I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but NFCC is no longer a Tillinghast design. The 18th hole was a short four that was truncated into a mid-length par three. The holes along the gorge were lost to that b@stard Robert Moses, who inflicted irreparable harm on New York State. Robert Trent Jones the elder and Geoffrey Cornish also came in and undid Tilly's work. Finally, a new second hole was built (actually better than the original) to afford a short-game practice area.
What you have is a very nice course that is a hybrid of so many design styles. It is a true American classic. It is a wonderful host to the Porter Cup.
Many talk about the sixth hole at CCB as the podium's peak. It is one of four challenging 3s on the course. The most difficult is 16. The most scenic is 6. The most underrated is 8, and the most fun is 12. The first and eighteenth are on the western side of Youngs Road, and the remainder of the course lies to the east. Tunnels from 1>2 and 17>18 get you there and back again. The 17th hole is the only one that was not returned to its original, Ross trace. That's a story for another sort to tell, on another occasion.
In both championships, the stretch from 14-16 will determine the champions.
