Stanley Thompson was one of the world's greatest golf course designers; a Canadian who was world famous, Thompson is not as well known locally as he should be. His work certainly is famous among golfers world wide. Among many other courses he designed Jasper Park in 1924. This post has a picture of Sleepy Hollow (also built 1924).
A leader of golf course designers on a par with Donald Ross, Alister Mackenzie and A W Tillinghast, Thompson was born in Toronto in 1894 and died in Guelph in 1952.
