Title: A Compilation of Routing Maps, Plans and Architectural Drawings
Post by: Ed Oden on February 01, 2010, 10:54:57 PM
I love course routing plans and drawings.  There have been quite a few posted on this site over the years.  But they are all too often lost in the middle of random threads.  So I thought it would be nice to compile these drawings and plans in one spot.  In coming posts, I will attach some that I have found.  By no means, however, have I done an exhaustive search.  Plus, I am no historian.  So it would be nice if others would add anything they have found or otherwise have copies of.  If there is any interest, I will use this initial post as an index and periodically update it as things are added.  Of course, I'll take no offense if people think this is a dumb idea and let this thread slide into the land of back page obscurity.

There are no real rules here.  I don't care whether the drawings are of a great course or one no one has ever heard of, new or old, NLE or never built.  That being said, personally, I am primarily interested in things that are not easily found on a club's/course's web site.  So, for example, I won't be attaching plans of the Bandon resort courses since everyone pretty much knows where they can be found.  That being said, I also have no problem if someone else wants to post them.

Thanks in advance to anyone interested in adding to this thread.

Thanks Ed and Melvyn,

Interesting to see that Kingston Heath's bunkering is exclusively credited to Mackenzie, but the current bunkering is totally different.

Ed Oden:

Wonderful idea, subject and thread. Thank you.

I would note of all those various plans a few of Mackenzie's (Kingston Heath, El Boqueron, Cavendish) that seem to be far more developed architectural drawings than just basic "stick routings" (which tend to have little on them other than lines) and the interesting treatment of fairways on those Mackenzie plans. Kingston Heath has a number of areas of what we call "melded fairways" between holes and the other two seem to purposefully have no fairway lines at all on those fairly highly developed architectural drawings.

Was this the actual application of the mention by the likes of Mackenzie and Behr that they wanted to experiment with basically no formal rough in an attempt to take "strategic" architecture and strategic play to another and far more advanced level?

The architectural drawing (on topo) approved in April 1915 for Cobb's Creek GC, in Philadelphia;

Tom, if you take a trip out to Santa Barbara and play Mackenzie's Valley Club of Montecito, you can see some of those "melded fairways" in living color today!  The fairways of #16 and #18 meld together for about 150 yards, and all the grass surrounding the 15th green, 16th tee and 18th green is cut at tight fairway length, maybe 4 acres worth.  It is a wonderful look and offers a ton of playing options.

Looking at the drawing (Reply #3) which hangs in the men's grill, you can see that this was Mackenzie's intention.

On some other thread and in some emails to some of us you wanted to know what it would cost to have a topo done of Cobbs Creek. Just use the one you posted above. Just think----it maybe the only time in golf architecture history somebody used a 95 year old topo for a current project.  ;)
Title: Re: A Compilation of Routing Maps, Plans and Architectural Drawings
Post by: Mike Cirba on February 02, 2010, 12:28:36 PM
Tom,

Now that's some frugal Quaker thinking!  ;)

Unfortunately, they won't let us have the original, but I'm hoping to get a duplicate copy, if nothing else than to compare against a modern aerial topo to see what, if anything, has changed.

Post by: Tim Nugent on February 02, 2010, 12:29:04 PM
Tom Paul, I guess it depends upon your definition of "rough".  You would probably need to examine an architects full body of work chonologigically to see if patterns emerged.  It could be that the drawings with "fairways" were to indicate where to clear to and plant grass.  Whereas others were already in meadowlands and intended to be kept as such and left to the greenskeeper to mow as he saw fit.  We can only guess.  I also wonder if some "Routings" aren't actually "As-builts" or plans developed after the features were constructed to show where the greenskeeper should maintain as playable grounds.  Some old plans are actually surveys done by local engineering/surveying companies  and as such, they would naturally documents things such as fairway lines.

Nice to see we're back to discussions on architecture vs golfers.  The one thing that jumps out at me is (in 2-D) the closeness of some greens to what we refer to as "kill-zones" today.  Must have been nice not to have to worry about lawsuits and Professional Liability linsurance.

Augusta looks a bit different with the reversed nines. Todays 16th (no.7) is almost unrecognisable. I believe the bunker in the middle of the 11th fairway (no.2) was removed before the courses opening because Bobby Jones father or someone related to him hit into it before the courses opening.

Wow, what a bunch of interesting maps and routing plans!  It would be great if there were a way to save this thread and some other vital stuff in an accessible but separate area of the website.

I think the most interesting thing I saw is the plan of North Berwick that shows a double green for #6 and #12!  I had never heard of that before.   The current 12th green is much closer to the ocean and well separated from the 6th green.

Ed, thanks for all the work putting this together and coordinating others' submissions.

How cool is that double green for #1 and #17 at North Berwick?   

Or, many of the other features on that map, including the 6/12 double green?

I think we should push for a restoration!  ;)  ;D

Mike, I knew about 1 and 17, that could still be done today, but 6 and 12 are well separated these days.  First time I've ever seen that mentioned!

I'd like to thank everyone who has participated in this thread.  It has turned out far better than I could have imagined.  Proof positive of the wealth of knowledge and information within the walls of the DG.  While I appreciate the kind words thrown in my direction, the real praise should go to those who have collected or created all these great materials.  That's why I've tried to give those persons credit when I reposted their items (sorry for stealing your North Berwick thunder James Boon).  Anyway, I have every expectation that this thread will slide off the front page in the not too distant future as enthusiasm wanes.  Regardless, I hope people will remember to add things as they crop up or notify me so that I can do so.  Thanks again!

It is interesting to contrast that plan by Bendelow for Nakoma with his earlier stuff. At the time of Nakoma he was partnered with Myron West at American Park Builders; West was a fairly prominent Landscape Architect. You can see his influence in the drawing, from the use of water feature to the grouping of trees to the presentation style.

When you are reviewing the drawings can you tell me the oldest drawing you have that illustrates grassing lines? The question comes from a discussion had on this site about when they first started showing up on plans.

Michael, its impossible to say since so many of them are not dated.  But take a look at the first picture in Reply #50 for a 1912 map of Chicago Golf Club that clearly shows fairway lines.  So the practice goes back at least that far.

Does anyone know a place or places where some of these may be for sale?  I have St. Andrews and Pebble Beach in my study framed and I like the routing maps, architectural drawings much better than pictures of courses.  

I assume they are the property of the clubs not the architect but I have not seen them for sale at any clubs.

Thanks.

Paul,

1>  As maybe mentioned previously,  for  Ross courses,  you can visit the  Tufts Archives  web site, http://www.tuftsarchives.org/   

From home page you go to 'Donald Ross' and then  'List of Ross Courses' and then  'View...' .   You will a list of Ross courses, and the documents for each course.  Tufts has the  'Ross' layouts for a number of courses, and has the individual hole sketches in some instances.

I noted Tufts has routing plans for a number of courses and quickly noted a few courses often discussed at GCA,

Aronimick
Holston Hills
Linville
Longmeadow
Oak Hill
Seminole

I ordered a copy of Ross' Seminole plan and was happy with the result.

2>    At  eBay,  if you search   'golf course maps'   you can find a number of the 'modern' color renderings of the old courses.  A few are in the style of the 'World Atlas of Golf'  if you know what I mean.  It is the style of oblique aerial sketchings that I first noticed in World Atlas of Golf back in the mid 80s.

This is the golf course plan for Holston Hills designed by Ross.  The plan was drawn by WI Johnson as indicated by name in lower left hand corner.

This image was created from an old dirty blueprint which was scanned and cleaned up.   The scanned image was enlarged to about 3 by 5 feet as shown below, and is framed out to about 4 by 6 feet, and is hung above the fireplace in the clubhouse ballroom.

The old plan shows the current routing, and green locations, a few new tees being added through the years.

Below is the routing map for Lookout Mountain designed by Raynor.  The plan was drawn by a local Chattanooga company. Two foot contours are marked on the drawing.

The plan shows the original hole sequence with the location of the clubhouse on the edge of the brow (a sheer 1000 foot precipice) behind the current no. 2 green.

So the original first would be the current 3rd.    The routing remains intact, except due to the move of clubhouse location, the present first became a par 4,  instead of the par 5 as planned for original 17th.     The present clubhouse is between the 16th hole and 17th tee in this 1926 plan.  

You can see the Short and the Biarritz, and the Alps.

The map has this nice coloring of an old brown, and darker brown for the bunkers,  and a dark green.

Oh, and the club was originally named  Fairyland as you can see in the photo.  The area roads up on the mountain are named  Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, etc.   The locals pronounce the name  as   'fair-land' to this day (the y is silent).  The story goes that the wonderful supporter of all things Chattanooga and amateur golf,   Mr. Jack Lupton played in a member guest up at a fancy eastern club.  One member remarked it was nice they had a club for everyone in Chattanooga, or some such.   The club president Mr Lupton changed the name to  Lookout Mountain.

John,

Thanks for this.  One of the assistant pros at Lookout gave us--Dr. Gray and I--a poster of the original plan.  It was pretty fun comparing it to some of the drawings in the Men's Grille.

Man what a cool place, and what a great experience.

(http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/ff114/seanrobertarble/ST%20ENODOC/30March2009046.jpg?t=1268120444)

I would say it is likely that #s 1, 8, 10, 11, 12 &18 are not Braid holes.  With the exception of #10, the only original 19th century hole remaining, I think Braid inherited the others from the combo of Fowler(1923) and Simpson (1933).

To complement the Prestwick Plans I have enclosed a 1905 layout plan from "The Golfer's Yearbook 1905", edited by John L. Low.

Regarding continental European golf courses I have enclosed a layout plan by J.H.Taylor / Hawtree of Pallanza GC (NLE) on the shores of Lake Maggiore in Northern Italy. The course was built in 1928 and by the mid 1930's it was allready defunct. Nevertheless a nice and colourful layout plan.

Also I have enclosed a Bernhard von Limburger Layout plan for Munich GC at Strasslach from 1962 as well as one of his typical green drawings (here Green No.3 at Garlstedter Heide - Bremen Club zur Vahr).

Finally a layout plan of Colt/Morrison's Hamburg-Falkenstein dating 1935.

Those are very interesting drawings. In Bob Cosby's essay he was very critical of JH Taylor because of his dislike of central hazards. Based on you drawing he must have gotten over that dislike later in his career. The von Limburger drawing reminds me a little bit of Simpson.

Post by: Christoph Meister on March 17, 2010, 07:02:54 AM
Tom,

The terrain at Pallanza is a completely flat and rather treeless one (& used today as a camping ground) this most probably explains the high number of bunkers in Taylor's/Hawtree layout plans. The course had some nice views onto the lake and rivers surrounding the golf course as it is in midst of a river delta.

I was also thinking about von Limburgers Green sketch yesterday while scanning it and I thougt that it reminded me of some 1926 sketches made by Colt...than I had a look at some Tom Simpson sketches and also thought the same way you did.

And of course von Limburger modeled himself on Colt, Morrison, Simpson and George Thomas when starting his career as a golf course architect during the second half of the 1920s - there is strong evidence in the archives!

Ron,

I love this one, thanks for posting it!

Most people can take the time to sit at a drawing board or computer and produce half decent drawings or plans, but the ability to sketch on site is in this computer age, a dying art I feel? As an architect of buildings rather than courses, I've had to sketch plans or details on unfinished walls, bits of timber, scraps of paper and the obligatory napkin, while on site, to get my ideas across. Good to see that its a skill that GCAs need also.

Cheers,

James

Melvyn Morrow sent me a series of additional drawings.  Rather than try to paraphrase the information in Melvyn's email, I have reprinted the substance of it below, although I will break it down into multiple replies since the attachments are too large for a single post:

Quote
Hi Ed

Thanks for the e-mail details. As I said I have a few sketches (more still filed away) from books, like The Golf Guide and others that have some sketch designs of golf course in GB & I. When I have time or come across more of them I will forward the drawings to you.

The list includes the following courses

Royal Aberdeen Golf Course – Moved to Balgownie Links in 1888 (book 1897)
Blairgowrie Gold Course at Lansdowne Estate  from 1889 (book 1895
Bournemouth Park Course (Book 1896)
Crawford Golf Course (book 1896)
Cumbrae Golf Course 1887 (book 1896)
Dunfermline Golf Course at Ferryhills 1894 (newspaper 1894)
King Edward Bay Golf Course at Howstrake Isle of Man 1893 (book 1896)
Kettering Golf Course 1891 (book 1895)
Lanark Golf Course  (book 1897)
Machrie Golf Course on Islay 1891 (book 1896)

(highlighted in red is closed)  
 
Some of the course are now closed i.e. Crawford; Killern; Uisguintuie, plus one or two of the others have also moved to new courses. I also enclose Lanark again being from The Golfers Guide rather than a newspaper and I attached a low resolution copy of Muirfield but it will still blows up to show Hall Blyth signature from December 1891.

Kind regards

Melvyn

Thanks to Melvyn for his contributions!  I may need some help with the index on these.

The Cruden bay sketch is the initial one pre the requirement of St Olaf course which required a re design. There are reports that the course was built prior due to the changes but they are rather sketchy.
 
Some of the course are now closed i.e. Crawford; Killern; Uisguintuie, plus one or two of the others have also moved to new courses. I also enclose Lanark again being from The Golfers Guide rather than a newspaper and I attached a low resolution copy of Muirfield but it will still blows up to show Hall Blyth signature from December 1891.


Thanks Melvyn!

Just to add some levity to the thread - Here is a picture of a some routing work I did at a site in SD.  The wind was blowing so hard I gave up using the topo map.

Right Brain-Left Brain  - No Brain

Ron,

I love this one, thanks for posting it!

Most people can take the time to sit at a drawing board or computer and produce half decent drawings or plans, but the ability to sketch on site is in this computer age, a dying art I feel? As an architect of buildings rather than courses, I've had to sketch plans or details on unfinished walls, bits of timber, scraps of paper and the obligatory napkin, while on site, to get my ideas across. Good to see that its a skill that GCAs need also.

Cheers,

James

Agreed! Just very cool!

A couple of early ones from Pete Dye at Crooked Stick Golf Club, Carmel, Ind...

First is his original drawing for a par-71course (dated late 1963 or early 1964), which he used to solicit members (and funds) before ground was broken. Neither Pete nor Alice can recall who did this rendering.

Pete's name for the course at that time: "Muir of Golf" -- mimicking the name of James Braid's circa 1875 layout "Muir of Ord" (gold) northwest of Inverness in the Scottish Highlands. The course Pete and Alice eventually construct bears no resemblance to the drawing of the "never built" Muir of Golf...
(http://i967.photobucket.com/albums/ae155/5smokey/1-1-1.png)

Next, the real Crooked Stick (par-72),  in a drawing completed shortly after construction and seeding of the back nine (dated November 18, 1965). Due to a lack of funds (from slow real estate sales) construction of the front nine becomes delayed until spring of '66 and seeding is completed that fall. The entire 18 hole Crooked Stick Golf Club opens for play in late spring 1967. Again, the artist is unknown...

Dobb's Ferry Links.

For the record (that is, for the index at the top of this thread) the layout posted earlier and labeled 'Dobbs Ferry Links"  is for the original 9 holes of what is now known as the Ardsley Country Club (or actually at the time 'The Ardsley Casino and Club").  This 9 was laid out by Willie Dunn.  He immediately laid out a second 9 the next year on ground just above the top of this picture (that is east of Broadway, the picture is oriented with East on top and Hudson River on the bottom).  This next 9 holes started with the new 8th hole and ran thru the new 16th.   What is shown on this routing as 8 and 9 became 17 and 18.

I am almost certain that Joe's original post is correct and the typo is in the name on the photo.  That routing is clearly of the Upper course, which hosted the 1936 US Open.

Ardsley CC 1915 (further to Joe Bausch's earlier post and my comment above).  Here is a routing for Ardsley from The Evening Telegram March 16, 1915.  This reflects a number of changes made by Willie Tucker to the original Willie Dunn routing.  Just to confuse things this particular routing is laid out with South at the top; the one Joe posted had East at the top.

Ed,thanks for taking the time to teach me how to post images!  I think I am finally getting the hang of it!

(also, just to clarify re post 126 and 142: they both should really be indexed under Ardsley.  There never was a 'Dobbs Ferry Links' (that is, other than on the caption on that newspaper clipping).  In 1895 those 9 holes were built as part of the "Ardsley Casino and Club', the property for which was located in the towns of Dobbs Ferry and Irvington. Just after the turn of the century the club's name was officially changed from 'Ardsley Casino and Club' to the 'Ardsley Country Club'.  But no such entity as 'Dobbs Ferry Links' ever existed.)

Those are very interesting drawings. In Bob Cosby's essay he was very critical of JH Taylor because of his dislike of central hazards. Based on you drawing he must have gotten over that dislike later in his career. The von Limburger drawing reminds me a little bit of Simpson.


Hawtree fils wrote a piece saying once his father and Taylor hooked up it wasn't the famous name designing the courses!

Tom, they are all from 'The Evening Telegram - New York' a daily paper that was published between the 1860s and the 1920s (I think it was later merged with the New York World and continued operating for a while).  They ran a series called 'Where New York Plays Golf' that ran between January and April of 1915.  They profiled 20 or so courses. I haven't found a rationale for the series other than the obvious one of these were the courses that were in existence in 1915?  I was hoping to find that they continued the series past 1915 (we were particularly hoping for a contemporaneous layout in 1920 or 1921 for Ardsley) but this is apparently a one-off series (not absolutely confirmed).  Maybe the war got in the way?

The image that Tom Macwood has posted is not his and it is owned by Pine Valley (and a few private others) and should not be posted here.  I am not sure where he has got it from but it should not be posted on here without the permission of those that have ownership of the image.

Is that the same location as today's GCGC?   Did this become Emmett's Island Golf Links?

It sure looks like the area around today's 1st , 2nd, and 18th holes.

So, our boy Findlay taught Emmett and Travis everything they knew?  ;)

Not as ancient as some of the others on here, but I like them as they are hand drawn and they are of my home course GC de Haar (9 holes) in Holland, designed in 1974 by Frank Pennink. (Most of the greens were considerably changed in the early '90's).

By the way, I should mention regarding the original Travis diagram of Scranton GC (Post #204) that from the high clubhouse that is not shown but sits in the open space at the bottom of that diagram and looks straight west (over the course to the top of the diagram) offers some of the broadest and most magnificent sunsets I have ever seen on an inland site. And now that a number of trees have been removed it is even better!

By the way, I was speaking with Phil Young and Joe Bausch about this the other day but can you imagine how some of those diagrams and drawings particularly the very old ones got into the newspapers if they were from the clubs etc? If they weren't it would seem someone from the newspaper must have drawn them.

Is there anyone on here who knows much about the history of newspaper and magazine printing processes about a century ago and back?
Title: Re: A Compilation of Routing Maps, Plans and Architectural Drawings
Post by: Niall C on April 24, 2010, 08:25:17 AM
Tom

I'm no expert but I have now seen enough old newspaper copy to last a life time. Round about the turn of the century most of the regional papers at least didn't have the technology to include photos, so they would include a sketch of the photo if that makes sense. The reason I know this is that they would often state that the sketch was from a photo. In this regard I have also seen course layouts, which are clearly a skecth of a plan like the ones Joe posts and the ones Ed kindly posted for me. Again on occasion I have seen newspaper crediting the person who prepared the plan from which the sketch was taken from.

So I'm guessing that the newspaper had inhouse sketch artists who would quickly knock up a representation of a plan or photo or whatever was required.

The question is how did the plans come about in the first place, were they plans prepared pre-construction or done after the event ? I've no doubt that there would be a bit of both but strongly suspect that in most cases it would be the latter, the plans were made after the course was built which is why you have to be very careful crediting some unknown on the basis of his name being on the bottom of a plan, particularly if that person happened to be a surveyor or engineer, the type of person who would be commisioned to prepare a plan. Again, I say that because I have seen reference to plans being prepared after the event.

The next question is why were the plans prepared in the first place and the answer to that I think is to satisfy peoples interest and as a crude form of advertising.

Post by: BCrosby on April 24, 2010, 10:17:28 AM
Niall -

Most of the early stick drawings I've seen were prepared after the fact, usually by the club for its own, internal club bulletins or annual reports. Those schematic drawings were then copied for use in newspaper articles. (I can't imagine a newspaperman spending the time to do his own drawings from scratch.) There are no doubt exceptions, but I'd guess that was the usual procedure. In many cases they were, literally, the only drawings done of the course over those early years.  

I'd also guess that many of the early stick drawings were not very accurate. Bunkers aren't shown, hole lengths are out of wack, etc. But that wasn't the point. They were done simply to give an overall sense of the routing of the course. They were not intended as construction drawings or as drawings submitted as part of a bid for a commission.

They are fascinating nonetheless.

For the archive, here is the full 18 at Ardsley from 1897.  This adds to posts 126, 142, and 173.  The 9 shown in post 126 are the same holes as 1-7 and then 8=17 and 9=18.

and for added measure here is a picture of Willie Dunn laying out the second nine.  We're not certain but think he is standing somewhere along the 16th hole (before the hole was finished of course) in the above layout.

The development plan for Fairyland Golf Club is shown below.    Raynor's plan is shown fairly accurately on this figure.  Clubhouse is shown in a different location than Raynor's plan.  Clubhouse was actually built along planned fairway for 17th hole, a par 5.  This hole became a par 4 and with new clubhouse, the hole planned to be the 17th became the first hole.  

They were to build a lodge for the golf club,  the Crest Lodge.    The Fairyland Inn (now Fairyland Club) had been built by the time of course construction.  The Crest Lodge was never built.   The name is pronounced  'Fair-land' Club despite the many fairy like street names in the neighborhood.   The story is that when Mr. Jack Lupton visited a club up north, he wore a golf shirt with the club name.   Someone remarked about,  oh you have a club by that name or something like that.   Being club president,  the course name was soon changed to Lookout Mountain Golf Club.

Something to read re your map of Dornoch circa 1906, Looks like the map may be the extension discussed in the article although they may have stretched it from 5960 to over 6,000yards.

I'm told I missed the fact that in that pic, 1 and 2 are both 250-yard holes (I couldn't read the yardages when I had a crack at the above). Which reminds me that as we played 1 in May that Rich pointed out the old 2nd tee over by the fence short of the 1st green.

Ed, that routing is a lot different than what was actually built and exists today.

Examples:  #6 and #13 both appear to be par 3s.  #8 is almost straight versus the dogleg around/over the dune today.

The 18th tee is in the ocean!

Scott: I believe your assessment is correct - although we never played the Struie so I cannot vouch for those holes.  Maybe next time.  I did not pick up on the fact previously that 6 played to the current #11 green vs. the current green.

The original #2 was indeed 255 yards.  I certainly would not have wanted to be putting on #1 green while someone was driving off #2 with a early 1900's era driver!  Thinking about that hole, with the severity of the green complex, as designed for a risk-reward tee shot or a 200 yard shot and a pitch adds even more to the hole in my mind.  But for practical reasons the conversion to a par 3 was probably the correct move, and still one of my favorite holes in Scotland.

I regret that I did not take the opportunity to walk over to the old tee and hit a shot or two when I was there.

Joe:

This is one helluva thread and has already ended up being a great resource but at this point with your recent inclusion of that Myopia Evening Telegram drawing of Myopia, I think a real distinction needs to be made on this thread that indicates to everyone just how different most all actual architectural drawings done by architects are compared to drawings of a golf course probably done by some employee of a newspaper, as that one of Myopia in 1901 appears to be. It's not much more than a stick routing and it's primary purpose may've been nothing more than to show the spectators what hole they were on if they went to see the 1901 US Open.

But Herbert Leeds put on one helluva show for the spectators and players but unfortunately the guy was such an outright elitist martinet he would not let the pros come near the clubhouse. They had to change in a tent and it was either this Open or the one in 1898 where some of the pros were so mad about the treatment they got at Myopia the next year, I think out in Chicago, some told the USGA if they couldn't do better than that they were not willing to play in their US Open.

Noitce the area marked "Canal".  Richard Hyde's boat got washed inland during a storm so he had some men dig a channel back to the water.

Bill, I have often dreamed of what 18 would play like if that tee on 18 had been built. I mentioned it to my host today at Cypress. By the by was 15 feet from the pin on 16 with a driver into a 3 club wind. The clubhouse as well as the holes you mentioned are different. But this is an incredible thread. I am enjoying reading it.

All of them on the last page should certainly show.  Some I posted many pages ago using this site's hosting service are no longer displaying.  But I know they have been uploaded, just that in the upload process they get corrupted.  I can download any of those and rehab it thru a rehab program and the jpeg is still there.

The above drawing of Shawnee was done in 1914-15 and is the first a number of course revisions and lengthenings done over the years. This is the original course routing from the advertising booklet composed and drawn by Tilly in 1911 before the course and Inn opened:

Joe - Thanks for re-posting the map.  Now, if we can only get back to some of the features from 100 years ago.  Routing is exact same but we have covered up the creek on too many holes (1,10, 14).  The most intersting thing is that Hole #2 is actually only 402 yards today.  Ross spoke about #2 as a great golf hole at the time (and still is).

Pat, the images which no longer appear are those that were posted using gca.com's server rather than via an external hosting website like photbucket, flickr, etc.  The lost images disappeared about a year ago.  This is an issue not only on this thread, but also on every other thread where photos were posted using the website's server.  As for the Westhampton diagrams, they originally came from Tom MacWood.  I assume he still has them.  Perhaps he can repost them or send to me and I will do so for him.

Ed Oden,

Tom MacWood was kind enough to supply me with the schematic for Westhampton.

I don't know how to post those things on GCA.com, so perhaps he can post it on this thread.

This thread should be incorporated into one of the other categories such that it can be accessed for the routing maps, plans and drawings.

Thanks for starting a very informative thread.

Pat and Tom and others (including moi for those jgp's in this thread from me no longer displaying!):

Use tinypic.com to host your jpgs.  It is free and I don't think it even requires an account!

Edit:  obviously tinypic stopped working for me!

Ed,

Not to interfere with your plans for GCGC, but Pat is delusional that I got the Colt plan from him.   ::)  I got it from someone else, who shall remain nameless.  It was also posted by Mike Cirba in post 1435 on the Pine Valley and Topos thread.  I didn't get it from Mike.  Feel free to take my name off the credit, but putting Pat's there is a joke.  You can, of course, use the thread name.  

I see Pat has amended his complaint post, but before doing so, he originally claimed credit for giving me one version of the "stick routing topo", not the Colt plan.  For the record, he did give me one version of the "stick routing topo".  For the record, he did NOT give me the Colt PV plan.

When I viewed the schematic/map on my Iphone, I mixed it up with the stick routing which I supplied to Bryan.

Mark,

I have two questions for you.  The Jimmie Austin routing, did you put the original routing overlay on that or is that on display at the course?  I'm curious because I have a photo of the original routing that they had hanging in the proshop when I visited there several years ago. 

Also, on the Southern Hills routings, did you notice how the 7th looked much more like a slight dogleg originally and is now much more straight away?  That green used to be further to the left and had a swale short of it.  I think they moved the green due to drainage issues at some point, but I have not been able to pinpoint when. 

Oh, one more, do you know what changes Heckenkamper made at Twin Hills?  Other than 14 and 15, that course really didn't need much work in my opinion.

I have a few routing maps that are bigger than A4 and therefore too big to scan on my very basic system. I would happily post these to someone who has the facility to post them on this thread. These include Hirono (colour and black and white), Frilford Heath, Biella Le Bettule and Bath (Colt). If I look through my files I'm sure I can locate many more. I also have some lovely old black and white pictures of Hirono at about A4 size if someone has the facility to post them on GCA at a decent resolution. E-mail or IM me.

Chris, it is on display at the golf course.

Also, on the Southern Hills routings, did you notice how the 7th looked much more like a slight dogleg originally and is now much more straight away?  That green used to be further to the left and had a swale short of it.  I think they moved the green due to drainage issues at some point, but I have not been able to pinpoint when. 

I thought I recalled reading that the green was once closer to the creek that runs down the right side of the hole.  I didn't know that the green was once left of its current location, though it does look that way based on the two pictures.  So the 7th green has been moved twice?

Oh, one more, do you know what changes Heckenkamper made at Twin Hills?  Other than 14 and 15, that course really didn't need much work in my opinion. 

I don't know specifically, but there were 72 changes listed -- no idea how significant (or not) they are.

That interesting newspaper article and aerial photo really brings back some old memories for me. My father held the course record on that course for years (which he set in the Ormond Beach Championship) and I remember so well JDR's house (which is out of view). It was a very odd, incredibly long and low house that stretched way down the little road that ran south beside the Inland Waterway to Daytona.

Joe,

I was a bit confused with the Hoylake layout for a while; I thought the newspaper had come up with their own layout. ;) The left half portion of the page should be moved right of the right half. The back nine is closest to the Irish Sea.

Ed,

I think this is a wonderfully valuable thread.

Is there any way it can be preserved in one of the other GCA sections, like "Art & Architecture, so that it's easier to access, instead of going back and trying to find it in old discussion group threads ?

Pat, I suppose that is a question for Ran.  However, you can bookmark this thread on your browser for easy access in the future regardless of whether Ran links it elsewhere on the site.

I haven't had as much time to keep up with the DG as I used to.  I'm sure I miss things that are posted on threads from time to time.  So if anyone spots anything that would be appropriate for this thread, please post it here or send me a message of where I can find it so that I can do so myself.  Thanks in advance!

I never noticed before but it appears that this drawing does not accurately depict 18 and 9.  I have always found 18 a bit awkward and I believe that Bobby Weed has submitted some potential changes for 18 to the club.

Very interesting!

Nice work there.

The Laramie course is noted as a Harry Collis course from 1924.  Mr. Jemsek of Cog Hill fame began his golf career caddying at Laramie.

I'm guessing that the land that the course sat on was (a) either located just south of the current boundary of the airport or (b) consumed by the airport at some point during one of its expansions.

Laramie, later called Chicago Meadows, is under the northwest quarter of Midway Airport. It lasted until the railroad line that once bisected the property, and confined the airport to the southeast quarter, was rerouted. Fifteen holes opened 6/14/1924, the other three later in the year; private 1924-26; public beginning 1927; remained Chicago Meadows 1930; closed 1934.

Mark,

   Yeah #10 at Key West was an island green (which also housed 11 tee).  I recall reading Daniel Wexler's Missing Links a few years back where he profiled Key West.  He describes the 10th as a 90 degree dogleg par four to an island green situated about 25 yards out into the Gulf of Mexico.  However, he also writes that the island was really more of a mangrove clump destined to disintegrate over time (I think the 1926 hurricane just destroyed it quicker)

Your 11th is very similar to the hole Jeff Blume has on his Taxas A&M Course.  Very nice, but be careful, some on here will debate the merits of such options and question the cost of building such.

I played Alwoodley in July 2005 with my wife, en route to St Andrews for the Open.  After a very pleasant match with club historian Nick Leefe and his wife, we had lunch on the terrace.  Nick suddenly jumped up and went out to the car park.  A couple of minutes later he returned with the ORIGINAL of this drawing of Alwoodley by Mackenzie, with his handwritten notes and all.  I remember thinking, wow, I hope he doesn't have an accident and destroy that prize!

Ed Oden,

You've got to get this thread memorialized in one of other categories, such as "In My Opinion", it's too valuable to let slide into obscurity in the "Discussion Group" category.

Thanks Pat.  I passed your request along to Ran.  I'm not sure I can do anything more than that.

Buffalonians were exceptionally proud of their new Meadow Links golf course when it was rebuilt in 1916. The addition of the new 9 holes prompted one reporter to proclaim that it now was "the rival of Baltusrol and Garden City".

Travis course map for 27 holes at Yahnundasis Golf Club.  There was to be an 18-hole championship course and a 9-hole executive course.  Initially, 11 holes were built from the Travis plan, and combined with holes from a previous course.  In 1931, the Travis layout was completed.  The land intended for the 9-hole course was used for a practice range.

In response to several of the routing maps I posted yesterday, Phil Young reached out to me with some additional information, more maps and a great deal of clarification.  

The first item he passed along is the original routing map for the Presidio:

Here is the Locke routing posted above as contained in the January 1918 SF Examiner.  Per Phil Young: "Although Locke drew that for the newspaper, the routing of the course, was done by a committee of three SFGC members. It was laid out by them and constructed under their control. Locke was hired as the Club's professional in August 1917 and was given the responsibility of bunkering the back nine. That is all he did."

Further, from Phil:

"In your post #555, you show the drawing that for redesigning the members course. The problem is that this course wasn't built and, in fact, isn't the actual plan that was drawn and designed by Tillinghast and that the club's members approved the last week of 1920. The difference between tis drawing and the original Tillinghast drawing is that this one, found in the April 1923 brochure put out by the Spring Valley Water Co. has the nines numbered backward. The original Tillinghast plan called for these nines to be reversed. The reason why this drawing has that mistake is because the Water Co. only had the drawing of the course that hadn't been built. They received a full set of original construction drawings when Punnet & Parez, the engineers who drew the plans, gave them to them. They did this because, at that time, it was still their property and they arranged for P&P to do the surveying of the property creating elevation drawings upon which Tillinghast could use to design the course. When they did the 1923 booklet, they changed the hole numbers on both nines as that reflected how the existing new members-redesigned course was being played."

And with respect to the design of the current course:

"After the plan was approved, construction began in earnest in mid-February 1920. In March it was halted because the Water Co. now insisted that SFGC, which to this point was leasing the land, buy it. It would take until the beginning of 1922 for this to take place. At that time, Roger Lapham, who had brought Tilly out for the original design, was on the East coast overseeing the planning and running of that year's U.S. Open. While he was gone, a group of strong-minded and influential members convinced the Board to let them redesign the course and build it as this would save a great deal of money that they didn't have at the moment. After this redesign failed, Tillinghast was brought back out in March 1924. It was at that time that the current course was designed and built. It opened for play at the beginning of 1925."

The history of evolution of SFGC is covered in a Tillinghast Illustrated piece from the Tillinghast Association that can be found here:  

http://www.tillinghast.net/Tillinghast/Tillinghast_Illustrated_files/TIfor%20web.pdf

As Phil noted, all of this is covered in great detail in the soon to be printed San Francisco Golf Club club history that he has just finished.

This map had been posted earlier on this thread by John Foley. I'm reposting it as a couple of the holes were lost to a reflection on the glass.
This version came from architect Barry Jordan's website, where you can also find a couple of old photos of Teugaga and some photos of their restoration work ( I imagine DR. Klein had a hand in it as he's listed as part of their team, focusing on "historical analysis for existing courses, and creative collaboration and analysis on new designs." )

Mark Chalfant recently toured the course and thought it was fantastic.

Responding to Mark Saltzman's post on Nov. 4th regarding the Stafford CC routing:  The nines are reversed from Travis's original drawing (which is true of several of his courses); as you point out, the current 18th green was moved in the late '50s or early 60s (much to the consternation of many current members); the current par-3 8th hole was a 278 yard par 4 originally; and, the original map shows the current par-3 4th hole tee box behind the 14th green rather than to the left of the 14th green as it currently exists (I suspect they discovered that there was not sufficient room to put the tee behind the 14th green).

Adding in the Colt plans for Bloomfield Hills provided by Phil Young.

"I've attached a photo of the 1924 plan hanging in the 2nd floor hallway of the clubhouse. It was used by a sprinkler company to verlay a design for an automatic sprinkler system. What no one realized is that it was actually a copy of the Colt design drawing."

I wonder why there were so many road crossings on some of these early 20th century courses? - there was more raw land available 110 years ago.

I think the answer may lie in golf's earlier life in the U.K.

This course up in Norman Rockwell land remains on the same piece of property although the routing has changed. For instance, #11 on the map is today's #1, now a dogleg left. The 18th green is in a similar location, but the tee is next to the old #1 green. That site is now the 17th green. There are some others as well.

That, and I'd guess lots of the roads were dirt with a low car count.

Jim,

Because golf was in it's infancy, I don't think that roads were viewed as an impediment or negative.
I think that they were just accepted.

Look at some of the early courses like NLGA, Shinnecock, Westhampton, Southampton and GCGC, they all had roads going through them.
Title: Re: A Compilation of Routing Maps, Plans and Architectural Drawings
Post by: Jim_Kennedy on February 17, 2014, 02:50:15 PM
As Mike Cirba reminded me in an email:

"During the earliest years of golf in the US, roadways were treated as hazards under the rules of golf.
When Richard Francis wrote in 1950 that they thought the road (Ardmore Avenue) would make a good hazard, he was being quite literal."


Seems like a good point to add.

A couple more, w/roads.  :)

Jim -

It's striking how often roads and race tracks were used as cross hazards on courses circa 1900.

Bob
Title: Re: A Compilation of Routing Maps, Plans and Architectural Drawings
Post by: Jim_Kennedy on February 27, 2014, 11:36:45 AM
Bob,

It truly is.

We talked about it a bit a couple of pages back and Pat Mucci thought the answer may lie in golf's earlier life in the U.K. and that roads weren't viewed as a negative when golf was in its infancy here. Mike Cirba wrote to say that roads were hazards back then and it was thought by some that they made good ones. I was wondering why, when so much land was available, clubs used parcels that were criss-crossed by roads.

Now I tend to believe that a combination of the above is the reason, and that clubs just used what land was easily and cheaply available to them, with a few dirt road hazards thrown in for free.

This lay-out appeared in The San Francisco Call -  Dec. 22 1895. No name was given for the soon-to-be course, but its location, west of the Presidio, would put it in the area of Lincoln Park? Perhaps an early rendering of what was to be SFGC.

Jim:

I'm guessing that's the original SFGC, which became Presidio GC.  The name of the artist of the sketch, J. Hardy, is very close to the name of one of the guys who laid out the course, J. Harvey.

The reference to west of the Presidio probably just means that it was west of the location of the barracks and other base buildings, which could mean it was still within the bounds of what we consider the Presidio today.  I don't know enough about San Francisco history to know what that land was used for back then, or if it was considered part of the base or not.

New Orleans, 1900 - this is the course that became City Park GC o/k/a New Orleans GC.  The 1900 date for the map, if correct, suggests the course predates the 1902 date noted in New Orleans' history of its parks (note the designation of existing and new holes).

The Chevy Chase Club, Chevy Chase, MD. This is from a history of the club through 1957 that I found at a used bookstore. (I did not take it home with me, as there were only about 10 pages on golf and I haven't played the course.)

The course's original 9 holes are diagrammed very faintly with white dotted lines on the east (bottom) half of the property. The original 18 hole course is diagrammed with the darker lines and hole numbers. Finally, the 1922 Colt/Alison course, as it appeared in 1957, is portrayed in the background with green numbers.

(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-M2kmCSC4wwc/VEXMHecZbZI/AAAAAAAAJOc/917Vi_UJQng/s800/IMG_1911.jpg)

If anyone is interested in clarification on the routing of the original 9, I am happy to provide it.

This is the original George O'Neil routing, about a decade before Ross came by. You can still see vestiges of the green pad for the original par 3 second behind the current second tee. Some of the land Ross used was unavailable to O'Neil, slated for housing that was never built.

Tim:

I'm pretty sure that the map shows a preliminary routing, and with respect to the front nine differs in some ways from what was actually built.  An article that appeared a month later in Golfers Magazine noted such, and another article from October of the same year has a description of the nine holes on the north end of the property that doesn't exactly match up with the map.  That being said, that description does have the 2nd hole as a par 3, which jives with what you said about the old green pad.

Based on my research for the Beverly book, including info from club documents, this was what was built. Six and seven are today's seventh hole (albeit now shortened by 87th Street), eight and nine follow the same basic line. But the original 3-4-5-6 were remodeled/replaced by the current 2-3-4-5 under Ross' direction. Likewise the revamping of 11-12 and the last four holes on the back. We have property line maps that show O'Neil, Janes and Middleton (two members) couldn't go anywhere else.

Malone (New York) Golf Club from "A History of the Malone Golf Club" (1987 / 2003). This is the original 18-hole routing.

Hole Nos. 1-8, 16 and 17 on this routing are still in play on the current East Course and remain virtually untouched, sans significant tree growth and still play as the same hole numbers.

Hole No. 9 now plays as No. 18 on the current West Course; No. 11 as current No. 1; No. 12 as current No. 9 West; No. 13 is currently No. 10 West, No. 14 is now No. 17 West.

Old No. 10 is still pretty much in tact, but is only used as a practice hole. Old No. 18's green is still there and is used as a practice chipping / putting green, but the bunkers have been taken out. Old No. 15 green still exists and sits at the rear of the current golf range and is used for instructional purposes, however, I believe a fair amount of green space has been lost.

(https://s3.amazonaws.com/PGAmagAmbassador/mgcrouting.jpg)

And here's Malone's original routing (nine holes) at it's original location, slightly closer to the village where Franklin Academy now stands.

Here are a few routings from J. Peter Martin's "Adirondack Golf Courses...Past and Present." A number of the courses don't have architects listed in the book, so I will be looking into that to see if I can find any more information on them

Eagles Nest Country Club and Golf Course, Blue Mountain Lake, New York; Willie Dunn (1900) - defunct

(https://s3.amazonaws.com/PGAmagAmbassador/eaglesnest-adk-routing.jpg)

Lake Clear (New York) Inn Golf Course (1912) - defunct I'm not sure how accurate it is, but take a look at Nos. 7 and 8...that doesn't look too safe!

Tackawana Golf Course, Willsboro, New York (pre-dates 1927) - defunct

It is striking how many c/l or near c/l bunkers TB built later in his career. A clear shift away from Victorian cross bunkers. Very interesting.

I am informed by my kids that the technical term for "click on it - will go big" is now "embiggen". ;)

Nicholls did the original 9.  The course was extended to 18 holes around 1907 (April 1907 Golfers Magazine notes the work on the new 9).  Not sure by who.

It is interesting how often holes cross roads on these older routings.

I had thought, for example, that the holes at Merion originally designed to cross Ardmore Avenue were unusual. But it's likely no one would have thought so at the time.

Bendelow did River Crest in Ft Worth earlier than that.  Of interest is the fact that both places, his intent was to put the golf course in the front yard, across the street.  At some point later (and maybe earlier, depending on developer) the trend shifted to putting the golf course behind the houses.

I'd guess that the popularity and eventual preponderance of the automobile was the main reason for that change.

Lakewood CC from 1915 (Joe Bausch):
(http://xchem.villanova.edu/~bausch/images/misc/Lakewood_1915_EveningTelegram.jpg)

And after Travis laid hands on it, some 5 years later. No. 14 on the left side of the drawing looks like a bear, and the sharp dogleg right #17 (bottom of drawing) is reminiscent of the soon to be built 3rd hole AWT's Fresh Meadows CC.

We need more of these time lapse routing comparisons.  Perhaps it should be a separate thread, but the side by sides are fascinating.

Bendelow did River Crest in Ft Worth earlier than that.  Of interest is the fact that both places, his intent was to put the golf course in the front yard, across the street.  At some point later (and maybe earlier, depending on developer) the trend shifted to putting the golf course behind the houses.

Jeff,
I'd guess that the popularity and eventual preponderance of the automobile was the main reason for that change.

Jim, it may have deeper sociological roots than that, but certainly a lot of parked cars on the street with broken windows had something to do with it.  Many older houses had carriage houses, or garages at the back (maybe originally meant for horses)  Somewhere along the way, America went from sitting on the front porch and waving at the neighbors to wanting a more private space in the back yard.  Maybe the money savings of putting the garage at the front of the house, to avoid a long driveway and cars not necessitating they "hide" the garage/service area as it were contributed to the change.  Or maybe they wanted to show off their new cars, or wanted more area for the kids to play in safety away from the cars. 

Not sure exactly why, but in landscape architecture school, I recall discussing that big change a few times.

Jeff,

Infrastructure - a road course-side only serves one home. Creating golf corridors and backing the homes up to the course is at least a two-for-one proposition in homesites and at least half the cost for roadways/services/maintenance/etc..

There are a couple on Nassau CC maps but they no longer appear. This one looks like the "Steeplechase" variety of links, but the  long bunker   that spans six holes and the circus hole are pretty unique.  ;D

River Forest GC "course laid out by Major Webster".  From the Golfers Green Book Chicago 1901.  I chose this of the many layouts in the book because I'm a retired architect and the CH architect was Frank Lloyd Wright.  The membership list not only includes Wright, but reads almost as a list of his Chicago area clients.  I suggest anyone into early (pre 1901) Chicago golf take a look at this book.  It has the early (read first) layouts of many of the Chicago clubs.  The RR map is a short form to check if your club is on the list.  The book is available on line at the LOC.  The RFGC didn't last long, only until 1905 when the property owner, a Wright client, decide  to develop it.  However, the Wright Ch is still there today as the CH of the RF Tennis Club.

This routing map appeared in the Dec. 1903 edition of Golf Magazine.  It is of an actual course that was not identified, with the commentary that the straight lines and right angles were unusual, but probably presented a course worth playing over.

This link takes you to a plan that Alister MacKenzie drew for the Bristol and Clifton GC in the UK, but they never put it on the ground...
http://golfclubatlas.com/forum/index.php/topic,43932.0/
...or you can view the plan at reply #198, this thread.

Here's the layout from 1895, after the club added 9 new holes:

 
(https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8635/16039775319_ed3ea61fd3_o.jpg)

There is some speculation in the thread that 9 of today's holes are routed as Mac laid them out. The club turned to Henry Cotton & Co. in 1949 for their 'new' course - maybe he used some of Alister's plan.

There is also a label w/a 1905 date affixed to the Mac plan, but the style of the drawing led to the belief that it was an error and the plans  came from the '20s.

An early map of Stanmore GC in Middlesex, UK.

This is a turn of the century view, but the club says that Alister MacKenzie built them a new one in the early '20s. I did check the MacKenzie Timeline, but there's no mention of a Stanmore GC.

(http://langaragolfclub.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/image095-1024x409.png)Newspaper Article for 'Daily Province Public Links Golf Championship', 1939

“In the spring of 1924, the Canadian Pacific Railway Company commenced construction of the first eighteen hole public golf course in B.C. It was not until June 26, 1926 however that the official opening was held.” ( from Golf: Its history and Development in British Columbia by Hal Rhodes)

“Newton J. Kerr, town site Agent, Vancouver, advises that the Company’s Land Department is clearing 160 acres of land in South Vancouver lying between 51st and 59th Avenues and Ontario and Bridge Street. As the first step towards constructing a golf course, A. Vernon Macan, Golf Architect, who has laid out many courses on the Pacific coast, has been engaged to give the work general supervision. The ground slopes gently to the southeast, with a fall of 130 feet in the entire distance, is of a rolling character, intersected by two streams, and has a fine outlook over the Fraser River Delta and the Gulf of Georgia. The work will cost approximately $120,000 and it is expected that everything will be ready for use in the spring of 1926. The course will open to the public, with charges of $.50 for 18 holes, or monthly fee of $2.50, annual fee of $20.00.” (from Canadian Pacific Bulletin #192, 1925)”

Blue lines are Peachtree Creek on both maps
Yellow lines are Northside Drive on NW on Google map and plain old Northside Drive on the 1928 map
Black lines are Woodward Way NW on the Google map and Memorial Drive on the 1928 map

Another view of the first tee, along with brother Vardon getting ready to slap a long one on #9, after first taking the boat ride across the moat to tee off, then back across the moat to putt.

Sounds like fun! - and what a blast of a finish in the backyard of the castle.

Jim -

Thanks, Jim. I see where the course would have been. It is only a couple of hundred yards from our house in ATL, btw.

I think this is the same project that was re-named the next year as 'Colonial Golf Club'. Phil Young discovered Tilly's plans for a course having that name at the same site. There are articles in the AJC on the project from 1929. The course was never built due to the onset of the Great Depression. Much of the area was used for the Bobby Jones Golf Course, a municipal course built later in the 1930's. Parts of the tract, however, were not used for BJGC. I have been convinced for years that some of those areas, now used mostly for dog frisbie, were originally cut out as hole corridors for the Tilly course that was never built.   

Great find.

A generation before they were cracking Nazi code in Bletchley they were playing golf - by comparison, "Enigma" was probably a piece of cake.

The map was drawn sometime after 1906, the date given for the course, and 1914, the date that the draftsman, Maj. John Chadwick, lost his life in the "Great War" (there's an oxymoron for you).  ;)

Thanks Matt for posting the original layout of the Malone golf courses. The attributions of architect(s) for these courses (East and West have driven me nuts. The convoluted attributions on their website are a testament to ‘branding’: mention Donald Ross and Robert Trent Jones Sr. in the same breath with rather vague references to Albert Murray and Willard Wilkinson but then say the 36 hole layout is really RTJ Sr. But wait. Watch the ‘West Course’ video fly over and Albert Murray has 5 of his holes on the West course. Dazed and confused?

1.   Architects of Golf, 1992, attribute the original 9 holes to Wilkinson (I know, they may be wrong).

2.   Donald Ross. Where does he fit in? Nowhere, according the Donald Ross Society and personal communication with Brad Klein who said there is no evidence he is aware of Ross was ever in Malone.

3.   Enter Golf Digest, June 1987, just around the opening of the Malone West course. They say the East Course “is essentially Murray with a couple of Jones holes”. I know rather vague again but wider interest in the study of golf architecture was just gaining interest with a larger audience at the time.

4.   Enter Albert Murray (my grandfather, my bias acknowledged). Albert notes in his diary he renovated the original 9 and laid out 11 holes at Malone (East Course). Tragically, my grandmother threw out his architectural drawings when she moved a few years after he died (counselling for me helpful in this regard) so I have no more specific details but I do have a few construction photos of his time when he expanded the East Course to 18.

Then to top it off James R. Hansen in his, A Difficult Par: Robert Trent Jones Sr. and the Making of Modern Golf said Wilkinson laid out 18 holes in 1939.

Sorry for the incorrect placement of this. I have no idea how to reply to a specific post.

This routing map appeared in the Dec. 1903 edition of Golf Magazine.  It is of an actual course that was not identified, with the commentary that the straight lines and right angles were unusual, but probably presented a course worth playing over.

(http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc435/snilsen7/MysteryCourse-GolfMagazineDec1903_zps5e96070c.png)

Oconomowoc CC - Oconomowoc, Wisconsin - Layout by William Marshall and Alexander Smith. Pretty old, 1895/96.
Straight lines or not, it was 'worthy' enough for  Laurie Autcherlonie to stop by and grab the professional course record w/a 34.  :)

Malone (New York) Golf Club from "A History of the Malone Golf Club" (1987 / 2003). This is the original 18-hole routing.

Hole Nos. 1-8, 16 and 17 on this routing are still in play on the current East Course and remain virtually untouched, sans significant tree growth and still play as the same hole numbers.

Hole No. 9 now plays as No. 18 on the current West Course; No. 11 as current No. 1; No. 12 as current No. 9 West; No. 13 is currently No. 10 West, No. 14 is now No. 17 West.

Old No. 10 is still pretty much in tact, but is only used as a practice hole. Old No. 18's green is still there and is used as a practice chipping / putting green, but the bunkers have been taken out. Old No. 15 green still exists and sits at the rear of the current golf range and is used for instructional purposes, however, I believe a fair amount of green space has been lost.

(https://s3.amazonaws.com/PGAmagAmbassador/mgcrouting.jpg)

And here's Malone's original routing (nine holes) at it's original location, slightly closer to the village where Franklin Academy now stands.

I'm not the only one who is amazed at all the early golf courses that had road crossings. Eleven of the next fourteen courses have holes that require playing over roads. There are also two that play over racetracks, and one that plays over rail lines. All are from The Golfer's Green Book of 1901, and all drew their members from Chicago.

The above club is the leader in the clubhouse with 20 crossings. That's a lot of looking both ways, more like a tennis match that a game of golf.

As a Cincinnati native, Joe Bausch shared a July 7, 1895 The Cincinnati Enquirer article with me last month that he had stumbled upon during some of his research. The article included the below routing of the "Longworth Golf Links."

(https://s3.amazonaws.com/PGAmagAmbassador/longworth-1895.JPG)

While Longworth is a name synonymous with Cincinnati, I had never heard of a Longworth Golf Links and had to do a little more digging. Although the article didn't mention a specific location of the course, the routing did label an intersection: Cowards, which does not exist anymore, and Grandin, which, while long, is where the current Cincinnati Country Club is located.

Tom Cecil schooled me on some CCC history and mailed me a copy of the CCC history book and mentioned that Cincinnati Country Club merged with Cincinnati Golf Club around the turn of the century and that CGC at one time had only nine holes. By comparing the below 1897 routings and land features, one of which was an update from 1906, and by comparing the original CCC and CGC member rosters to the key stakeholders from the Enquirer article, I am fairly confident that the "Longworth Golf Links" was simply used as a placeholder by the writer (or the eventual club members) until the CGC was formally established.

The lower sketch shows the 'new' course in 1903.

In 1934 Lawson Little won The US Amateur at Brookline and The Amateur at Prestwick. In 1935 he won The US Amateur at Cleveland and
The Amateur at Royal Lytham & St.Annes.

A Golf Journal article labeled it "The Little Slam".
http://www.usgamuseum.com/about_museum/news_events/news_article.aspx?newsid=143

Quite a feat, but I wonder: Did they call it "The Little Slam" because of his name, or in comparison to Bobby Jones' "Grand Slam"? 

Works either way.  ;D

A few days ago I found a map of Merion when I was putting together something about Gene Sarazen. When I saw it I kept thinking why does it look so familiar  ???.
I was getting ready to post it just now and I checked the index of courses that Ed has listed on the first page of this thread. Lo and behold, there was the same basic photo posted by Joe Bausch, only his was from the 1930 Amateur and this is from the 1934 Open.

I think it's a worthwhile addition as the accompanying article describes some of the stiffening up of Merion for the Pros.

Here's Joe's from '30:

Jim,

Where did you come across the Mission Inn routing?  In 1941 aerials there are only 9 holes to be seen, but you can kind of see the corridors of a few of the other holes in the routing you posted.

In 1939 the Detroit GC put together a history of the first 40 years of their existence, and in it was this map of the course. The caption says the '39 course was the same as planned in '15, and a look at a modern aerial reveals it hasn't changed in 100 years!

Of course, fitting 36 holes into a 200 acre piece of property (a triangle completely surrounded by homesites) doesn't leave much room for big changes.

Very nice contributions. The detail in the NGLA drawing is really special, one of my favourites.

Would you by any chance hold the complete Golf Illustrated/Devereux Emmet article on Women's National?

I would love to read it if this is possible.

Devereux Emmet seems to have been the go-to guy when it came to building courses for women. The Westchester Women's G&TC was built in 1928, just a few years after the Glen Head course. By 1934 it became The Middle Patent Golf Club, and in 1947 the Westchester Golf and Tennis Holding Corporation sold the clubhouse (known as the ancient "Widow Brush" house) to Antoine Gilly, who used it for his famous La Cremaillere Restaurant.
(http://www.cremaillere.com/media/LaCremExterior.jpg)
Some of the course land was sold before WW2 and some of it was used to build new homes for returning servicemen after the war. Another part of it eventually became the Banksville GC, a par 3 layout. It closed in the late 1980s and the land was used for a housing development.

Interesting. They weren't very precious back then, were they -- using what they had and letting that necessity shape the result (like finding a place to fit in Fenway Park), routing courses around and in between roads and railways etc, with nary a complaint about not having a "great site" and instead just taking years to make a course better and (if it had a loyal membership) a club that thrived.

Noticed that there was a practice ground at Altadena in 1911, Maniac Hill was 1913(?) - any earlier than the one at Altadena, at least here in the US?

Watertown Golf Club (1927)-This layout looks very similar to the 1922 plans drawn for the golf course, viewable in Reply 635
(http://i1372.photobucket.com/albums/ag323/bretjlawrence/D5D57A72-54E4-488F-9BC7-B9CF0D834DE7_zpsvkcz1svh.jpg)



Watertown Golf Club (1929)-  The golf course was not built specifically to this layout. 11 & 12 were not built, but 15 and 16 were built to replace the old number 3 hole shown in the 1927 layout above.  Number 6 from 1922-1927 was also eliminated and number 5, which turned into 18 in 1929 was rerouted to a new green.  Holes 1,2,4,7,8 & 9 from 1927 remained  the same into the 1940's. On this layout, the same holes are numbered 13,14,17,8,9 & 10 respectively

An early map of Stanmore GC in Middlesex, UK.

This is a turn of the century view, but the club says that Alister MacKenzie built them a new one in the early '20s. I did check the MacKenzie Timeline, but there's no mention of a Stanmore GC.

Lee Patterson, Stanmore Golf Club Historian & Reader of London centric golf history at the British Library, wrote to say that Stanmore is on the Mackenzie timeline, and their AMac map of the modern course supersedes this Tom Dunn version. 

Thanks Lee, and I can only say that I saw no mention of Stanmore on the list when I checked it back in January. On the other hand, my wife is always finding things that I've looked for in the same places where I've already looked.  ;D

This is the layout of Stanmore today along with a short letter from AMac about costs, changes, etc..   


Lee said the club knows 2 Mac holes were lost near the southern boundary in the 1930's, and they haven't yet laid their hands on the original plans, but he's been scouring the British Library/other sources for them so they can arrive at a better understanding of what is AMac's work.

Are there still threats to shut it down?

I wonder if that routing pictured was ever used b/c if so, it would have been a brutal uphill downhill walk.  The current routing is far superior.

Regarding Candler Park, this is from the Georgia Trust regarding the architectural history;

THE STORY
 Coca-Cola founder Asa Candler donated 55 acres of land in northeast Atlanta to be used as a public park by the city in 1922. The land included a nine-hole golf course designed by landscape architect Helen Smith. Smith was hired by Candler to design the course for his daughter because women were prohibited from playing on the Druid Hills course that Candler frequented.

Post by: BCrosby on November 10, 2015, 12:25:37 PM
Thanks Mike. I had not seen that either.


I have heard that the little course is not played much. There has been talk (coming mostly from the neighborhood) that the land should be converted to a park. I do not know what stance the City of Atlanta will take on that. The operating agreements for their courses are up for re-negotiation. Stay tuned.

I came across another view:

The city offered a prize for the best design and the first layout was by Henry I. Jones and it was said that Vernon Macan might give it a go. The city was looking to have the course designed by a Portland architect, but the final plan was by H.Chandler Egan. The course may have also been known as West Hills. It was built on a county farm that once housed the poor.


The city also had a contest to name the course:

There was a plaster cast made of the property for the contestants to look at. Here's the topo:

Jim -


I would be curious to hear why you think golf journals and newspapers carried so many course routings in the the first decades of the 20th century. They appear rarely today.


I am tempted to say it has to do with the internet, but it can't be that simple.

Post by: Jim_Kennedy on November 13, 2015, 06:20:41 PM
Bob,


No TV, as Mike mentioned, but golf was becoming extremely popular and lots of folks were becoming interested. There are pages and pages describing the goings-on at numerous clubs, tons of reporting on the results of matches and tournaments, and new clubs were being introduced to the public through these print sources. What better way to do it than with drawings of holes, routing diagrams, clubhouses, etc..


What's really 'neat' is that many of them had to be drawn by staff artists, not just reproduced from originals.

Title: Re: A Compilation of Routing Maps, Plans and Architectural Drawings
Post by: BCrosby on November 13, 2015, 07:37:56 PM
I don't disagree with the above. But Jim hints at something else. The drawings are more than just communicating information about a golf course.


Maybe I'm over-thinking this, but there is a strong whiff of class braggadocio in these drawings. They signal to everyday newspaper readers that some of your friends in the area have invested a lot of money in land and built a golf course. It's a version of a society page that appears in the sports pages. It's a peek into what the local toffs are up to, not unlike a series of pictures of a fancy formal ball.


None of which is to suggest that I don't enjoy this long thread. I do enormously.


My point is only that that the proliferation of published course routings then and their absence now strikes me as as interesting in ways that aren't immediately obvious. These routings weren't published to satisfy a popular interest in golf architecture. They were were published for other reasons.

The article accompanying the drawing says this course in Lincoln Nebraska was only going to be temporary, so the greens were sand, but there is still an 18 hole course at the site.


The completed 27 holes at Pioneer:

Wow, thanks for this. I used to go to the park when I was little, and I worked and played here in college. I always knew that there had been a third nine at one time, but I have never actually seen the plans for it. The practice range now sits where the first and second holes on the auxiliary nine were.


Otherwise the 18 hole course more or less exists just as drawn here, although there are no bunkers on the course anywhere, and I don't believe there has ever been a pond near the 14th green as long as I've known.


I also thought that the nines were originally reversed.... but they've flipped the nines at least twice in the last 30 years. I seem to recall when I worked there that they switched them every 10 years or so to even out play.

There was an 1896 map of Shinnecock that was printed in a number of papers.  I've seen an 1895 map of Belmont Springs floating around.  The earliest might be from a June 18, 1895 The Sun article which has maps of Morris County, St. Andrew's, Baltusrol, Tuxedo and Lakewood (see post #78 in this thread, courtesy of Joe Bausch).

Benjamin Hall-Blyth's map of the New Course dates to 1894. I understand that there are drawings of Westward Ho! and perhaps Hoylake that date to the mid 1880's.


It is hard to know whether these older maps are pre- or post-construction. We know that Hall-Blyth's is pre-construction because it is the map submitted to parliament for the approval of the R&A's purchase of the golfing grounds of TOC and surrounding property.


Whether other early maps were meant to guide the construction of the course or reflected the course as-built is hard to sort.

It was actually that plan that I was thinking of when I posed the question. During the Scott Taylor saga I had suggested that the Road Hole sketch was outwith the time it purported to be from because it showed the fairway line which wasn't the done thing back then (IMO) and Mike C had posted the plan as a reposte of sorts. However if you look at the plan closely it differentiates between rough and fairway by using a symbol to represent long grass with the absence of any symbol for the short grass/fairway areas, and there is no actual line to represent the fairway boundary. I suspect that the plan also had a coloured wash to represent the different areas.


Bob


If I recall the BHB plan rightly it shows the course as one continuous stretch, hole after hole, rather than individual hole fairways. As you suggest the purpose likely was to show the extent of the playing area relative to the ownership boundaries. Not sure I've seen the Westward Ho and Hoylake plans but if they were in the Golfing Annuals/Handbooks of the time then I think they were just routing drawings but could be wrong.

Do you know where one might find a good digital copy of BHB's map of the New? The reproductions I've seen in books are not very good. The original is huge and I assume requires a special scanning machine.


Given the absence of clearly defined fairways on TOC at the time, I'm not sure why drawings of the New would show them.

I had a look in Scott MacPhersons book last night but the BHB plan he has is of all the courses. The plan you refer to (I think) hangs in the new Links clubhouse for the New/Jubilee courses, or at least it used to. Or perhaps its a copy of what's in the R&A clubhouse. If I ever get in there I'll let you know !


It might be worth getting in touch with Scott as he might be able to send what he's got.

Niall,

I don't recall the source of this 1888 drawing but came across it this morning looking up something else in my files.   

If nothing else I think it at least suggests that there were areas through the green that were specially prepared in contrast to the surrounding rough areas.   Crude Mowers?  Sheep?   Got me.

But it does differ from the common stick drawings in that regard, much like the later ones you mentioned from Royal St. George's.

My guess is that the Troon drawing is of the course as-built.


What are the earliest pre-construction drawings? I have always assumed that BHB's of the New was not the earliest. But maybe it is?

Many thanks for that. I think I have seen that before but not sure where, in the club history book perhaps ? As Bob says it looks like an as built drawing. While the plan says 1888 (the year the course became 18 holes), I'm not entirely convinced that it was produced then but was maybe a later plan showing how the course was back then. What is interesting is that it shows a continuous course rather than individual hole fairways which is similar to how I remember the BHB plan of the New course. As you say, I don't think they would be relying entirely on sheep for cutting the grass and I suspect that they were using horse drawn gang mowers about then.


Bob


I recall Tom Paul asked that very question on here but I'm not sure he got a satisfactory answer. Certainly there were routing plans produced, either side of the Atlantic, before BHB did his plan for the New course but the question is whether they were produced after or before the courses were built/laid out. Given how elementary a lot of construction was back then compared to now, how much use would a plan have been for building purposes ? What I mean by that is when were plans produced for construction purposes ? I know (or at least I think I do) that Old Tom and Archie Simpson did separate plans for Cruden Bay in the mid 1890's prior to construction but I think that was more for consideration by the railway company to decide which plan to go with.

Niall,

Thanks for your thoughts on the Troon map.   I wish I could recall where I came across it!   :-\

I found a few things of interest in trying to "date" it.   First, the key gives yardage from each green to the next by their hole names, not their numbers.   The course total is listed as "Total Lin Yds. 5856 or 3 miles 1 furlong 156 yards".   The map is also to a very precise scale.

The map also seems to have been functionally utilized as it indicates the "High Water Mark of Ordinary Spring Tides".   

Hope that helps.
Title: Re: A Compilation of Routing Maps, Plans and Architectural Drawings
Post by: Niall C on November 18, 2015, 11:15:27 AM

I strongly suspect it is based on an Ordnance Survey map hence the reference to the high water mark, and the shoreline and railway detail. The total linear yardage is interesting in that it refers to the distance in miles which was the custom back then. Not sure I can recall a contemporary reference to the distance of the course given in yards (speaking from memory, could easily be wrong) which does suggest to me that it was made sometime after 1888.


Without knowing where the plan came from its hard to say for definite.

It appears possible from what I've been able to learn that the Troon map in question appeared in "The Golfing Annual 1888-89 which on page 62 carries a 'Plan of Troon Links'.

This Annual was evidently published in the spring of 1889.   Does anyone have a copy of the Annual who can verify that the map is one and the same one as what I produced here earlier?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

That's my thought as well.   Looking at the Troon Map dated 1888 it clearly has a fold in the middle. 

While not dis-positive, it certainly seems highly possible that the map in question does go back to that time period.

Post by: Bret Lawrence on November 19, 2015, 11:44:41 AM
Jim and Mike,


The article does not show the detailed plan for Troon, however the writing does mention the plan on page 62:


"The links, as will be seen from the plan are 3 miles, 1 furlong, and 156 yards in length, the longest hole being 450 yards, and the shortest 197 yards."


Niall,


I think the biggest difference between the stick routings and detailed maps were the artists' drawing them.  There are stick routings for Royal St. George's from the 1920's that look like they were done by an 8th grader.  Then, there is the 1898 plan of Royal St. George's which looks like it was surveyed professionally.  I don't think it has as much to do with the time frame as it does with the person who was illustrating these plans.  If the clubs had the means to hire a professional surveyor, they were getting far more detail in their routing plans.


Bret



Title: Re: A Compilation of Routing Maps, Plans and Architectural Drawings
Post by: MCirba on November 19, 2015, 11:57:14 AM
Bret,

Thanks for your feedback and observations.  I've only had a moment to scan the link to the Annual that Jim provided.

From a private email shared with me recently I learned that;

Minute of Troon Golf Club 7th January 1888 states that, in reply to a request from a person at Kintyre Golf Club for a copy of a course plan, "no such plan existed".

Minute of Troon Golf Club 16th March 1889 mentions that "an offer from the editor of The Golfing Annual be accepted, to inset in the forthcoming annual a full sized plan of the links".

Given the dimensions in the written portion of the Annual match those on the map, I believe it is highly likely that the map in question was indeed produced in 1889, or even 1888.

To my knowledge, this would therefore be the first map I've seen where something akin to "fairways", or "prepared areas through the green" are specifically indicated.   

Have you seen anything earlier in this regard?

Thanks again!

It wasn't the stick routing plans I was referring to but plans showing fairways represented by a line round the borders.

I think you are right. If you look the plan is actually folder into sections which was how it was folded in the yearbook, or at least it is in the one I've seen. Clearly it didn't register with me before about the difference between fairways and rough, or indeed the course length in yards.

Jim,

Interesting how the original Jackson Park course played right through the "Tennis Lawn" and across the "Ball Field".   Do you think the other park visitors understood the cry of "Fore!"?  ;)

For years Philadelphia struggled in providing an area within Fairmount Park for a public golf course for much the same reason(s).   There was the fear that regular park visitors would be harmed by flying golf balls, or that golf would interrupt other more formalized games like baseball.

Then, a committee from the Golf Association of Philadelphia happened to note that the land around the relatively newly created park at Cobb's Creek might be ideal for the purpose, and since it was out at the edge of town and hardly used, voila!   

Next year will be 100 years of golf played at Cobb's Creek.

The article mentions a "disagreeable interruption" to the tennis players who may have to listen to the word "Fore", but it doesn't think the ball players will experience any problems.


So does anyone know whose routing is shown in the first set of plans for CC? - Vardon's?


The map is interesting, can you post it here?
Title: Re: A Compilation of Routing Maps, Plans and Architectural Drawings
Post by: MCirba on November 24, 2015, 02:05:04 PM
Jim,

There was a rumor that Vardon was going to design a public course for Philadelphia in Fairmount Park during his visit here in the spring of 1900.   

At around the same time a committee of amateurs of the Golf Association of Philadelphia selected a site in Fairmount Park near Belmont Mansion and laid out a 2,850 yard nine hole course and presented the map of same to Jesse T. Vogdes who was the Chief Engineer of the park.   While the matter was being determined within the city, this committee suggested that perhaps a professional could do a better job and suggested perhaps Tom Dunn, Willie's brother.

The men on the committee included, George Fowle, who did much design of the early Philly Country Club, Samuel Heebner, who did likewise for Philly Cricket, Rodman Griscom and C.S Farnum of Merion, and William P. Smith of Huntingdon Valley.   The Philadelphia Inquirer article from 1900 mentioning the men of this committee noted, "It was recognized that men experienced with the laying out and maintenance of club courses would be in an excellent position to have valuable ideas in regard to laying out a public course."  

We have their Committee report but don't have their map, unfortunately.   Their report notes; "We do not say that this is the best possible course that could be laid out upon the ground mentioned, but it would be a very good one.   Many changes that would improve the course might be made by a professional golfer devoting more study to this question on the ground."

This was all for naught as the course was never built due to some of the reasons I previously mentioned.

Cobb's Creek was not identified as a potential site for a public course until the early spring of 1913.   During that season, GAP appointed a Committee of Hugh Wilson, George Crump, Ab Smith, and William Slattery to locate a site for a public course within the parks system.   At first they again recommended a site near Belmont Mansion and the familiar objections were again raised.

At a meeting of the Fairmount Park Commission in June, 1913, the Committee had an alternative.   It was reported;

"The proposed golf course in Cobb's Creek Park is a tract of land in the northern end and is described by the Committee as an ideal site..."

It took another year or so for monies to be appropriated but while that was happening, GAP again named a committee to help the city design and build the golf course, with much of the design work happening in 1914, although the project wasn't officially announced as a "go" until the January 1915 GAP Annual Meeting, at which time the plans were made public, including the final approved routing.

The Committee named to design and build the course, again based on their individual prior experience in such matters at their own respective clubs included;

Hugh Wilson - Merion
George Crump and Dr. Simon Carr - Pine Valley
Ab Smith - Huntingdon Valley
Franklin Meehan - North Hills
George Klauder - Aronimink

The plan we located recently in city archives was identified as Plan #6 although it wasn't dated.   So far, we have only located this earlier one and the one that was approved that includes Jesse T. Vogdes signature citing approval dated in early 1915.

Here's Plan 6;

Found the 18 hole layout for Portland. Can't remember reading where a group of members
canned the plans an architect provided them and went about laying out a new course by themselves.

Jim:


Love your posts, but noted especially your Diddel drawings up today (Gladstone is wonderful).  He was the architect for the changes to Black River CC, the course I grew up on in Port Huron, Michigan.  He added six and revised 2 others in 1955 (constructed 1956).  My favorite complete Diddel course is also in Michigan: Forest Lake in Bloomfield that I have had many opportunities to play.  Designed in 1926 and revised by him later, it's a first class golden age course with three (of 4) great par-3s.  I could not find any of his drawings either of BR for my book and only recently saw my first actual blueprint of a green construction drawing of his, Kenwood CC.  I understand from Bill A and others that most of his production ended in a dumpster.  Unfortunately the dead for several of my searches.


Your posts typically show the source (thank you for that!), but not for all.  Specifically Pleasant Run says built by AW, but do you know if he designed it as well? or maybe Bill D, as Indianapolis and date might work. Are you a Diddel fan or only come at him from the drawing side?


Thanks. Tony

Never played a Diddel course, but you gotta love a guy who was able to spend his entire life creating solid golf courses, could shoot lower than his age when in his '80s, and was Pete Dye's mentor.  ;D [size=78%]   [/size]

Perseverance best describes Galveston Golf Club. They built a clubhouse that was washed away in a storm which also deposited 1 to 4 feet of sand (probably not too bad) over their grounds.
They built a 'hut'  to use as a temporary clubhouse and then proceeded to scratch out 5 holes for golf. A few years later they had a very nice clubhouse and a 9 hole course, all done with labor from within the club.
They didn't stop there. They relocated around 1918/19 and hired Donald Ross to build them an 18 hole course (NLE). The plan of that one was posted by Joe Bausch and can be found at reply #637. In 1946 another storm convinced them to relocate once again, no more Ross, but still going strong.

Awesome find regarding The CCD.  This is the earliest drawing I've seen of Alison's 1926 new course for the CCD.  I will try to overlay the 1948 aerial I have of the course and compare.


I also have a couple Wendell Miller promo letter's from the 20s.  I'll try to find and send to you separately. 


BTW, My screen doesn't get the entire drawing.  Is that just me or can someone tell me how to get it.

Wilmington Golf Club (NLE), built by Ralph Barton in 1928.  The photo is from a copy of the original plan, and both are in the collection at the Wilmington Historical Society, Wilmington Vermont.

Barton used David R. Bates to do the survey and draw this map: 

(https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5795/23075531983_edcd861015_o.jpg)

Julie Moore heads up the WHS and she also produced an article about the course that included descriptions of the holes:


(https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5736/23713336891_d69aa9cc2b_o.jpg)


The article mentions Barton at Greenfield CC, and who knew that he also designed Yale!  :o ::)

(https://farm1.staticflickr.com/741/23713352081_5e935fb2c8_o.jpg)



Sven Nilsen had a thread on Barton a while back that asked a question in the last reply. 
Here are a few enlargements of the greens at WGC, a solo effort by Barton. These, and the hole descriptions, probably answer it. 
http://www.golfclubatlas.com/forum/index.php/topic,58054.msg1359136.html#msg1359136 (http://www.golfclubatlas.com/forum/index.php/topic,58054.msg1359136.html#msg1359136)

(https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5732/23701126746_b87f51ecd5_o.jpg)

WGC  was a community effort, a company was formed and shares were issued. It was laid out on property owned  by Mr. M. A. Brown . The club bought an old house that belonged to a Mr. Barnard to use as a temporary clubhouse. Their long range plans for a new building, along with the addition of tennis courts and other amenities, never came to be. The club went out of business shortly after it was built due to the depression.
   
(https://farm1.staticflickr.com/656/23334660879_4eac8028b1_o.jpg)

After we left the WHS we headed over to the site, but it was pretty soft and muddy so we couldn't go trudging around the property. We got a few snapshots while standing on what we later (halfway home  ::) ) realized was the green for the 9th hole, the reversed Redan. The first photo is looking to the southeast, approximately at the point where the 1st & 8th greens were located, along with the tee box for the Redan. The second photo is looking at the Redan from its low side.

Jim, Ralph Barton insisted to his dying day that he did the lion's share of the design work at Yale. I didn't think he was able to persuade many people of his authorship, but maybe that wasn't the case back in 1928, as the story says he's "known throughout New England for his work in designing the Yale Golf Course." Too bad we'll never know where the reporter got that knowledge -- from others in the golf community, or from Barton himself.

Rick,
Hard to nail down his reasoning for the Yale claim. Was he telling the truth?, inflating his contributions?, padding his resume?, or figuring that no one would correct him as that could get pretty messy.

Sorry, no date for this. The nine holes are at the top of the photo. It's now 18, and called Beverly Golf and Tennis Club.
Looks like many of the hole corridors were retained for the 18 hole course, when comparing it to a modern map.

The course dates from around 1914 and was laid out by "J. Ellis."  Looks like 9 more holes were added around 1926.


One of a number of "factory courses," where a golf course was built for the enjoyment of the workers.  McGregor GC in Dayton, OH was another.

From the Detroit Free Press January 22, 1911


This is Detroit Golf Club's second course on land north of Six Mile Road and west of Woodward.  Their original course was just south of this course and south of Six Mile at the corner of Woodward Avenue.  That course was 9-holes and most likely the 1900 work of Tom Bendelow for Spalding.  DGC's two Donald Ross courses encompass the land shown west of hamilton with the addition of several acres to the north of this course to Seven Mile.  For those familiar with Detroit's relatively flat topography and mile road system, there is one mile between Six and Seven Mile Roads.  An observation that this is a very long course at 6212 for 1911.

Post by: Sven Nilsen on January 06, 2016, 07:15:00 PM
Anthony:


Bendelow didn't make the move and start with Spalding until Dec. of 1900, and anything prior to that date in the midwest is suspect.  Most of his work up until then was in the Northeast, and I don't have any verifiable sources that put him further west than Pennsylvania prior to his move to Chicago.


I don't think the original 9 hole course was his work.  I'm also curious as to when the course was extended to 18 holes, as the 1901 Harper's Guide notes an 18 hole 5,992 yard course.


In 1911 Barker added a new bunker scheme prior to the Western Amateur.  I'm not sure if this map is pre- or post- the Barker work.

I don't mean to be dense, but is the map shown above a Ross routing?

Sven -

Interesting about Barker in the Chicago area in 1911. He got around. I think he was the pro at the time at the Roebuck GC in Birmingham, AL. He was doing a lot of design work with George Adair in the southeast from and after 1910. They rerouted East Lake to its current lay-out in 1912.e in 1912.

Sven: [size=78%]I'll find John King's (DGC Historian) drawing for the first course and let that stand on its own.  I agree with your TB and Spalding comments, however, an early club history makes the reference and claim to Bendelow with another person whose name I can't recall right now.  The King drawing has both names on it. Bendelow was in Saginaw, Michigan in 1898 or '99 so he knew how to get that far.  DGC was founded in December of 1899, but the first course was not in construction until late 1900.[/size]


Bob:  No, this not the one of the Ross courses although the area of the course west of Hamilton is part of today's Ross layouts.  This course was designed and supervised by Bert Way.  Whitten says 1905 and I'm working to confirm that date. No part of the Ross layout follows this course.


Please keep the comments and questions coming.  There is still a lot to learn about TB in Michigan.

The certainly non-contemporaneous 1939 club history notes Bendelow being assisted by Frank Thompson on the first course.  It is possible, but doesn't jive with what we know about TB.


As for Saginaw, what's your source for 1898?  He was definitely there in 1902, but I have not seen anything that confirms anything earlier than that.


For the 1905 work, the club had leased 155 acres adjoining Palmer Park in late 1904 with plans for a new 18 hole course.

Bertie Way's brother Ernest was the Pro at DGC in 1906 and it was he who did the construction work for Ross. He became the superintendent after the work was done


Alex Ross became the Pro when Ernest retired.

I just read your post but think I should put these items up for all to review.  The top drawing is by John King.  The information is taken from the 1940 History of Detroit Golf Club in the club's files which is shown next.  John's drawing says 1899, but that is the year the club was founded NOT when they had a golf course.  I'm still looking at period newspaper articles and trying to confirm this information from another source.  The Saginaw date is from Stuart's book, which I believe he got from the Michigan Golfer.  It's not a date confirmed by The Golf Guide.  I'll keep looking.

Anthony:


As well intentioned as Stuart's book is, many of the dates are wrong.  Some of the courses noted on the American Park Builders list were subscribed the date of organization of the club, when in fact Bendelow came through much later. 


I've also found Michigan Golfer to be a less than definitive source.


The map is clearly a later day interpretation of the early course.


It is my understanding that Bendelow did have an arrangement with Spalding prior to 1900, but it wasn't until 1901 that he became their in-house architect.  I'm still skeptical that he was doing work in Detroit in 1900, as his day job was in New York at Van Cortlandt (at least up until around April) and for most of that year he was accompanying Vardon on his tour of the US and Canada.


The same 1911 map you posted is included in the Dec. 1904 edition of Golf Magazine, and thus does not represent any work done by Barker.

Once again agree with many of your comments regarding Stuart's dates and Michigan Golfer.  Stuart is continuing to revise his its and I'm working on the Michigan side. 


I did come across an undocumented transcript regarding Reid & Connellan at the USGA last year and it covers a lot of the Detroit area scene.  I'm still trying to document half of what it said including several Bendelow overlaps. The number of designers who have worked on Birmingham CC since TB's first 9 is mind boggling.  I understand a certain gentleman well-known on these pages is reviewing the history of B'ham.  I'll be interested in seeing if he comes up with some more names for the list.  [size=78%]I'll continue to pursue info re TB in Michigan and dates, especially the Detroit area clubs where Bendelow and/or C&A are concerned (my main interest).  [/size]

Anthony:


The Barker comment was a followup to my earlier question as to whether the 1911 map showed any of his work.  As the map dates back to 1904, I was just clarifying that it predated his involvement.


I found confirmation that the first course (which started as 6 holes with 3 more being added in short order) was quickly extended to 18 holes in 1901.


It is highly possible that this is when Bendelow became involved (the timing makes sense), and the club history just lumped the 1900 and 1901 activities into one story line.


Probably makes sense for us to move these types of conversations out of this thread and into separate discussions (I'm probably the biggest culprit on this front).  As much as I enjoy the tangents these maps take us on, we're kind of taking away from Ed's focus.

It's only a newspaper map, but the signature is by Maxwell. The two differences in the routing between the drawing and a modern aerial seem to be the location of the 4th green, and the modern aerial #5 shows a straight away hole while the drawing shows a dogleg.

An additional point of interest: those new bunkers, hazards and tees were added by William D. Clark, the head pro at Omaha Field Club, who would move to Minnesota in 1917 to become the first head pro at the Minneapolis Golf Club, where he finished Willie Park Jr.'s design. Clark would become a prolific GCA in Minnesota, designing Oak Ridge, Gross, Brookview, Columbia, Wirth and Meadowbrook before moving to Florida.

More of a mystery post.  The following photo of the unveiling of the plans for a course in Massachusetts was taken from the digitalcommonwealth.com archives.


Any guesses as to the course?



(http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc435/snilsen7/08_06_029879_zpse1ugubtq.jpg)

My guess is Newton Commonwealth f/k/a Chestnut Hill Country Club.  The photo is from the Leslie Jones collection at the Boston Public Library.  Jones was a long-time photographer for the old Boston Herald and produced many sports-related photos of Boston area landmarks.  In comparing the map to the current Google Maps aerial image there are a lot of similarities - although I believe the golf course has been modified over the years.  Plus, it is the only Massachusetts golf course I could find that was adjacent to an "Algonquin Road" as shown on the map!   :)

Those aren't back bunkers, but the backs of the fill pads for the putting greens. There's a similar drawing method on the Penn State Golf Course routing and both are/were done by Willie Park, Jr.

Belle Isle Detroit, Michigan  Most likely an Ernie Way design although not built until 1922.  A comparison with today's GE shows the entire site is still there and you can almost "see" the course routing.  This course has nothing to do with the current First Tee practice layout and course further toward the tip of the island.

Jim:


Anthony Pioppi sent the above map to you.  Wethersfield Country Club is celebrating their 100 year anniversary this year.  Robert D. Pryde laid out the first nine holes in 1916.  The second nine was laid out by Jack Stait (pro from Hartford Golf Club) and Syd Covington (pro at Wethersfield) in 1924. 


Stait and Covington presented the club with plans for the outside nine, according to a meeting in the Club minutes from August 8, 1924.  The board approved the plan and financing for the project.


In a July 31, 1925 meeting, a motion was made and carried to present Mr. Stait with a purse of $100 in gold and a suitable letter be written thanking him for services rendered.  The 18 hole course opened for play on Labor Day of 1925.


It's been previously noted that Robert J. Ross laid out the outside nine, but there doesn't seem to be any evidence to support this.

This site is now a county park.  Used to be Ocean County County Park, I believe it was part of an estate...Rockefeller maybe?
Brick High School was right down the street, I graduated in 1980, and that geometric corridor was still there.  I always wanted to hit drives down that row of trees!  It always looked like a course to me, I was excited when I found an old aerial that showed a couple greens.  Thanks for posting this Jim!

A drawing of Hoylake during the Sphere and Tatler Foursomes Tournament of 1912, with the play described by A. C.M. Croome and drawn by G. T. Stephenson.   S&TFT was a professional event played annually from 1911 to 1914, and most likely ceased to exist due to the war. Total prize money - £350, plus each winner received a silver trophy which was provided by the owners of the two magazines.

Jim -


Interesting to see Hoylake at the time. There are still lots of cross bunkers. But also what appear to be earhworks or ramparts straddling a couple of fw's. Is that what they look like to you? All that had disappeared by the 1920's, I think.

Post by: Jim_Kennedy on October 07, 2016, 06:17:21 AM
Bob,
That seems to be what they are, earthworks, but it sounds like many of them are still in play:

A landscape feature unique to Hoylake is the presence of a number of ‘cops’ within the site around which the golf course has (throughout its evolution) played over, around or alongside. The ‘cops’ marked and delineated the old field boundary lines and can be best described as raised, turf-covered dykes (walls) forming low, linear ridges. Over time such has been their significance to the site that they have been incorporated into many of the holes, informing both hole design and strategy.

Post by: Adam Lawrence on October 07, 2016, 06:31:16 AM
That is absolutely fabulous Jim. Gives a wonderful indication of the course before Mr Colt got to work. Plus it is the best image I have ever seen of how the old Dowie (seventh hole) played. You can really see how close the out of bounds cop was to the green. Easy to understand Darwin's line about how everyone slices at the Dowie out of pure fear.

Post by: Matt Dawson on October 07, 2016, 07:01:10 AM
Adam - I recall the difficulty of that 7th hole tee shot vividly. Every time I played it the wind was seemingly off the right and slightly helping. For the right-hander hitting a long iron it was just deathly. I remember seeing the plans to change it in the clubhouse, and sort of wondering why.

For sheer difficulty it was matched only by the second shot to the old 17th green, long and skinny pushed tight up against the OOB fence on the right. And I mean so tight you could have putted off the green onto the road...

Post by: Adam Lawrence on October 07, 2016, 07:13:56 AM
Matt -- yeah, the old Royal green was built by Colt in the 20s. But the history of the Dowie is something that really interests me, because back in the day it was regarded as one of the greatest one shot holes -- but out of bounds as a hazard became unfashionable, so it was changed.


I remember talking to Peter Thomson about the hole. Here's my piece on the Dowie from GCA:

Thanks Sven.


I wonder if similar drainage plans are of public record in county courthouses? I've never looked into it, but "waters of the state" laws might require it in some cases, for the same reasons that drawings of easements are often recorded.


Any of you real estate lawyers have any thoughts on that? If such drainage plans are recorded, county level real estate records are an overlooked source of information on old golf courses.

Jim -


Doing some research on Ross recently, I was struck with how many visits he made to cities in connection with site inspections for municipal courses. Along the way there were newspaper articles about his visit and the city officials he met with (press coverage he was less likely to get with private clubs).Ross really got around.

Here's a 1912 routing map of the 18 holes at Brooklawn from 1912.  This is essentially the routing that Tillinghast walked into in 1929, except the hole labeled 16 here was moved to the pond sometime between 1912 and 1919.

And here is that 1912 routing laid over the 1934 aerial.  Sorry for the eye test. But you can see how Tillinghast moved things around.

Rick,


Thanks for posting the 1912 layout of Brooklawn.  I have never seen that before.  It appears that holes 3-10 are very similar to today's routing.  I remember several years ago Jim Kennedy posted a picture of what is today's ninth green (prior to Tillinghasts work) and it looked much like the same setting as today.  I like to see how the old courses have evolved over time.  It's very helpful when the old layout is superimposed on the old.  Thanks for sharing these.

Rick,


Thanks for posting the 1912 layout of Brooklawn.  I have never seen that before.  It appears that holes 3-10 are very similar to today's routing.  I remember several years ago Jim Kennedy posted a picture of what is today's ninth green (prior to Tillinghasts work) and it looked much like the same setting as today.  I like to see how the old courses have evolved over time.  It's very helpful when the old layout is superimposed on the old.  Thanks for sharing these.


Bret


Yes, routing is nearly identical 3-10  Tilly  built the new greens generally in front of or behind the greens that were there.  We have some aerials that show this.  3 was shortened by appx 40 yards, as was 4. 5 was lengthened as was 6.  7, it appears he built the new green over the old one. 8 he moved the tee forward of the river and moved the green back about 40 yards.  9 and ten, it seems he laid on top of the old greens.  I used that 1912 map, and a 1934 aerial and paced a lot of it off.

Thanks, Sven.
That's cool to look at.
I don't know anything about the course, but the first thing that came to mind was Fenway Park (the baseball stadium).
That is: a design that is made to fit the (small) site.
Holes like 3, 4, 5, 9, 10, 14 - you don't see those so much except when architects have to use every inch of space.
Who designed it?
Was it thought of highly in its day?

Nice find!  Looking at the date of the article, wouldn't this course be a Seth Raynor design?


It's also interesting that the course included nineteen holes.  The nineteenth hole is to the east of Dixie Highway between holes 1 & 9 and 10 & 18.

Brett:


That was my thought as well.  A March 12, 1926 Evening Post article mentions that Banks was to lay out the course, but it also notes that Banks was to lay out a number of other courses that we know Raynor designed.  Here's one instance where lay out may have meant implementing preconceived plans.

You guys have amazing skills at digging and finding old articles and maps.    Does anyone know of any article or info about the expansion in 1910/11 of Brooklawn in Connecticut from 9 to 18 holes? 
All we have is that "Cornell Farm" was purchased and an 18 hole course was made from the original (1895) 9 holes.  We do not know who was involved.    I presume George Sparling, who arrived in 1908, but its a guess.   For that matter, we do not know who exactly laid out the original 1895 nine holes......any help is greatly appreciated!

Stanley Thompson's proposal for adding 5 holes to the existing 9 at the Bartlett CC in Olean, NY.  In the late 1950s four more holes were added to bring the number to 18. The article is from the Olean Herald of October 1950. No day was given, but there was a blurb on the page about the naval bombardment of Chongjin N.Korea and that was on the 12 and 13th of October.

The last course that Seth Raynor designed was Mid Pacific CC (aka Kailua CC), which he planned during his Dec. 1925 trip to Hawaii.  Although only 9 holes were built, the plan called for 18.  Here's a map of the 18 hole course from the Jan. 23, 1927 edition of the Honolulu Star-Advertiser.

(http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc435/snilsen7/Mid%20Pacific%20Plan%20-%20Honolulu%20Star-Advertiser%20Jan.%2023%201927_zpsaahvgvhz.png)


Sorry to dredge this up from the past, but looking at Google maps this appears to be a very similar routing to the current course. I was always under the impression the club did not use Raynor’s plan for the additional nine.

Following are two drawings of White Beeches Golf & Country Club (Haworth, NJ) which is mostly a Walter Travis revised course (1918-1920) to this day.

The first from 1910 shows the original Val Flood designed nine holes course on the top right, but also includes the Mayor Grant Estate private course in the lower left which were merged about two years later to create 18 holes for the club.

The next drawing is from the club's 75 year anniversary book.

I never knew this even existed. Was it actually built?

This looks very much like the location of the Jim Ager Junior Course which was a staple of childhood in my family. I had no idea a full-size course was ever planned for the area, and the Junior has been there as long as any of us can remember.

The course was built around 1920 and was around at least until the 1940's.  I had the wrong date for the article (1941 is correct), and just updated it in the post above.


It was reduced from 18 to 9 holes some time in the mid-1930's.

Thanks Sven.

After some research I've discovered this is indeed where the Jim Ager Jr. course is now which was built in the early 60s; I've been trying to figure out if any of the original greens might be in use, but it doesn't appear that they are.

I have a personal connection to the Ager course so it is fascinating to learn more about its history, which is scarce.

Sven -


It is interesting how much more detailed the course routings become as you move through the 1920's. No doubt there are exceptions, but the old stick routings become rare. Or are you not posting them?


The attention given to the details of greens shapes, bunkering, rough lines and vegetation by the 1920's is perhaps a telltale of thinking/assumptions about the work of the architect that differed from earlier eras.


In any event, great stuff. Please keep posting.

There was a lot more money spent on golf in the 1920's than years prior.


The routing maps are merely evidence of that fact.

That Cypress routing is interesting no?


Also looks like Baldock and Neville used the Raynor/MacKenzie/Hunter routing for the Shore course. Of course 7 holes had already been started and they were hemmed in by sold lots, so likely had no choice.

I think this was posted in an old thread, but I didn't see it in this thread.  This is a 1964 routing for Monterey Peninsula Country Club Shore course. The corresponding article (not included) was written by Bob Baldock.


From Golfdom., February 1964:

Mike,
 
Most of the pictures we see about Cypress is the same, but the holes between 5-13 are just a little different. I think 16 is a par 3, and MacKenzie initially had it as a par 4, so it would not surprise me if this is based on a Raynor routing. Of course as I told Bret, it could be Morse or anyone just trying to figure out where the lots were going to be.


I’m not all that proficient at topographic maps, but it almost looks to me as if the eighteenth green at Pebble might be in the pre 1923 position further east from its iconic site. I would love if someone else could look at that. The site of that green would help narrow down the date of the map. It is certainly no later than 1926 in my opinion.

The link will take you to a map of the rest of the site, which includes about a dozen holes of the original course that was on the property.

Ed,


I appreciate you indexing all of these maps. I find the index very useful and would love to see it remain on the first page of this thread.  Have you thought about relocating your first few layouts to a new reply and continuing the index on the first page of this thread?  You have the first 10 replies or so. If you empty out reply 3, 4 and 5 and replace it with index and future index then we may be able to keep this index on the first page?  Just an alternative to consider.

Bret, that’s what I have been doing. It is actually a bigger pain than you might expect. The advantage to a separate thread for the index is that you can click on the link on the first page of this thread and it will open up a new window for the index thread. Personally, I think it’s easier to navigate between windows rather than having to move back and forth from the first page of this thread to the page with the post you are looking for. Since this thread shows no signs of slowing down, I’m just looking for the best long range plan to make it as functional as possible and increase the likelihood that I can keep up with the index.


All the best,

From old aerials in 1931 and 1957 it doesn't appear that the proposed Madison course on the site of today's Fairmount CC ever was built.   Perhaps another casualty of the Great Depression.

Stadium Hills subdivision in Ann Arbor.  I am not sure if this map displays an existing course, which may have been the Ann Arbor CC, or if this was a course that was to be built.  The University of Michigan course project would start just southeast of this location within a couple of years.  Pioneer HS was built in the upper right portion of this plat in the 1950's.

Kyle:


The details on the first map note "Revised Lines of Golf Course" and a date of Sept. 20, 1915.  The second one is dated Sept. 1915.


Best guess is that they were contemplating a different layout.

The following three Maps show 1) A section of the original 1915 design of Cobb's Creek Golf Course, 2) The same section used in 1953 to plan the re-routing of the course (see Pencil Markings) when a sizable chunk of the property was leased to the Army for a Air Defense Base, and 3) the Re-Routed course as played in the 1955 & 1956 PGA Tour Daily News Opens indicating the Military Installation in the lower left.

The architectural evolution of East Lake #1 is a puzzle. George Adair re-routed the old Bendelow course (see Am. Golfer Nov. and Dec., 1912). The Adair routing is, essentially, the current routing. The only evidence of specific work by Ross was his addition of some bunkers in 1914 or so. Yet Ross claims East Lake #1 as a remodel.

My guess is that East Lake was happy to have Ross claim the course. But based on what we can confirm about what he did there, the claim is a bit thin. (BTW, there is nothing in the Tufts Archive connecting Ross and EL #1.)

Adding to the puzzle is that Ross did the same work at the same time a few miles away at Druid Hills, but did not list Druid Hills as one of his remodels.

Everyone I have talked to who was around to play the (NLE, 1976) No. 2 course at East Lake thought it was the better of the two EL courses. Remnants of a couple if its holes are still evident in the Charlie Yates short course. There was talk after it was built of creating a composite course with No. 1 for tournaments. I don't know if that ever happened. Logistics usually dictated use of the No. 1 course alone.


EL has one of the original drawings of Ross's No. 2 course. It is magnificent. Unlike the No. 1 course, there is lots of material on it in the Tufts Archive.


I had once assumed that Bob Jones had been involved in picking Ross and in the planning and construction of No. 2. He was by '27/'28 a very prominent figure in the game. But I have found nothing to indicate that Jones was involved. If anyone has other information, I would love to see it.

Sven posted this overlay of Multnomah:

I came across another view:

The city offered a prize for the best design and the first layout was by Henry I. Jones and it was said that Vernon Macan might give it a go. The city was looking to have the course designed by a Portland architect, but the final plan was by H.Chandler Egan. The course may have also been known as West Hills. It was built on a county farm that once housed the poor.


The city also had a contest to name the course:

There was a plaster cast made of the property for the contestants to look at. Here's the topo:

Pretty sure the course that Jim is discussing in this old post was the West Hills Municipal GC designed by H. Chandler Egan which was built on the Multnomah farm, hence the confusion with Multnomah GC that was built by William Lock.  Here's a plan of the Lock course:

in the previous reply Sven is correct. The 9 course was known as West Hills when I played it in the early 1950s. It was put out of commission in the mid 50s to build the original site of OMSI (about the 7th green) and relocation of the local zoo, which took the place of 2-4. The rest became Hoyt Park Pitch and Putt, which was butchered by the Forestry Center and laid to rest by a Vietnam Memorial. The exit from Canyon Road is still intact and gives reference. A family tree member was killed in a newspaper helicopter crash on the course before I was born,

I've heard that the routing is supposedly intact. I'm still trying to figure out the 15th green, looks like a draftsman's tyop,  :)  and #4 looks like it's missing a bunker or two.

Jim-I know Weequahic Park in Newark was also an Olmsted project and currently has some holes I can’t believe were included in the original design.

I think there was a dozen years between the time OB designed Weequahic Park and George Low designed the golf course.

Philadelphia CC, 1899

There is a 1922 map of PCC from 1922 posted by Joe Bausch that can be found at reply #509, along with this description from the club itself...
 
Founded in 1897, Bala Golf Club has a long and storied history.The roots of the Bala Golf Club reach back to the spring of 1893 when two men - George Reach and Charles Hickman - watched a well-dressed foursome play the links along a City Avenue golf course. Getting the idea to start their own club, the two men joined with a group of prominent Philadelphians and purchased a plot of farmland just inside the city limits on Belmont Avenue - a location that was easily accessible by trolley or train and built a course on the site, roughly half way between the original homes of Philadelphia Country Club and Overbrook Country Club. That site, laid out by Willie Tyler, provided the club members with a 9 hole, 2,747 yard layout with a par of 35 1/2. Although the original course was higly regarded, the pressure to go to an 18 hole course convinced the membership to act, and, in 1923, William S. Flynn, a noted designer (among them, Rolling Green, Huntington Valley, Cherry Hills in Denver, The Country Club in Brookline, Seaview, Shinnecock Hills, and Lancaster CC), was brought in to renovate the course. Flynn's challenge was to build nine additional holes, fold them into the Tyler design, and fit it all into the existing acreage. He succeeded admirably.

...but it appears that there were already 18 holes two dozen years earlier, so have I mixed this up with another PCC??

Sven--


Thanks for posting reply #1305.  Very interesting to me because that raw land on the other side of the Snake River shown in the photo is the pioneer fruit orchard that became my course, Canyon Springs GC.  We roamed this canyon as kids, not much spoiling our love of this wild landscape by playing golf.  When my father built his own 9-holer in 1972-4 (I helped some), the plan was to add it as the second nine for BLCC, a plan eventually rejected by the membership.  Instead, they used his "first-course" architect, Max Mueller, to build their second nine (Max's office was in our maintenance shed).  Ten years or so later, my father built his second nine. 


I haven't read enough of this thread to know how people use it.  However, perhaps for the first time in the many years I've been on this site, finally there is a post about a topic that I am probably the definitive expert source.  I was born in 1949, the year BLCC opened for play, and have been intimately associated with these properties for 70 years.  If anyone wants to know anything about these courses, I'm your huckleberry.  The routing map posted, for example, is remarkably accurate to what was built.


I showed Tom D. around both these courses a few years ago and his reviews are in his CG, vol 3.

"...intimately associated with these two courses for 70 years" with a rather major gap of 22 years during which about the only golf I played was when I visited my parents.  I do know the entire history.  These properties were homesteaded and were about the first settlements in an area that is now home to about 100,000 folks.  The homesteader, I.B. Perrine, was the guy responsible for figuring out how to finance the dams and canals to irrigate the sagebrush desert of South Central Idaho, some 1.4 million acres.  His own homestead was a sandy and rocky wasteland not good for much more than fruit trees and grazing animals.  I like to think he wouldn't mind they were eventually converted to golf courses, rather like the original links, and became symbols of the prosperity his vision created.

A 1920 Olmsted plan for the NLE Aviation CC (aka Lochhaven CC and Green Lake CC).


Although the map doesn't contain a drawing of the course, it does contain notations for the locations of greens (marked with a circled G), tees (circled T's) and fairways (circled F's).

A 1917 Olmsted Plan of Sleepy Hollow.


The map was seemingly prepared in connection with plans for the residential development of the course, with a number of proposed alterations to the routing noted on the map.  One item of note is that in 1917 someone was contemplating the expansion of the course eastward after the Redan, a move that would be carried out a good bit later.

Bret-Do you know when # 14 at NHCC was changed from a par four to a par five? It was the only weak hole on the golf course before they ultimately changed it back which is only in the last ten years. North of 450 yards in 1921 was a stout par four.

I don't know exactly when New Haven Country Club changed their 14th hole from a Par 4 to a Par 5.


Here is an excerpt from the club's Fifty-Year Anniversary book including a quote from Willie Park .  This was written in 1948, which might give some insight as to how Willie Park would have felt about the change.

Bret-When you look at NHCC’s website their course tour has a written description that makes reference to going for the green in two with a good drive on 14. Considering the only hazards for the length of the hole come in the form of sand I wonder if the description isn’t a holdover from when the hole played as a par 5? As far as I can hit it I can’t reach the green in two but if I have a look there is nothing to keep me from whacking away. It was a crazy hard par 4 in the 1920’s and one hundred years later remains a hard hole.

There are a couple of earlier views of this layout on the list. 
This one touts -  "The deft hand of Walter J. Travis, four times champion at Oakland, are seen at frequent points on the links. Travis Is the sponsor for many of the bunkers and traps, and has been a factor In making the course as exacting as it is."

Jim --


This particular map of Oakland (which shows the pre-Raynor version) is confusing me.  It shows several holes that would be very long for that day (510y, 541y, 585y).  But I am looking right at Dan Wexler's map of the Raynor re-work that is featured in Missing Links.  That golf course is squished and crunched in there -- the longest holes SR could contrive were of the 440-yard range.  How is this possible?  I always thought SR was a real master at routing.  Did Oakland lose or sell a chunk of land somewhere that constricted Raynor's design? Or is the map just way off the mark?  Below is my routing comparison -- wish I had the digital skills to do some sort of overlay.




Old 1st (220y) - starting at Raynor's 10th tee, to a green site in the middle of the DZ.
Old 2nd (163y) - tee near site of Raynor's 10th green, playing to a spot in the DZ of Raynor's 11th.  Okay.  Fine so far.
Old 3rd (510y) - corresponding to the corridor of Raynor's 12th, which was 425 yards (and crunched in there pretty tightly on the Wexler map).  That hole just wouldn't fit.
Old 4th (319y) - covering the corridor where Raynor built his Redan 13th, and continuing on to finish at the site of Raynor's 4th green.  Okay then.
Old 5th (311y) - corresponding to Raynor's 5th of 300 yards. 
Old 6th (541y) - this map shows the tee behind and to the left of the old 5th green (i.e. no walkback).  It also shows the old 6th green in proper relationship to the 7th tee.  But the Wexler map shows Raynor's (3-shot) 6th of 445 yards as shoehorned in there, certainly no room to stretch out another 100 yards.
Old 7th (331y) - corresponding roughly to Raynor's 7th (385y), but perhaps with the green site on the opposite side of the ravine from Raynor's hole which dog-legged left over the hazard.  The map of the old version does not show the ravine, so I'm guessing here.
Old 8th (140y) - corresponding to Raynor's 8th of 155 yards.
Old 9th (368y) - corresponding to Raynor's 9th of 408 yards.
Old 10th (344y) - on land mostly unused by Raynor, with a green site out in the field to the right of Raynor's 1st fairway.
Old 11th (385y) - following the second half of Raynor's 1st, but continuing on to finish at the site of Raynor's 2nd green.
Old 12th (464y) - corresponding to Raynor's 3rd of 435 yards.  I can buy that.
Old 13th (263y) - Playing across two Raynor hole corridors to finish near the site of his 14th tee.
Old 14th (585y) - Used the corridor of Raynor's Biarritz 14th, and continued on through the corridor of Raynor's 15th.  Okay, but on the Wexler map that 15th green was much further down, right up next to the 2nd green (old 11th).  This map shows the green site a good distance shy of that point.  The configuration just can't square with a hole of 585 yards.
Old 15th (325y) - Corresponding to Raynor's 16th of 350 yards.
Old 16th (413y) - Corresponding to Raynor's 17th of 415 yards.
Old 17th (316y) and 18th (218y) - both fit in the hole corridor of Raynor's 18th (445y).


***


The perceived weakness of Raynor's (otherwise excellent) Oakland course was lack of length. Yet it seems the old version had a number of stout holes.  Unless there was some loss of land I can't explain what's going on with this map.

Any idea if that 18 hole course at North Jersey ever opened?

The club's website seems to indicate that they didn't have 18 holes until the Travis design that opened in 1923.

I'm thinking their webpage is incorrect.  The Club goes back to the 1890's, I think.

Mark Mammel,

I've not been to White Bear Yacht Club but I'm curious how close to today's course is that 1915 drawing?   

Did it change significantly after that?   Thanks for any information!

Joe,


Looking at old aerials, I think the answer is that some of it got built.   I think possibly all of it did, but then that was revised in the 1980s.

Thanks for this, Joe. Interesting to me as I got around the Randolph courses a fair amount while in school in Tucson.


The North course ("existing" as labeled on the map) was a 1925 William P Bell design. It exists today with essentially the same layout as is seen here, except at some point they moved the 18th tee closer to the 9th, probably to accommodate a recreation center that was built more or less in the area where the old clubhouse was.


The "proposed" course was laid out by Bell's son, William F Bell. It opened in 1961 and was known as Randolph South. It was very much considered the lesser of the two courses. On my first visit to Tucson in 1993 I recall having a few hours to squeeze in some golf before a spring training game at adjacent Hi Corbett Field. The pro said that the South was empty and we might get 12 or even 18 holes in, while we might only get through 9 on the North, but nonetheless he strongly recommended we play the North.


The South was renovated by Ken Kavanaugh in 1996 and ever since has been known as Dell Urich. The course follows the Bell routing as seen in the image proposed above, but Kavanaugh moved a great deal of earth and turned what had been a flat and pretty boring short course into one with a lot more interest. The LPGA played here for a few years (they've also played at the North).


When I was in school, I was equally happy to play either of the courses at Randolph Park, if I had a free afternoon and the funds (and transportation). For courses on similar land, they offered a good contrast of style--the North a longer, very traditional-style course, Dell Urich a shorter course that asked for precision and offered a lot more chances to make decisions, uneven lies and risk/reward.

I loved this course as a kid.  It may have been the first "championship" course I ever played with real cloverleaf shaped sand traps.. 72 in all.


The stretch of 11, 12, and 13 was my own Amen Corner.

That is fascinating, Candler Park was build in the late 20's, so this must be a proposed redesign of the original course, and a substantial one at that. Not a single original hole would have been retained. Do you have a link to the corresponding article?

From an early 1970s placemat, I believe this is the original Stiles/Van Kleek plan for Brigantine Golf Club in NJ, circa 1925, which opened in 1927.   It was one of the first planned golf course communities integrating golf with housing in the northeast, I'm led to believe.

I had no idea that George Sayers did any architecture. Although I guess it is not surprising for that era. I have 2 sets of George Sayers (Ben Sayers' son) irons from 1952. One a standard set and one a "shankless" set where the hosel wraps behind the face down at the heel. My dad remembered going down to Merion with his friend for each of them to be fitted. The clubs are stainless and have "Hand Forged in Scotland" on them. I believe that they were made by Ben Sayers' company  in Scotland and stamped George Sayers if shipped to the US. The persimmon driver is a work of art.

Thanks, Joe. George Ormiston is credited with the design. Reportedly, eight of the original greens remain. The course has been designated an historical Western Pennsylvania landmark through the Pittsburgh History & Landmark Foundation. As of 2007, it had employed only four head golf professionals in its 100-year history.
 
From an April 30, 2007 Pittsburgh Post-Gazette article:
 
Mt. Lebanon was built by Ormiston, a former accomplished amateur player and first winner of the West Penn Amateur championship in 1899 when it was played at Schenley Park Golf Course, then known as the Pittsburgh Golf Club. He was also president of the West Penn Golf Association from 1914 until his death in 1940. Ormiston was born in Haddingtonshire, Scotland, in 1874 and migrated in 1888 to the Pittsburgh area, where his father owned a law firm and printing company. He was a close friend and associate of Oakmont founder Henry C. Fownes, who built the course that would go on to host 17 national championships in 1903. Ormiston played at Oakmont and, along with Fownes, dominated amateur golf in Western Pennsylvania for much of the early 1900s. He also was on the committee for the first U.S. Open that was held at Oakmont in 1927. There is a picture in the Oakmont guesthouse of the first Oakmont golf team, and Fownes and Ormiston are seated next to each other. It is not known how much input, if any, Ormiston had in the construction of Oakmont. But in 1908, he was contracted to build an 18-hole golf course on a portion of farmland owned by William Smith, who bought the property located near the Pittsburgh & Castle Shannon Railroad in 1846. Smith was the first to begin construction on the course, building three holes in the summer of 1907 before Ormiston was hired to lay out the course on paper. Castle Shannon Golf Club opened nine holes on July 4, 1908 and expanded to 18 holes in 1910, according to documents contained in the club's application for landmark status…Castle Shannon was reduced to nine holes in 1919 after a two-year period in which the club was inactive because of World War I and also lost members to the newly formed St. Clair Country Club.
 
From the community website:
 
Mt. Lebanon's proud tradition of golf dates back to July 4, 1907, when a group of 30 men founded the Castle Shannon Golf Club on a 100-acre farm and persisted with the sport despite having to dodge moving targets, such as cows and horses. There were no tees or greens; still 30 golfers soon had joined, each paying $5 dues per year and bringing along scythes and lawn mowers to keep the course in playable condition. By 1918, there were 100 members, some rudimentary tees and greens and even a groundskeeper. That original club eventually disbanded, was reorganized, and in the '20s, '30s and '40s was one of the most popular 9-hole courses in the Pittsburgh area. Among the club's elite members were the financiers Andrew W. and Richard King Mellon, who reportedly rode the trolley to the end of the Castle Shannon line and were transported by horse-drawn carriage to the golf course. Mt. Lebanon purchased the private course in 1947 and reconfigured several holes located in the adjacent Castle Shannon Borough so that the entire course now lies within the boundaries of Mt. Lebanon.

Fendrich golf course (Evansville, IN), a Bill Diddel design.  FYI:  a 1946 Evansville Press article states the first submitted plan for the course was done by Langford.  Diddel came in with a plan that was cheaper.

Chris, thanks for the Peachtree drawings.  Have some of the alternate tees (like 14 and 15) been abandoned?  I don't remember them.

I have also resized your photos here to fit the screen...

By the way, does anyone care about me resizing the photos?  I am happy to stop if its not helping.

Sven: 


Small world.  This plan brings back memories. 


Frank Lloyd Wright designed the clubhouse for the Nakoma CC in the '20s, never built on this site.  However, while at Taliesin in 1969 I worked on a version of it for the Trent Jones Spring Green course to the west about 30 miles.  Never built there either.   It finally was built in the Sierra Nevadas (north of Tahoe) sometime in the 1990s as part of a residential golf course development.  Arguments go on forever whether Wright designs built after his death without his involvement on a given site are in fact "Wright" designs.  I say yes to the CA version.

This is where my father grew up playing, now Portsmouth Elks Club. Wonderful old Ross course that could use a restoration given most bunkers are now grass bunkers (which are sort of charming as they are) and the conditioning isn't great. But, for a town that has struggled as much as Portsmouth has over the last many decades, this depleted Ross gem is a perfect fit. Worth a trip for my money!!


Cheers

Mike,

As for when Ross was first there, the October 1913 issue of The American Golfer states: "Donald Ross spent a week early in September in Atlanta looking over the new Druid Hills course, which is now about ready for play, and which will be opened early next spring, and the rearranged course of the Atlanta Athletic Club [East Lake]. He has arranged an elaborate system of traps for both these courses, which will be put in during the winter."

Played Watertown CC in high school a few times. Looks like the nines are reversed on that plan.

Westwood CC (NLE) circa 1926 by Ross in Richmond Virginia.   The course was built, was very popular, and another 9 holes designed by Flynn soon followed the Ross 18.  The Flynn 9 holes was constructed to the south of Ross 18.


The 27 hole golf course was shuttered circa 1935 and the area of the golf course was later redeveloped as residential while the clubhouse survived.  The clubhouse later became a supper club, which was transformed in the mid 60s into the thriving social and tennis club of today known as the Westwood Club.

Riverside Municipal Golf Course, Janesville, WI

Partial plan from 1942 of the expansion to 18 holes by Robert Bruce Harris.

https://archive.lib.msu.edu/tic/golfd/article/1942feb30.pdf

Can't post the image because it is a PDF.

The routing is interesting because it actually ended up being the current one used today, but with the nines flipped. There have been at least two other hole sequences used during my lifetime which were very different from this one, but the one that has been in the place since the mid 1980s actually resembles this one the most.

Joe, I looked up Bowring Park. Though “now under construction” in 1923, an 18-hole course did not open there until 1934, according to the course’s website. Nine holes there in 1913 are claimed as England’s first municipal golf course!

Getting ready for a Maine visit next year doing mostly cool old nine-hole courses along the coast.   Here's one on an island, Great Chebeague GC designed by George Spalding and Betrand R.T. Collins, later expanded to nine with a free assist from Wayne Stiles.
