Stacy,

 

My only example comes from Ohio: Armco Park in Warren County was constructed by Armco Steel Company in Butler County and, if implemented, included an Olmsted-planned landscape (#10025) after 1956. Sources online suggest the park predated this and began in 1934. As planned in 1956, the golf course included 18 holes and 5,907 yards.

 

Searching the Olmsted files might provide more examples. The example above includes a golf course but was called Armco Association Park on their master plan and categorized within Country Clubs, Resorts, Hotels, Clubs at OlmstedOnline.og. 

 

Kind regards,

Kathryn McGrath

I'm looking to establish a context for golf courses that were company-owned
for employee use.  I know of the United Shoe Machinery Corp's course in
Beverly, as well as one in Whitinsville owned by Draper.  Anyone know of
any others?
