Help Needed Identifying GCA's for a 11 Lesser Known Tracks
« on: November 12, 2010, 10:28:00 AM »
I'm currently working on a personal list of courses played, and am trying to organize the list to see how many course I have played by a given architect.  The 11 lesser known routing below are the last of the list, but I cannot find a listed architect(s) for any of them.  Does anyone out there recognize the courses listed and/or know the responsible architects?  Consider this a challenge! 

Cape Ann Golf Course Ipswich, MA*
Cobleskill Golf & Country Club Cobleskill, NY
Elmcrest Country Club Longmeadow, MA....Geoffrey Cornish?
Granite Fields Golf Club Kingston, NH
Grassmere Country Club Enfield, CT*
Jefferson District Park & Golf Course Falls Church, VA*/**
Olde Salem Greens Golf Course Salem, MA*
Southwick Country Club Southwick, MA
University Club of Connecticut, The Willimantic, CT (Formerly Willimantic CC)
Weekapaug Golf Club Westerly, RI*
Willow Brook Golf Course South Windsor, CT**

*Nine Holes
**Executive Course

Nick,
Cobleskill is an old nine by Len Rayner and I'll see if I can find out who did the new nine.

Jim, Thanks.  I played there in 2001 when I was looking at colleges (SUNY Cobleskill).  The only thing I remember about Cobleskill CC was the fact that the new holes (3-4, 11-17) looked and played completely different from the original holes.

Nick,
Grassmere is a Cornish design.

Yes, those are the new holes at Cobleskill.

You can't exhaust the internet  ;D

CtGolfer had some info about Willow Brook, and a complete list of Cornish courses showed Grassmere as his, but Elmcrest isn't on that list.

Secors Brothers for Elmcrest. I don't know if that's one man, brothers, or a company.  


edit: 'The' doesn't preface 'Secors Brothers' in any of the places I looked.

Has anyone played Weekapaug since the work by Dave Zinkand, and what did you think.

Nick,

Grassmere (CT) is Geoffrey Cornish, 1965

Unfortunately, that's all I have at the moment.
