Some Old Highlands Links Pictures

One of my objectives with this blog is to provide the reader with some Highlands Links history starting with the events leading up to the decision to build the course and following along with noteworthy events up to today. I thought I would share some very early pictures of the course so as to set the stage. I hope you enjoy viewing these pictures.

This is a 1936 aerial photograph of the main portion of the land that
the golf course was built on.

This is the original Stanley Thompson drawing showing
the course layout. Most likely dated 1937. Interesting to note
that number 12 tee was originally planned to be located
across the Clyburn River

Highlands Links was built with only two pieces of heavy
equipment. The men who built the course 1938

Herb and Earl Donovan 1938 - Sixth fairway.

Number 1 - Ben Franey circa 1941
