Greatest courses never built
wsmorrison:
Tillinghast's 36-holes at Philadelphia Cricket Club. The current 18 is neither of the two courses but rather an amalgamation. I'll have to go back and take a good look at the plans. As I remember it was very interesting.
ForkaB:
Raynor's Olympic Club?
Naccarato's Lost Canyons'?
redanman's Pebble Beach (not) Links?
Paul's Ardrossan Farms?
Tony_Muldoon:
The Carthage Club.
T_MacWood:
The International Club: the largest golf and country club in the world was going to be built near Niagara in Canada (on the Niagara River). Five 18-hole courses and four nine-hole courses designed by AW Tillinghast and Seymour Dunn and a total cost of $10,000,000, huge amount in 1928.
Membership was to come from every city in the country and air travel was the proposed mode of transportation. The location in Canada was designed to take advantage of liquior laws.

Tom M: I have never heard the story about the "Modern" course at St. Andrews. When was that going to happen, and where exactly? A shame they didn't get to it.
I've seen a routing for the second 18 holes at Fishers Island. It would have been cool, I'm sure, but it didn't have as much prime real estate as the existing 18.
I would have liked to see Tillinghast's version of the West course at Five Farms. It still blows me away that Bob Cupp used a different routing for that one.
