Bradley A. -
I was out at the Olympic Club today. Based on what on saw on the drawings, maps & aerial photos in the clubhouse, this is what I can tell you:
1) The original course on that site was established as the Lakeside GC, was designed by Wilfred Reid and was built in 1917.
2) The Lakeside Club fell into financial difficulties within a year or two after it opened and the property was acquired by the Olympic Club in 1918.
3) The Olympic Club acquired a good deal more property around the border of the original Lakeside property.
4) In 1924, Willie Watson & Sam Whiting designed the Lake & Ocean Courses pretty much from scratch on the enlarged property. To my eye, it appears that none of the holes designed by Wilfred Reid were incorporated into the design/routing of the Lake Course.
5) While the Ocean Course has been changed many times over the years, it appears the routing of the Lake Course is pretty much in tact since 1924, aside from the new 8th hole just a couple of years ago.
