I would think that this section
would be the easiest to complete. Wrong!! I have taken a
look at a variety of sources and have found that the history of the
course is fraught
with conflicting or difficult to sort out
information. One source has Stanley Thomson personally setting
each blade of grass while another source has him only signing the plans
for the
course. However, there are some interesting pictures and
information that is reliable for those with an interest in the
development of the course.
The original design was a nine hole course that was put into action in 1929 with a second nine holes added in 1939.
The following pictures show some of the development of the course when it was first constructed. The first shows the plan of the course while the second shows players on the course with the "Prince of Wales" and the Bertha valley in the background. I will make periodic changes to this section as information becomes available and to show more of the interesting pictures I have.
