agree. Tree farm, old barnwell, broomsedge, solina not up for consideration since they didnt make the rankings yet. but they will

I actually quite like Congaree and Yeamans. Mostly agree on everything else.

Wildwood’s logo is showing up all over the Portland area.

Oak Tree National outside of OKC would like everyone to acknowledge the blatant plagiarism of its logo - which is based on an actual tree on the course.

I’m gonna need someone more knowledgeable on the logo origins to expand on this, they are literally the same. I’m seeing that Kiawah Island Resort first opened also in 1976 but obviously the Dye Ocean Course wasn’t built until the 90s, so I don’t know when they adopted the tree logo

I maybe don’t have it pixel perfect but this is the Oak Tree logo (pulled from their website) overlaid on top of the Kiawah one (pulled from their FB page)

It was formerly owned by Landmark Land co., which also owned (or owns, idk) Oak Tree National.

Jeff_M · August 30, 2023, 7:22pm

I see, so it’s “for the brand” or something. Thanks for educating me on that, bit of a shame they didn’t at least do an original logo for their most high profile property

lol I honestly didn’t know of the connection, I should have realized when I saw them side by side in almost identical colors

Well it is overrated. Cool concept, but the execution is a bit mid. There are way better logos.

treeputttim · August 31, 2023, 8:45pm

Kingsley Logo is one of my favorites. I think the Loop logo is strong as well.

This looks like the logo outside a suburban office complex.

I believe National is owned by a very high net worth individual currently. I think Oak Tree CC is owned by a group called Invited

Congaree logo slaps. Hard.

kricupero · September 1, 2023, 2:15pm

Agreed! No words or numbers is

Is there a worse logo than Secession?

dmmcgaha · September 1, 2023, 3:39pm

Can’t tell you how many times people ask what the A stands for.

Ballgame · September 1, 2023, 3:57pm

Maybe the old Secession logo?

Or is it good and isn’t #problematic b/c of the historical ties of Beaufort, SC.

Forty · September 1, 2023, 3:58pm

Yeah, that’s about as bad as a logo can get right there.

BigHapaPump · September 1, 2023, 4:06pm

Bad name, bad logo. Course looks really cool though.
