The Harry Colt Project exists to create a curated archive of the life and work of golf course architect, Harry Colt. Below is a chronological list of Harry Colt golf courses. The information has been gleaned from Donald Steel’s books: Classic Golf Links & The Golf Course Guide, Cornish & Whitten’s The Architects of Golf, Fred Hawtree’s book Colt & Co. as well as individual club websites.
There are no doubt inaccuracies and errors as much of the work undertaken previously was done before the digital age. Comments have been opened below to allow feedback and the ability to help edit this list. We welcome your help!
