Waterton
Lakes Course History
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.
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.
