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.

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.
