Ross: Hamilton Ohio Elks CC?
« on: March 31, 2007, 12:08:54 AM »
Perusing the list of courses on the Donald Ross Society website, I find the Elks Country Club in Hamilton Ohio (1925). This is very close to my hometown and a course I've driven past 1000 times but never knew it was a Ross...

Anyone on the GCA have knowledge of this course and if it retains any of the original Ross design/features?

Thanks!
Tom

Sorry, in same boat as you, just always knew it was a Ross course.

I don't know the Hamilton Elks C.C., but the Elks Country Club Portsmouth, OH. is a really good Ross.  I think it hosted an OGA Championship recently.

I knew it was there, I knew it was Ross, I knew it was private, I knew I could not play it. *sigh*

It is on SR4 almost across the street Walden Ponds.

It looks nice.

There is some indication of the addition of a third nine by Hurdzan.  Don't know if that implies any work on the original Ross eighteen...
