Got to play this great Tilly course for the first time a few weeks ago with a good friend
After the sturdy first , a 448 yd (yardages from the champ. tees, 6756) dogleg right, the all world Redan, 205 yards
the uphill 2nd to the 3rd, par 4, 376 yds
the 4th and its dolomites, 457 yds
there might just be an elephant buried in the 5th, 343 yds...
where the racetrack was...the 6th, dogleg right par 5, 501 yds...as my partner said "So many architects would have just bulldozed over that feature"...
ridge in 6th green
an idea of the massive scale of the 484 yd par 4 7th (#1 handicap, trouble all down the right)
the big and testing 230 yd par 3 8th (fairways had just been sanded)
2nd over cross bunkers on the dogleg left uphill true 3 shot par 5, 529 yds...note tilt of the fairway
more to follow...
tee shot of the dogleg right par 4 11th, 412yards... a layup for most ...and that is NOT the green in the background
2nd to 11..those trees on the right do block approaches from the right side of the fairway
the green we saw on the 11th was the green for this hole, the short but dangerous downhill par 3 12th, 151 yards
13th green, a Biarritz (par par 4, 409 yds, with a blind landing area off the tee)
downhill approach on the wonderful 15th, a dogleg right , 407yds...note the creek in front
the fine par 3 16th, 170 yds
DOWNHILL approach to 17, 387 yds
So many great golf holes at Tilly's most unique design..thanks much to Adam Machala, the pro, for a truly wonderful day
