Colt and Royal Zoute
« on: February 25, 2005, 11:28:25 AM »
Does anybody know definitively (it's going in print!) when Colt worked on Royal Zoute?  A new course was built in 1925, which seems a plausible date for Colt.  The club's planner guide says, "After the Second World War, an Englishman, Lieutenant Colonel Allen, drew up plans for two links courses which became the existing Championship Course and the shorter Executive Course."  A Belgian website (not the club's) - http://golf.be/zoute/index.html - gives 1945 as the date Colt designed it.  Surely far too late for Colt?  Unfortunately the club secretariat is closed for the weekend.

Any accurate dates would be greatly appreciated.
