Golf course architect Doug Carrick is leading a project on the East Course at Sunningdale Golf and Country Club in London, Canada, which will see the creation of six new holes.
The East Course was originally designed by Stanley Thompson and built in the early 1930s.
“My mentor C.E. ‘Robbie’ Robinson was a design associate of Thompson’s and was involved in building the course,” Carrick told GCA. “He stayed on as the course superintendent for a few years after the course was built. I began working with Robbie around 1982 and Sunningdale was a club where we spent many days together remodeling various holes. It was also where Robbie schooled me in the design principles and design style employed by Thompson.”
