12 designs and 5 redesigns - and out of respect I've walked on the site of some NLEs, most notably Boca Raton South.

Wayne, I have played 11.  Beaver Dam Golf Club:  1927 AKA Prince Georges Country Club  (NLE) are predecessor clubs to my present club: The County Club at Woodmore.  The club always names Donald Ross as the designer.  From what I gather, Flynn made a great many changes but is he to be considered the primary designer?

TW -
The NLE Beaver Dam/Prince Georges course was definitely all Flynn. Ross's course was built over, part of it becoming housing. I just sent you an im.

Thanks for contacting Tommy, Craig.  Honestly, Tommy, without Craig's work (a massive amount) for our book project, we wouldn't have known about a lot of courses including the many misattributed courses such as your predecessor.

Yeah, Fred.  Where have you been?  The book is being edited (I think) and a family office has indicated they will publish it.  My work is done.  Bob Crosby and Craig Disher have a little remaining (hint..hint).

This is an interesting study.  Peter Pallotta suggested that everyone include the other classic era architects they've played and how many.  That is a lot to ask, but it would be interesting to compile the information.  

Lloyd,

I am pleased that of the three you've played, two were with me.  Between those two and Indian Creek (I love it), your small sampling is very strong  ;)

Steve,

To include Philmont North is conjecture only.  But in your case, I'll make an exception  ;)  It wouldn't surprise me that he did some work there, but given that none is documented, that's what we're sticking with despite the club's protestations.

Wayne,

Played 5.

Can you elaborate on the "unknown, possibly none" designation of Flynn's design of Philmont?

Quite a few. But this list seems very charitable. Tuxedo, to cite just one. Come on.

I think the list being compiled here is going to contain a decent amount of false positives.
