Thank you, Joe, for posting this photo tour! For those who have not played Valley, it has to be one of Tillinghast's most fun layouts.
Joe is correct when saying that the shorter course yardage is not indicative of an easy golf course; if golfers find themselves out of position, particularly around the greens, they will face difficult shots.
After playing Valley a few times, you start to learn where on the green (or off!) you need to land your golf ball to get it near the hole. The second hole's green may be one of the best examples I have seen of using green contours on your approach to have a manageable / makeable putt; hole Nos. 1-6, 9-10, and 14 have discernible contours for golfers to use.
