Monoosnock CC - A Donald Ross design remodeled by Stiles?
« on: June 18, 2021, 08:20:08 AM »
Found this one recently. I don't see it on the Donald Ross Society website nor GCA. Donald Ross in 1910 laid out nine holes for the Leominster Golf Club. By 1911, the Leominster Golf Club and the Leominster Tennis Club combined into the Monoosnock Country Club that still exists today. Wayne Stiles remodeled the course in 1924 keeping eight of the original greens and enlarging them.


Any further insights are much appreciated.

Another nice find.  Its amazing what pops up as more and more old papers are made available.


Do you have anything on Ross working at Alpine?
