Harry Colt was the first full-time golf architect and the man who made heathland golf, with Sunningdale New, Swinley Forest, Wentworth and the Dunluce course at Royal Portrush. He routed for variety, set greens on natural rises and used trees and heather to frame holes. His firm, with Hugh Alison and Alister MacKenzie, worked across Europe and North America.
