"Founded in 1895, Salem originally opened in Salem, Massachusetts, before moving to Peabody in 1926, where Ross designed the course on the former Sanders Farm. It didn’t take long for the USGA to arrive, as six years later, Virginia Van Wie defeated Glenna Collett Vare, 10 and 8, to win the U.S. Women’s Amateur, the first of three consecutive titles for Van Wie."

"The scale of the work has been monumental. 'Seminole deserves the very best and this membership was committed to providing all that was necessary to ensure its future,' says club president Jimmy Dunne III. Through the leadership of Dunne and Nelson Caron, Seminole’s director of golf course operations, the course has seen every green rebuilt and expanded, and every bunker refined – many of them pinched in closer to landing areas – and rebuilt to endure and remain playable for many years."

"The biggest changes as part of the restoration project, overseen by New Jersey-based architect Tyler Rae, involved the bunkers, which are deeper, and the greens, which are bigger. There also now is tall, wispy fescue grass, more length to the par 4s and more ditches that players must contend with on a historic Donald Ross course that, during the Rocket's run, often has been criticized by fans and many in the media as being much too easy for players of PGA Tour-caliber."

"In 2023, pine trees were removed between the first fairway and the third tee and replaced by four fescue mounds, which are featured in many Ross designs.
