Tillinghast made great use of the natural rolling landscape on the East course. His large greens with plenty of undulation make for some quick and adventurous putts. Great course for the big stick, but your approach and distance control better be good or Tilly makes you pay.

Total class and impeccable conditioning and service. Caddies are great. Only minor complaint would be several similar and not that memorable par 4s.

My favorite free side bunkering of any course I’ve played. Very fun course while also fairly difficult. Fast greens. Perfect fairways and tee boxes. Refreshment stations on almost every hole.

Easily one of my favorite course I have ever played. The vibes during the fall with the leaves changing are beautiful here. It’s in the middle of nowhere, very little members. Strictly golf and that’s what amazing about the course. Bunkers and greens are pristine.
