That's a FASCINATING article -- one of the best things I've read about golf in a long time, Ian.
Interesting how the property was relatively open in the first years -- and what a remarkable influence Thompson has on Canadian golf, all these years later.
So it was restored... it's amazing the job that people do on the field, it's like brand new package, no one will notice about it if they went there for first time, excellent article, thanks for share.
For the past 19 years, I have worked as a Golf Course Architect. In 2006, I opened my own design firm to build the courses that I think golf desperately needs built. Courses that have less earth-moving are less expensive to build and feature far more hand-made detailing to create something special.
I am best known for my restoration work, particularly courses originally designed by Stanley Thompson and Walter Travis. I am member of the American Society of Golf Course Architects.
