Might as well post Ralph Barton's 9-hole Hanover Country Club plan here, too. It was built in 1932, and was converted to a practice area in 1970:

In honor of masters week thought I would take a photo of of an Augusta rendering I was given by one of the principals at the old In Celebration of Golf stores in Scottsdale

Not sure who drew it or the date - hope you enjoy

There are a couple of Dyker plans posted here by Joe Bausch - one from '29 and one from '31. This one's a bit earlier.

Sharing the page w/the Dyker sketch is one of the 13th at Muirfield as it 'looked' when Jess Sweetser won the British amateur in '26.

...and even though it's not a map or plan, here's a '29 photo of PB's 1st green.

Here a picture of Dick Wilson's original plan for the new Deepdale GC in Manhassett, NY



The course has barely changed at all since the 50's when Wilson finished building it.

I posted this in the thread about St. Paul's Town & Country Club, but I'll post it here, too -- the first known routing map of Minnesota's first golf course, from the St. Paul Globe in 1896:

Galveston CC (now NLE, I think; a Donald Ross) from the Nov 9, 1919 edition of the Galveston Daily News:

Joe:

That drawing looks like it was done by an architect or someone in the business. Does it look like the work of Walter Hatch or McGovern or others who worked with Ross?

The person who oversaw the construction was a Ross guy Charles Harris.

The Chevy Chase Club, Chevy Chase, MD. This is from a history of the club through 1957 that I found at a used bookstore. (I did not take it home with me, as there were only about 10 pages on golf and I haven't played the course.)

The course's original 9 holes are diagrammed very faintly with white dotted lines on the east (bottom) half of the property. The original 18 hole course is diagrammed with the darker lines and hole numbers. Finally, the 1922 Colt/Alison course, as it appeared in 1957, is portrayed in the background with green numbers.



If anyone is interested in clarification on the routing of the original 9, I am happy to provide it.
