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

Scam
The owner or the manager Charlie runs a scam. Doesn’t like the golf now hot deal so won’t give certain people carts and forces them to ride with random people to save $3 in gas. Total idiot.

Hello, I apologize for the experience that day we had a new afternoon league show up with more golfers then expected and many of them had never played the course before so things did get a little backed up. If you would like to contact us for a complementary afternoon round I would be happy to accommodate you. Thank you in advance for understanding the unusual situation. Drew Koch, Owner

Fun Course
Love this course family used to be members when it was known as Port Jervis CC. Played it 100's of times.
Only complaint & it's minor. The leaves weren't blown off fairways. But understandable because staff was probably @ minimal & it is November. The bunkers could use work.

Course Layout
Hi Chris, sorry you had a bad experience, Charlie is just following policy of pairing up all singles who booked with another single at the same time, which is what almost every course does. If you booked as a single with a threesome you would be paired with that single as well It is not a matter of the $3 in gas, it is more for the reason that singles mess up the pace of play of the course and we have the the correct amount of carts based on using them two golfers per cart and based on the time it takes for a foursome to play. It has nothing to do with GolfNow's Hot Deal as we ask the same from our Members and all other Golfers. I am sorry you didn't realize this policy and would be happy to offer you a complementary weekday round for the confusion if you wanted to come back. Drew Koch, Owner
