RE: Scarsdale GC
I feel compelled to come to the defense of Scarsdale as I have deep family roots there. I would describe the golf course as "sporty".
As Tom Doak pointed out some properties are more challenging than others. Scarsdale, in my opinion, would be high on that list. There are three very abrupt par threes either uphill or downhill that facilitate transitions around the property that otherwise would have been near impossible. The rocky terrain and severe undulations of the land also have led to a routing that provides an unfortunate quantity of blind shots. Not a fun place to play if unfamiliar with the course.
I may get severely flamed on this one but one Tilly course I thought was rather ho-hum and forgettable was Philly Cricket's Flourtown layout. Admittedly, this was many years ago and that nearby Llme mine makes for some fantastic grass!
