What Might Have Been

Sven Nilsen:
Perhaps this should have been the last piece of Wexler's trilogy, a compendium of projects that never got off the ground. 

Please feel free to chime in with any information you might have about the projects, the locations or the parties involved or any other esoteric musings that comes to mind.

I may have highlighted several of these elsewhere, but thought putting them in one place might generate some insights.

First up, a Langford & Moreau project near Kenosha, WI, to be built in connection with a massive development called Shoreland.

There's an old thread that briefly discussed the course -

Another Wisconsin project, this one a private course for the Du Rocher family in Centerville with the course to be designed by John McElhatton.

Sven Nilsen:
Moving on to Vermont, here's a 6 hole course (a number that somehow seems to perfectly fit the scale of small town New England).

The course was to be designed by Joseph Mitchell for the Higgins Tavern at Lake Dunmore.

Sven Nilsen:
Today, Mount Vernon comprises 500 acres.  When our first president lived there, it totaled over 8,000.  In 1927 there plans to use part of what was known as the Mount Vernon farm to form a Yacht and Golf Club and to have Harry Collis construct a golf course.
