Morris Hatalsky

Regular players at Trillium understand perfectly why Golf Digest magazine designated Trillium Links a 4 1/2 star course. And it comes as no surprise to people who know the reputation of course designer, Morris Hatalsky.

Morris Hatalsky started playing golf at age 10 after his brother gave him a set of clubs. At 17, he won the Mexico National Junior champion, and in 1969 was the San Diego High School golfer of the Year.

Hatalsky joined the PGA Tour in 1976 and has since played in 489 tournaments. Along with his four wins he has finished in the top-ten 32 times and earned the distinction of "Putter of the Decade."

Hatalsky retired from a successful 20-year career in the PGA Tour in 1996 and put his talents and artistry to work designing and overseeing the construction of Trillium's 18-hole championship course.

After turning 50 years old, Morris returned to the Champions Tour where he was named "Rookie of the Year" in 2002 and once again made his mark on the golfing world by winning several major events.
