Charles Hugh Alison

Charles Hugh Alison

Charles Hugh Alison (1882 – October 20, 1952) was a British golf course architect. He worked predominantly with Harry Colt, John Morrison, and Alister MacKenzie, in 1928 forming Colt, Alison & Morrison Ltd.

Alison served in both World War I and World War II decoding ciphers.

One of Alison's most-respected designed is Milwaukee Country Club (1929), co-designed with Colt, which was ranked among the Top 50 golf courses in America by Golf Digest in 2007. Another endearing Colt-Alison design is Century Country Club (1927) in Purchase, New York. On April 26, 1922, The New York Times announced that Colt, MacKenzie & Alison of London would be developing the new Century golf course on 180 acres (0.73 km2) of pristine countryside. The course's architects are listed as Colt and Alison but MacKenzie's influence is embued throughout the 18 holes.
