He built over 100 courses in about 20 years, his first in 1914, at age 40. His mentor and co-architect on several courses was Charles Blair Macdonald, the creator of the National Golf Links of America, and a member of the World Golf Hall of Fame.[1][2] Raynor was born in Manorville, New York. He attended Princeton University, studying civil engineering, before leaving in 1898. He married Mary Hallock in 1903, and for the first years of his working life, engineered drains, roads and waterworks. In 1908, Raynor was hired to perform a boundary survey of the site for National Golf Links of America], on Long Island, by Charles Blair Macdonald. The course that was eventually built is considered one of the top courses in America. By 1914, Raynor was handling his first solo design projects, including the Country Club of Fairfield[3], in Connecticut, and Westhampton Country Club[4] on Long Island, New York. Between 1914-1917, Raynor oversaw the construction of The Lido Club[5]. Raynor, a non-golfer, reportedly did not want his designs to deteriorate to his level of play. "The golfer should learn to play the ideal links and the ideal links should not come down to the playing ability of the lesser skilled player." His strict adherence to the philosophy of his mentor, Charles Blair Macdonald, of replicating the design features of the best holes from Europe, engineering excellence, and masterful understanding of the key features of links golf, inspired his best work. Raynor died from pneumonia in 1926, age 51, while in West Palm Beach, Florida, to open the Everglades Golf Club. Golf courses
