For the H.S. Colt fans out there

Hamilton G&CC has just opened a new 9 hole Par 3 course themed by the work of Colt.  I know nothing first hand about the course, perhaps our eastern brethren can supply more information.

Here is a lin k to an article on the Golf Canada web site - http://www.golfcanada.ca/courses-travel/article4484.ece
I've seen an architecture, something new, that has been in my mind for years and I am glad to see a man with A.V. Macan's ability to bring it out. - Gene Sarazen

Interesting.  None of the Ault, Clark courses I played in Virginia was particularly memorable, and here's Tom Clark channeling Harry Colt in Canada!

I plan to head over see the holes in the next couple of weeks.
I'll take photos and post them when I do.

The land where the holes are is excellent.
I'm curious to see the results.

I'm still stunned they haven't fixed the third nine, which is nothing like the original 18 and needs lots of work.

Taking Ian's post a step further, I'm a bit stunned the club would construct a par 3 course in tribute to Colt when there's rightfully a lot of work to do on the main course to sincerely bring Colt back.
