Denver CC, CO (1985, renovation) / Kings Crossing, TX (1986; now closed) / Golf du Médoc, Fra (1989, Châteaux course) / Rockport CC, TX (1984, his first solo design).

After graduating from Wake Forest University in 1968, Coore joined the firm of Pete Dye and Associates in 1972, so beginning his very produtive golf course design and construction career. Under the guidance of Pete Dye and his family, Coore developed a profound understanding of the key elements of creative design and physical construction.

It was the Dye family who first introduced Coore to the written classics of golf architecture - the same books that professional golfer Ben Crenshaw was then collecting and studying. The information within these books would later form the foundation for the highly successful golf design partnership that Coore struck-up with Crenshaw in 1986.
