The course

Tillinghast drew Winged Foot, Baltusrol and Bethpage Black. One of his courses is inside the Tallahassee city limits, and it has more elevation in it than anything else in the region.

The shape of the round

Every bar is one hole, drawn to its yardage from the Blue tee and shaded by par. The course opens with four par fours in the first five, turns at the ninth after back to back par fives, and finishes on a five.
