Renowned golf course architect Seth J. Raynor came to Honolulu in 1925. Perhaps it was just chance that brought them together, but when Frazier took Raynor out to look at the tract of land he was proposing as a site for the golf course, Raynor was immediately enthusiastic. The Honolulu Advertiser of January 23, 1927, reported his response: “There is no doubt in my mind but that a course of championship length can be laid out there that will easily rank among the best five or six in the United States.”
