The Royal Ottawa Golf Club is located in Canada and is very old. The Club's web page indicates the course is the work of Tom Bendelow and Willie Park:
The original Course architect was Tom Bendelow of Chicago, who at the time was a leader in the industry. The original design was subsequently amended by Willie Park Jr., winner of the British Open in 1887 and 1897.In April of 1913 the following report suggests changes are being contemplated, and Harry Colt has been contacted:
In May of that year another article with the title "New Links for Royal Ottawa GC" appeared:
Well, that sure sounds promising.
However, the article indicates a drawback to the current course is six holes are facing the west, and that Colt wants to re-route the course, starting #1 at what is the current 14th green.
But here is the current layout according to the Club's webpage:
That seems to show six holes running to the west, and the 14th green still just north of the clubhouse. So maybe the changes were never made?
Figuring out what might have happened here took more digging. Later in 1913 is this article primarily about Colt's course in Toronto:
Near the bottom of the first column of the above article is written that in part due to the cost, the Royal Ottawa club has put off the decision for the work to the upcoming annual meeting.
In February of 1914 an article suggests that it is unlikely Colts' plans will be adopted for current financial reasons:
I'm waiting for the Club's history book to arrive via interlibrary loan see if they wrote at all about the above. I've contacted the Club to discuss these findings but have yet to receive a reply. I'll update when more info is available.
