Jeffersonville and LuLu are two big gaps on my Philly resume. Thanks for posting this.
My God. Really?
Throw in Gulph Mills, and you have a conspiracy theory against Donald Ross in Philly
I will go so far as to say that if they get this short course in, Jeffersonville should be submitted for "147 Custodian" status...
It's been submitted.
Might be disqualified if they still have the ridiculous mandatory cart before 11AM on weekends and holidays policy.
I'm not sure how I feel about the short course. Jeffersonville lacks a proper range, ostensibly, as the area in question was the range that never opened. I think the location of the entrance road is the problem as it is very much in play and nets are hideous and expensive.
Coincidentally, on the original Ross/McGovern routing this area is where the 16th hole was located. The shaping is still out there in the field. I have no idea when the hole was abandoned - probably in the George Fazio area. The current 6th green and 7th tee is what replaced the original 16th. That's why the 9th actually plays away from the clubhouse with the 10th coming back. There is a scorecard with a routing in that configuration that ends on the Par-3 12th!
Fun fact: Jeffersonville was Tom Fazio's home course growing up.
