While the Dellwood first hole second shot leaves you with a Yaleish view, the terrain is NOT that rugged:
The second hole gives you a gentle bounce in to contrast with the first:
The bunkering on the third hole was well done - maybe a bit modern. I have not seen any of the original Tilly drawings:
Bill Steele was able to navigate a bit short:
Lots of quirk and funk which you don't see on a typical Tilly. This was a pleasant surprise for me:
Fabulous green sites that just needed a little cleaning up:
The road cuts through 1 and 7 similar to National and Shinnecock but it is really in the landing zones, so that will need to be addressed. I liked how it played as a hazard now but the club's insurance company must have fits:
Mike Young and the group played the forward tee as the 7th will probably be shortened to a Par 4 to take the road out of play, and yes Mike Young the Architect can play:
As previously posted, Mike looking for Old Dead Guys
:
These holes could probably use some new/restored fairway bunkering, but the terrain does not need too much:
Fabulous Short Par 4 #14 (I think) from a bad camera angle. Would love to see the original bunker drawings/aerial:
Maybe a little tree work here and there, but not much:
I did not get any pictures of the greens as they were too much fun to putt to take pictures. They were all outstanding and seemed pretty original to me.
Oh and the Boys from Georgia smoked us in our backyard (if you consider Bill's Ohio part of the yard):
