Watertown Golf Club (1927)-This layout looks very similar to the 1922 plans drawn for the golf course, viewable in Reply 635




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.

click =embiggen 






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.

Good Lord, I let the index on this thread got out of control!  My apologies for taking so long to bring it current and my ever grateful thanks to Jim Kennedy for doing much of the work for me months ago.  Going forward, I will try and do a better job at keeping pace with Jim, Sven and others who have so regularly contributed to this thread.  I'll try and post some maps that I have stumbled across at some point.  In the meantime, here are a bunch of hole drawings from Mark Saltzman's terrific thread on The Country Club Pepper Pike... http://www.golfclubatlas.com/forum/index.php/topic,52748.0.html

Sven,

Thanks...I just played there a few weeks ago and despite the loss of some bunkers it's quite well preserved.

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:









This history of the park includes a few golf course maps:
