A very interesting course not too far from Stonewall and French Creek. I've played there a few times. Tom Fazio did the routing for the Piazza's but backed out of the design because of too much business elsewhere, so the story goes. The Piazza's were left with a course where they could not market the Fazio name and consequently membership never took off. They have now dropped the amount of the membership deposit according to the website.
The first 14 holes and the 18th are on the clubhouse side of the property are pretty good. The 15th to 17th on the other side of the road are pigeonholed and contrived.
Here's an excerpt from an article from a few years ago identifying the architect as Tom Drauschak. He may have been involved in the construction of French Creek or Stonewall.
www.golfonline.com/golfonline/features/18holeswith/article/0,17742,704024-1,00.htmlFor membership at Bellewood -- which Piazza co-owns with his dad, Vince, and a family friend -- he charges $25,000. (Too rich for your blood? Greens fees at public Westover Golf Club, the Piazzas' golf property in nearby Norristown, Pennsylvania, run $49). The views alone might make you reach for your wallet. Piazza, 35, fell in love with Bellewood's 200 acres of forest and farmland long before buying the property in 1998 for $15 million. When he was a child, his mother, Veronica, took her five sons for Sunday drives amid the area's sylvan splendor. After Tom Fazio devised the routing, Piazza made certain that course architect Tom Drauschak preserved the 3,000 pink dogwoods that dot the grounds. He also wanted an elevated tee on the 389-yard, par-4 1st hole, to give players a better view of the landing area, which is barely bigger than a Hula-Hoop. "There are plenty of armchair architects, but Mike's different," says Drauschak. "He spent a lot of time in the field and had some helpful suggestions."
