If the list is from 1999, William Flynn probably wouldn't even make it on the radar screen of underrated architects let alone be named one.

                       Xenophon G. Hassenplug had better be on that list or there is going to be trouble!

BCrosby:

There is no C&C or Doak answer to the question.

Ditto the likes of Flynn, Wilson.

Gents:

I'll be filling in the other answers that have been posted in the last day or so.

Keep'em coming ... what's surprising is how the living folks have been really missed thus far.

Matt, making us wait for the answers to a nine year old list is a bit odd.
 
Is there anything to you saying it's Whitten and Golf World?

I'll try Jim Engh as a living one?

Sorry Matt, there isn't a sarcasm emoticon.  Plus I'm trying to cut back.


Anybody mention Tom Fazio yet?

Time for an update ...

No way does Tom Fazio make the listing. Ditto Rees Jones or his brother or father.

SPDB, et al:

Congrats on the Tom Simpson pick -- #1 on the overall list !

"British designer as flamboyant as A.W. Tillinghast in design and lifestyle. If he'd done any courses in America, we'd be hailing him as another Alister Mackenzie."


David S, Garland B, et al:

Congrats on the mentioning of William H. Diddel.

"His cleverly contoured putting surfaces from Wichita to Hot Springs are comparabable to those done by the master of green slopes, Perry Maxwell."

SPDB:

Congrats on mentioning ... Wayne Stiles.

"People still mistake his many New England designs, like Taconic in MA and Nashua in NH, as those of Donald Ross."

* * *

Recapping the listed people thus far ...

#1 = Tom Simpson (1886-1964)

#2 = Walter Travis (1861-1927)

#3 = Herbert Strong (1879-1944)

#4 =

#5 = William H. Diddel (1884-1985)

#6 = William B. Langford (1887-1977)

#7 = Wayne Stiles (1884-1953)

#8 = ?

#9 = ?

#10 = ?

Kirk G:

Congrats ...

You didn't flush out the complete Bell name but you will receive credit !

William P. Bell ... "The man behind George C. Thomas Jr.'s California masterpieces like Riviera. Also designed terrific courses like LaJolla and Stanford."

Mr. Bell is the #4 listed person.



#1 = Tom Simpson (1886-1964)

#2 = Walter Travis (1861-1927)

#3 = Herbert Strong (1879-1944)

#4 = William P. Bell (1886-1953)

#5 = William H. Diddel (1884-1985)

Has anyone mentioned Bobby Weed or Steve Smyers? If we include architects who specialize in restorations, I nominate Ron Pritchard and Ron Forse.

Perhaps... Donald Steel?  He's done a ton of work around the world.... most pre-1999.

Mark, I already mentioned Alex Russell (as well as Eric Apperly) a few days ago, but I assume Mr Ron Whitten doesn't consider Australia or New Zealand worthy of his time.  ;)
