The fourth is a narrow driving hole that ends on this well-guarded green. Only 310 yards, this is the #5 index. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/24/2025
-
7th, par-4, 331: A typical Tillinghast green is of moderate size–like this one. A moderately difficult hole, but a good one. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/24/2025
-
The eighth is a par-4 of average difficulty, but missed shots still lead to trouble. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/24/2025

Ten, the #1 index, plays uphill over its 409 yards to a relatively small green. The large falloff behind this green can bring about short-game woes. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/24/2025

11th, par-4, 402: On this layout, Tillinghast’s holes retain their genuine parkland character, along with a classic aura not far afield from his famous courses. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/24/2025

The sixteenth: Ron Cultip set this excellent par-5 in an open area, making this 498-yarder a tempting opportunity for big hitters. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/24/2025
-
2nd: Par-4, 393. First of three holes on the difficult “Cat’s Claw.” The green can’t be seen from the fairway’s landing zone. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/08/2021
-
3rd, par-4: Another tricky Tillinghast hole. The Cape design features this marshy hazard curving all the way from tee to green. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/08/2021
-
5th, par-5. The driving zone is relatively open, but your second may cross the stream and must be precise. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/08/2021
-
16, par-5, 498. Terrific hole that encourages you to slam a driver and another long club on the second. Hittable in two, for some. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/08/2021
-
18, par-5, 570. On the second shot, the fairway’s safe side is the right, which better opens up the green. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/08/2021

Another view of 18. As classic as the Tillinghast holes on the front side. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/08/2021

Surprise aeration
The links have always one of my favorite courses but the front nine was closed due to aeration so the plan was to play the back twice no real problem but upon arriving back at the the tenth tee box there was a tremendous bottleneck
We played nine and left unhappy
Nice layout
1st time playing this course. A challenging course layout made for a good experience. The tee boxes leave a lot to be desired and the greens were a pretty slow, but overall it was an enjoyable experience.
Good Value, Good layout
It was a beautiful Saturday and I played with someone I did not know. This was his first time and now will come back with his son.
Great price!
The course is nice and fairly fun to play, unless the foursome or twosome in front of you is playing slow even after the ranger is called to come and get them back on pace, but overall the course is nice and in good shape, and comparing to courses that are in some what close proximity (some crystal springs courses) it’s just as nice but cheaper, even on the weekends.
Slow greens but healthy…
It’s been around 8 years since I last played this course. Overall pretty pleased. Layout is a bit quirky. Directions to each hole could be better. Playing the blues could be hazardous for players playing different holes cause alot of the tee boxes are hidden.
Greens were very slow but I wasn’t unhappy because they were healthy. Once they are cut and rolled they should be presitine. Special shout out to the bartender for the delicious transfusions. Course employees were very gracious and helpful. I would definitely return. Group of 18 guys that came with me and no one complained about the course… just commented on the slow greens
Enjoy playing here. Greens were in great shape. Only issue was on the 10th tee box. A foursome decided to cut the line in front of the group that was in front of us. We didn’t know where they came from. This was in full view of the pro shop, which faces the 10th tee. I made the pro shop employee aware of this. While nice enough, he just shrugged and said he didn’t see or know anything about it. He made it clear he wasn’t going to confront them. This wasn’t the first time I’ve seen this here. I think groups occasionally stop for lunch or drinks at 5he turn, then just jump back in when they feel like it. Pro shop doesn’t monitor or address this. They need to take into account the needs of the groups who don’t stop .
Love this course
I’ve come to enjoy & like playing this course.
Has its challenges yet also offers opportunities to recover too
Great course for all levels of golfers.
Love the course and we got a great deal. Was a little wet in places but we have had a lot of rain and it was early in the morning. Will definitely be playing again.
Good course
Had a great time at this course. The holes are fairly straight and if you can stay on or near fairway you will be fine. Once you go into the woods don't bother looking for your ball, lots of vegetation and overgrowth. The tree lines between holes are well kept and the green were in really good shape. I don't have any negatives about the course; we were able to finish 18 in about 4 hours. We had a great time, and I would definitely be back.
