Jeff,
Have you spoken to Ron Forse and/or Jim Nagle? They may have some answers for you or know somebody at the resort that might.

Architects Spencer Oldham, 1895; A.W. Tillinghast, 1912, Donald Ross, 1923
Over the past century, there have been a series of revisions to the golf course at Bedford Springs. Features from Spencer Oldham’s original 18-hole, 6000-yard course that opened in 1895 still exist, including chocolate drops and geometric S-curve and donut bunkers. In 1912, the renowned A.W. Tillinghast created a 9-hole course from what remained of Oldham’s original course, which included the existing Little Par-3 "Tiny Tim.”
In 1923, the most prolific year for golf course construction in the 20th Century, Donald Ross, the master golf course architect, was hired to redesign and expand the Tillinghast course. Ross built upon the best features of the past and created a masterpiece of classic “springs course” architecture. This design has remained virtually untouched ever since.
Donald Ross, known as the “patron saint of American golf architecture,” utilized the natural landscape to create an aesthetically pleasing yet challenging course design. It was hailed upon opening as one of the best courses in Pennsylvania. In 1984, the Bedford Springs Hotel and the Donald Ross Golf Course were recognized as one of the best remaining examples of "springs resort architecture" by the U.S. Department of Interior and designated a National Historic District. All three periods of the Bedford Springs Golf Course design will be incorporated into the resurrected Bedford Springs golf course during the 2006-7 reconstruction, creating something of a golf architectural museum. Golfers at Bedford Springs will experience three historically significant eras of American golf and the work of three golf architectural masters in one cohesive, harmonized classic composition. These include, the Primitive American Era (pre-1910, characterized by geometric or "steeplechase" features); early A.W. Tillinghast (1909-1915); and Classic 1920s Donald Ross. The dominant feel of the reconstructed Bedford Springs course will be Donald Ross, with the other eras well integrated into the whole. A unique aspect of the course restoration will be the complete refurbishment of 6200 linear feet of Shober’s Run, a Gold Medal trout stream meandering through the expanse of the property.
