Roy Dye

Roy Anderson Dye, often called "Andy" Dye, was a respected American golf course architect and a notable member of the Dye family, one of golf architecture’s most influential dynasties. Born in Urbana, Ohio in 1929, Roy began his professional life as a chemical engineer before joining his brother Pete Dye in golf design in 1969. Drawing on a Scottish-inspired style, Roy blended deep pot bunkers, rolling fairways, and small greens to create challenging layouts. He collaborated on projects with Pete and later led his own, creating and renovating courses across the United States, Canada, and Mexico. His best-known design is the Cabo San Lucas Country Club in Mexico, his final project. Dedicated to family, Roy involved his children in the design process, ensuring the Dye legacy continued. He passed away in 1994, leaving behind a legacy defined by innovative course architecture and a persistent family spirit.
