FLOURTOWN, Pa. — Sitting in a wood-paneled lounge under the guise of A.W. Tillinghast’s portrait, one can’t help but wonder what he thought when he looked out on the rolling piece of Pennsylvania farmland with a train track running through the middle that lay just outside these walls.
Tillinghast was one of the most renowned golf course architects in America at the time, having already designed Somerset Hills Country Club (1917), Quaker Ridge Golf Club (1918), Baltusrol Golf Club (1922), and consulted with George Crump on the widely considered No. 1 course in the country, Pine Valley Golf Club (1913).
