Jones was born in Scotland and moved as a boy to the United States. He studied golf course design at Cornell University.  He sometimes worked creatively with famed golfer Bobby Jones, no relation, on golf course design and as a result he began to add his middle name to show what he called himself to distinguish himself from Bobby Jones. When Robert Trent Jones worked with Bobby Jones on the redesign of the 11th and 16th holes at Augusta National Golf Course, the former's name became very well-known. Robert Trent Jones received the prestigious Old Tom Morris Award, and he is an inductee into the World Golf Hall of Fame.
