Possibly there were a few too many fronting creeks on the par threes in the original. But, some holes would have been veeeery good. #3 already known as a wonderful short hole , #5 as a unique par four in the way the creek is used , #6 a classic uphill par four , #7 we already know its appeal; it is often seen as the best hole now but back then had tough competition!! ,#9 would use the slope in a very appealing way for the drive to a green we already love , #10 would rival #10 at Rolling Green!!!, #11 would be all world , requiring three well struck shots and the proper use of the slope to run the ball on the green , #12 would be relatively common today but a memorable one then, as the article says ,how good was #13 ? was it like #12 at Torresdale or #9 at North Hills with an angled carry , we can only speculate on #14, and the remaining holes #15 ,#16 , and the approach to #18 are already fun as we play them today.
The title of the article says it all---
" One of the finest and best laid out in the country"
