photo tour of Valley CC (Conyngham, PA): a Tillinghast design

Joe, that would compete with the day we spent together at the Philadelphia Library doing separate research on microphiche machines next to each other about 18 years ago or so...

Valley CC opens with a par 5, the No. 1 stroke hole. It is fairly straight and plays a bit uphill with a sloped fairway tee to green. I think your better player will view it as a birdie opp as it tips out at 524 yards. You know you’re at an old school course when you arrive at the green! A deep bunker left, and another one right are no bargain. It looks to my semi-trained eye to be beautifully executed cut-and-fill technique.

Yes, I do like how the green is benched into the hill in phases with the bunkers. Looks like it could be in England. Thanks for posting Joe.
