Westwood CC (NLE) circa 1926 by Ross in Richmond Virginia.   The course was built, was very popular, and another 9 holes designed by Flynn soon followed the Ross 18.  The Flynn 9 holes was constructed to the south of Ross 18.


The 27 hole golf course was shuttered circa 1935 and the area of the golf course was later redeveloped as residential while the clubhouse survived.  The clubhouse later became a supper club, which was transformed in the mid 60s into the thriving social and tennis club of today known as the Westwood Club.

Riverside Municipal Golf Course, Janesville, WI

Partial plan from 1942 of the expansion to 18 holes by Robert Bruce Harris.

Can't post the image because it is a PDF.

The routing is interesting because it actually ended up being the current one used today, but with the nines flipped. There have been at least two other hole sequences used during my lifetime which were very different from this one, but the one that has been in the place since the mid 1980s actually resembles this one the most.

Flynn’s Manufacturers and Rolling Green in Philadelphia are not on the list. RG’s website displays a section of a routing.

Joe, I looked up Bowring Park. Though “now under construction” in 1923, an 18-hole course did not open there until 1934, according to the course’s website. Nine holes there in 1913 are claimed as England’s first municipal golf course!

Getting ready for a Maine visit next year doing mostly cool old nine-hole courses along the coast.   Here's one on an island, Great Chebeague GC designed by George Spalding and Betrand R.T. Collins, later expanded to nine with a free assist from Wayne Stiles.

I'm posting these images and text for GCAer Greg Hohman. All images are clickable to a larger size.

Golfclub Schloss Georghausen e. V., located near Cologne in Lindlar, Germany.
 
Six holes inaugurated on Oct 20, 1963. Nine holes in June 1965. Eighteen in 1977. In 1987, GCA Karl F. Grohs did a “remodel,” the word used in The Architects of Golf, where remodeling “runs the gamut from minor revisions to total creation of a new layout.”
 
1st image: July 25, 1962 drawing by Bernhard von Limburger (1901-1981). Schloss Georghausen does not seem to be attributed to him.


 
Re “Limmy”: A website limburger-courses.com is attractive, but it is in German and short on the detail the DG expects. If you are curious about something, ask me to translate.
 
2nd image: nine holes, no attribution.


 
3rd image: 18 holes, plan and drawing of Club President Kurt Braunschweig.


 
If the club replies to my email, I will ask questions.

Spring Valley Golf Club, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.  Plan by H.V. Morcom, 1949.


Spring Valley GC is a close neighbour of Kingston Heath Golf Club, located about 3km east on the same road.  The Club was formed in 1948 and the course opened for play in 1951.  Vern Morcom was the son of the legendary Mick Morcom. Vern was the head greenkeeper at Kingston Heath from the 1920s until the 1960s.  He was also Australia's most prolific 20th century architect.  Spring Valley stands as the best surviving example of his architecture.

A never built, proposed 18-hole routing for Gleneagles GC at McLaren Park from 1928 (previously called McLaren Park Golf Course). This version of the course would never be built, and in fact, McLaren Park GC would not be opened until 1962 -- 34 years later.

Citation: San Francisco Chronicle - October 31, 1928 - page 17

All thanks to Sean Tully for suggesting that there was a previous routing for the course, which is the reason I went hunting in the first place. I wouldn't have spent so much time on the newspaper archive trying to find information on the course if he hadn't seemed quite confident that there was a plan made in this time period.
