Chicago Aerial: Twin Orchards Langford

<< < (3/3)

Yes. The section of the course near the clubhouse looks different from the lower section. The lower section looks like protypical Langford, the upper section not so much.

Peter Flory:
I couldn't find anything really relevant to this that was more recent, so I'm reviving a very dormant thread for this.  Also, I figure that Dan Moore probably has more information on this.

I just did a basic coloring of the NLE Langford course- Twin Orchard and put some lines in to show the routing.  I have the image as a transparency over O'Hare, so you may see some of the underlying modern features faintly in the image.

It looks like quite a shame that this course didn't survive.  It's so imaginative.  Once I get it fully unskewed and aligned, I can calculate the yardages with google earth and the pars.  Most of the pars are obvious, but I'm guessing that one or more of the holes in the 450-470 range are short par 5s and not long par 4s.
