Salen Hotel, Isle Of Mull.

Salen Hotel Golf Course. Laid out 1921.( Salen's Third course.)

   "Golfing enthusiasm in Salen, which lay dormant during the years of the war, was revived last year when, owing to the kindness of Mr MacPhee, a five hole course was laid out on the Hotel Grounds. The club was re-established, and the course became exceedingly popular, affording pleasure to summer visitors as well as to the large number of local members. Matches, played on the Tobermory, Glengorm, and Torosay courses, greatly stimulated interest in the game and made the need for a suitable course at Salen more keenly felt." (OT 10.6.1922)

Harry Ward is a respected golf historian known for his detailed research into the origins and development of the game, particularly in Scotland. His work explores the early courses, players, and traditions that shaped modern golf, bringing to life the stories behind iconic venues and figures. Through careful study and a passion for the sport’s heritage, he helps preserve golf’s rich history for future generations.

All of this work is independently funded out of his own pocket. If you value preserving golf’s history and would like to support his ongoing research, any contribution—no matter how small—would be greatly appreciated.
