George S. "Pop" Merrit was an early Pacific Northwest golf course architect active in the Seattle area during the early 20th century. While detailed biographical records are sparse, his work reflects the formative era of American golf course design in the region.
His documented design includes Glen Acres Golf & Country Club in Seattle, Washington, which represents the style of courses built during golf's expansion into the American West. The Glen Acres layout demonstrates characteristics of early-century design philosophy adapted to the region's topography.
Merrit's professional activity coincided with a period when golf was establishing itself in Washington State, and local architects were developing courses that would serve growing membership communities around Seattle. His work contributed to the foundation of golf in the Pacific Northwest during these developmental years.
