About
Robert Elder is a golf course architect whose name appears occasionally in discussions of course design, though publicly available records offer very limited information about his projects and career highlights. Unlike many of the renowned figures in golf architecture, such as Robert Trent Jones or Harry Colt, detailed documentation of Elder’s design style, portfolio, and professional influence is lacking in major publications or industry listings. As a result, any assessment of his golfing career or biographical significance cannot be substantiated through well-known sources and appears to be largely absent from standard references and historical records in the field of golf architecture.
