History & Heritage

Signature Holes

Hole 18 Par 4 · 420 yards

A strong finishing hole using the dramatic elevation changes the course is known for. Demands an accurate approach to close out the round on the rolling Chester County terrain.

What to Expect

Dramatic elevation changes throughout with steep inclines around greens. Despite the challenge, Jones kept bunkering relatively light and fairways generous — more forgiving off the tee than his major championship work.

Cart-only — the terrain is too steep for comfortable walking. Multi-tiered, undulating greens are the primary defense.

Semi-private access at $40-75 — strong value for a Rees Jones design.

Playing Tips

Club selection is critical due to significant elevation changes. Uphill/downhill adjustments of 1-2 clubs are common on nearly every hole.

Fairways are generous — prioritize keeping the ball in play rather than chasing distance.

Green complexes are multi-tiered and undulating. Precise approach shots define your score.

Highlights

✓ Rees Jones Chester County design
