Crafthole Golf Club, Cornwall. (1907 - WW1)
Willie Fernie of Troon took on the work of laying out the course which began in 1905. The undulating course measured 2,466 yards out and 2,318 yards home. The difference in altitude between the first tee and the sixth green was nearly 300 feet. The 2nd, 3rd, and 10th were all good two shot holes. There were several short holes and drive and pitching holes, the longest was the 17th which measured 450 yards.
The new course of the Crafthole Golf Club was opened on Friday 19 July 1907 by Lady Beatrice Pole Carew, who drove the first ball. The course, laid out on the Antony Estate, was the property of General Sir Reginald Pole Carew, who had been responsible for the formation of the club.
The ex-Open Champions J H Taylor (Mid Surrey) and Harry Vardon (South Herts) played an exhibition match to celebrate the opening of the course. Vardon scored 72 and Taylor 75.
The professional in 1911/12 was A W McDonald.
Eventually became Whitsand Bay Golf Club.
