The Original 9-hole course at Van Cortlandt Design Attribution (Willie Dunn?)

[MCirba]

For historical purposes, the "second" golf course at Van Cortlandt known as Mosholu was designed by Pelham pro William Kilgour and Arthur C. Johnson, secretary of the New York Golf Club, working in conjunction with NYC Parks Commissioner Thomas W. Whittle, circa 1914-15.

Incidentally, Kilgour made some revisions to the original Van Cortlandt course in 1915, as well.

Uncanny coincidence: Today a friend who knows nothing of my NYC golf plans and has zero interest in golf texted two photos of WPA art in Pelham Bay's clubhouse! The city's PB webpage refers to an Art Deco Great Room, which gives me hope that the art is still there.

I am tempted to start an OT thread of great interest to me: art in golf clubhouses. Thoughts? Before today I would have summarized what I have seen as "If you have seen one portrait of a club president, you have seen them all."
