Not sure if you are compiling a list or not, but you could add two golf courses from Winnipeg, Manitoba to the list, both NLE;

Southwood Golf & Country Club
Winnipeg Golf Club

 Thanks, I updated the list.

B-I don't see Maidstone on the list.

    I think, after much hand wringing, it has been determined that Philmont (outside Philly) is a Park, not a Flynn.

Jim,

  Could the north course be the Flynn and South course be the Park Jr?  The clubs website isn't specific in that regard.  http://www.philmontcc.org/Default.aspx?p=DynamicModule&pageid=377030&ssid=293039&vnf=1

Just use the search function guys and you'd find all the Philmont stuff you want.   

Flynn did not design anything at Philmont, IMHO.  The North course is a Park course.

[James Boon]

BC,

Its a pedantic point I'm afraid, but the entry for Notts should really read "Notts Golf Club (Hollinwell)" as that is the full title.

Notts being the club, which was previously at a couple of other courses in the later part of the 19th Century (one now known as Bulwell Forest was also laid out by Park Jnr I think?) before moving to its current course known as Hollinwell in 1901 the original layout for which was done by Park Jnr.

Cheers,

James

You could cross check from this list:

plus:
Congress Lake Club - Ohio
Ashland – Ohio
Burhill (Old) GC -Surrey

[BCowan]

Thanks Jim,

 sorry about the duplicate thread, i didn't scroll to the very bottom to see the other thread.

The membership was quite taken by this new game and requested more. In 1926 when more land became available, the club’s commissioned the greatest course architect in history, Donald Ross, to rework the Park original routing. Ross creations are legendary and include Pinehurst, Oak Hill, Seminole, and most of the great courses of all time. He modified the first seven holes and designed the next ten. The original Park design of #18 was kept intact by Mr. Ross. The Donald Ross Course at Congress Lake opened for play in 1932 and has become our most famous asset.

Congress lake has Ross routing in it too.  Ross/Park track...

I thought Tom Macwood uncovered that Toledo CC was William Watson?

The current 18 at Toledo was built in 1911. Willie Park, Jr moved permanently to the US in 1916 (after a couple visits in the mid-90s). When I pointed this out to the club they had little interest. I knew it wasn't Park in 1911, but Watson was not someone I suspected. Willie Park did redesign the course later, and listed it, my guess that was around 1919 around the time he built Sylvania.

Rick Smith was an asst pro at TCC.

-Came across an article saying WPjr  laid-out Knollwood CC (Westchester) in 1895, but his work was already being remodeled one year later.

-An 18 hole course for the Societie de Golf at Paris,  on sandy and well-turfed ground near Versailles.

[ward peyronnin]

Can anyone comment on the Peterhead Courses. These are near enough Cruden Bay and I winder should I take a look when I am there?

I have sung the praises of BurntIsland many times on this site

[Niall Hay]

How many holes did he do at Meadowbrook Country Club - Private in (Northville, MI)?

[SL_Solow]

I believe he did OFCC North, most recently renovated by Mark Mungeam.  OFCC South is a composite from parts of OFCC's other courses largely Tom Bendelow, most recently renovated by Steve Smyers.  Both had work done by Jack Daray and the Packards from time to time.

I don't care who originally did it or remodeled it, only a large bomb can help that place now.

Hi Ben,

Here in Quebec, you can add these two courses to the list:

Mount Bruno Country Club, St-Bruno, QC
Club de Golf Islesmere (Blue and White nines), Laval, QC

His name is also associated with past versions of the following clubs:
Whitlock Golf & Country Club, Hudson-Heights, QC
Beaconsfield GC, Beaconsfield, QC
Royal Montreal, Dorval, QC (NLE)

I also believe that a few Willie Park holes remain at the 9-hole Dorval Municipal course in Dorval, QC.  The shaping of these few holes is very similar to shaping that can be found at Laval-sur-le-Lac and Islesmere.  Those holes were once part of the Elm Ridge Country Club which later moved to Ile Bizard, QC.

I hope this will help.

I didn't realise Bulwell was a Park Jnr too, though to be honest I'd never bothered to even think about who designed it. I've always quite liked it, far more interesting than the other muni's in Nottingham and you always see some interesting sights from the local estate too.....It's pretty tight on space now but the routing covers the hillier parts of the course well which does seem quite Park like so you could well be right.

If you want fast & firm it's always a good bet during the summer!

[Tony_Muldoon]

I had thought Portstewart should be added to the list but it appears he only did some revisions.
