Where does this Tillinghast course stand in this competitive area of Golden Age courses?

Timely post - the NJ father-son is there tomorrow morning and I had to bail given my 'golfers elbow' - I've never played Forest Hill but interested in others' opinions.

Can only see the thumbnails, but mowing lines and trees could be improved.  It says a green expansion happened based on old green blueprints, was there an arch or just done in-house?

It's a neat little course that's land locked.
 
You have to be very accurate off the tee.
 
It finishes with a difficult uphill par 3.
 
Be back later.

Not the best aerial, but taken a few years after the course was built



I believe these are 50s era photos of the 12th, 13th, 12th and 18th :

Sorry Pat, no names attached to the faces. Here's one more, also w/o names:

ed: the photos of the course and the players will enlarge by clicking on them, but not the aerial.
