A quick search of the archives shows this Arnold Palmer course north of Philly has been discussed previously, but little in the way of photos:

The course is built within an office park. Some people just hate that setting; for me, no big deal. There are plenty of hazards, OB, etc. I cannot emphasize enough to play the proper tees at CN or you might have a long day. From the tips the course is a whopping 74.6/151. My group played the member tees at around 6400 and 71.1/138. This place does not suffer hackers gladly. Or maybe it does.
Previously the site was a 36 hole golf course by George Fazio, called Hidden Springs.
Here is the routing:
I'll put up the first three holes today (two are par 5's) before I head out for a round of golf in Maryland.
#1. Par 5. Fairly simple opener, where the green is a good representation of what is to come, not overly contoured. The hole is called "runway" as to the left is a runway for the former Willow Grove air station.

#2. Par 4. An elevated tee shot and elevated green on this "Road Hole".
