Baisden Shores - Ross in Tampa
« on: October 26, 2017, 11:47:45 AM »
In 1925, the Tampa newspapers ran a series of articles on plans for the Baisden Shores development (on the site of what is now MacDill AFB) with plans for a Donald Ross 18 hole course.

I have seen no record anywhere of this course, other than in these articles. 

Has anyone ever heard of it?

There is a Bay Palms golf complex on land near a point identified on Bing Maps as Catfish Point.

Built well after Ross died.
