Jay Morrish (c. 1936 – March 2, 2015) was an American golf course designer. He graduated from Colorado State University with a degree in Landscape and Nursery Management. In 1964, he taught Horticulture at that university while pursuing graduate degrees.

Career

[edit]

Morrish served a four-year apprenticeship with Robert Trent Jones, and subsequently two years with George Fazio.

From 19721982, he worked for Jack Nicklaus as a member of his golf course design support staff.[2] In 1983, Morrish left the Nicklaus organization and formed a partnership with PGA Tour professional Tom Weiskopf. The Morrish/Weiskopf partnership resulted in the design or updating of more than twenty golf courses. Carter Morrish, Jay Morrish's son, joined in 1998 to form Jay Morrish and Associates in 1988 where they designed the 2 courses at Boulders Resort & Spa. Pine Canyon Club Golf Course was the last golf course Morrish designed.[3]

Morrish was a member of the American Society of Golf Course Architects, and was president of that body from 20022004. In 2007, Morrish was inducted into the Colorado Golf Hall of Fame in a ceremony at Columbine Country Club. He died at the age of 78 on March 2, 2015.[4]
