Danville CC, Quebec, Canada - A rediscovered Willie Park Jr. design

[Karl Jensen]

I believe this is a golf course that has been under the radar for Willie Park Jr. designs. I don’t see it listed on any of Park’s advertisements nor course lists that anyone has assembled.


It was a nine hole estate golf course for a wealthy barrister named James N. Greenshields, who lived both in Montreal and Danville, Quebec. The course I believe was built at Greenshields’ country residence called “Isaleigh Grange Farm” in Danville, Quebec and within two years would become the Danville Country Club.


I haven’t found much more than this. See images below.


Does anyone have anything else?

Willie Park, Jr. may well have the most uncredited work in the US.

Part of that is this "Ross mythos" and the other part I believe was the interruption of World War 1.

Park Jr. was really busy around Montreal around 1920. I assume it is NLE now?
