William B. Langford was a golf course designer and civil engineer from Austin, Illinois. He graduated from both Yale and Columbia University. During the golden age of golf design between the world wars, he produced many great golf courses primarily in the Midwest states. Langford’s work is reminiscent of golf course designers Seth Raynor, Charles Banks and Charles B. Macdonald. Along with Theodore Moreau, he produced over 200 golf courses. Some of the best include Wakonda in Des Moines, Iowa, Harrison Hills in Attica, Indiana, Skokie Country Club in Glencoe, Illinois,〔http://www.skokiecc.com/Default.aspx?p=DynamicModule&pageid=329360&ssid=225062&vnf=1〕 Maxinkuckee in Culver, Indiana (played often by Roy, Pete and Alice Dye early in their careers), Ozaukee in Mequon, Wisconsin, Lawsonia in Green Lake, Wisconsin, and Happy Hollow in Omaha, Nebraska.〔The Architects of Golf, Geoffrey S.
