“The golf course now practically complete, was designed by Mr. Devereux Emmet and constructed under his superintendence, Mr. A.H. Tull, associated. It covers an area situated…in the interior of over 300 acres of land under development by the Seawane Corporation…The course is built on a base of sand and gravel which loam has been spread and thoroughly fertilized. The combination of base and surfacing affords unusual drainage and quality of hazards. This method of design provides a course of about 6,200 yards in length, which while of championship character, will appeal nevertheless to the golfer of average ability…” - Published by the Seawane Estates Corporation in 1928, to promote the golf course sell housing lots around the once private estate golf course.

Almost a century after his death Emmet has rightfully earned this moniker as the Naturalist, first coined by golf historian and Emmet biographer, Mark Chalfant, for his appreciation of all types of interesting terrain upon which to lay a golf course. From the subtle sandy links of Seawane to the rollocking dune ridges of McGregor Links, Emmet left his mark on the game of golf while hardly leaving a trace.
