I was just reading an obituary of Harry Colt on the British Newspaper Archive site, and it mentioned that, along with Douglas Rolland, he was responsible for adding nine holes to the Hastings course in the late 1890s, at the same time as he was working on Rye (although long before he became a full time architect). The course was closed and sold for building land in 1938.
Does anyone know any more about this course? Obviously it would have been one of the very first things Colt did - it would be fascinating to find out a little more.
