2 hours of the North West of NYC, a beautiful Tillinghaust and Joe finger golf course lies among the ruins of an once prosperous station in the Catskills. For those of you not familiar with Tillinghaust, it is one of the architects large classes of all time. His work includes Bethpage Black, winged foot and Baltusrol. Records are missing, but it seems designed nine-hole Tilli and Joe Finger comes in later. The course of Big G to of the Grossinger is all that's left of a famous station hosted Arnold Palmer and Sam Snead. Closed in 1987, the Grossinger was made famous for being the inspiration for the movie Dirty Dancing.
My first reaction when I arrived to reconsider this course was to be poorly maintained given the appearance of the old station. But in fact are in great condition. Nice alleys and beautiful green moderate speed.
In terms of difficulty, this course will challenge all aspects of your game. 7000 Yards from the back tees is quite certainly long. There are two ways to avoid a very long shot in green from many sides, forcing you to shape the ball. Holes par 5 also try your course management by all being accessible in 2 shots but with difficult approaches. Even with all that, the most difficult aspect of course have to be green. They are very undulating and allowing certain investments really nasty PIN. The speed must remain moderate just to keep the ball immediately drag green.
The signature hole # 13 has become my public hole preferred in driving distance to NYC. It starts on a tee box elevate and requires a drive to a narrow strip of fairway with water on trees left and the right. With a good reader you'll always have an extremely difficult long iron to a Green Island set in a beautiful Lake in remote.
Classic Tillighuast and Joe finger courses-Courses with it a track and long history is difficult to find.Plenty of water-Beautiful lakes, including a Green Island.Greens – They are in great condition.Travel - it is far from the city. Probably the reason why the rest of the station met its demise in 1987.
