Course Overview
Keith Foster’s 2013 restoration, which features both great variety and spaciousness, brought all of A.W. Tillinghast’s design sparkle back. Some greens are open across the front and beg for a running shot while others are perched and heavily defended. The design reflects Tillinghast’s genius for diverse green settings. His famous trademark, the Great Hazard (a mammoth central bunker that bisects the fairway), is particularly well done at PCC’s 7th hole. The course also is home to one of the East Coast’s best finishers, a tough risk-reward par-4 with a creek that comes into play if you don’t hug the left side of the fairway off the tee.
