacKenzie's strong identification with his Scottish roots featured prominently in many aspects of his later life.

The 18-hole "Claremont" course at the Claremont Country Club facility in Oakland, California features 5,469 yards of golf from the longest tees for a par of 68 . The course rating is 67.0 and it has a slope rating of 121 on Bent grass. Designed by Alister MacKenzie, the Claremont golf course opened in 1903. Bill Squires manages the course as the General Manager.
