Robert Mercer Deruntz:
Better known today as Glen Head CC. The official club web site has a wonderful first person account of how the club came to exist today. This is a wonderful Devereaux Emmett course with some great holes. It is very much in need of a restoration--especially a significant tree removal program. Due to a late tee off, the last couple of holes are missing, but will be added sometime in the future.
These two photos show how wonderfully Emmett used the ridge as the greensight
This is the 7th, a downhill 220 yard hole with a very severe dropoff on the right which it shares with the previous par 3

Hello Robert. Thanks for the pictures.
None of the tee shots appear particularly constrained by the trees to me.
There are a number of different species used. If there's a defect in the trees position/location/visuals, it seems that the tree heights are too similar and perhaps the greens might too frequently be in the shadows of the trees. What trees do you think should be removed?
corey miller:
With all due respect Joe, the first picture has in excess of 100 trees that need to be removed. Most every course in the Met area would benefit from tree removal.
Jon Wiggett:
Robert,
great pictures. The second green especially is an excellent example of how to make a man made green site look balanced and fit into the landscape. Some of the bunkering looked a bit goofy on some of the last few visible photos but maybe that was just the light.
