I remember the first time I played SHCC. My host was my employer, who was a long-time member (who unfortunately passed on about 2 years ago).  Our caddy told me where to hit the ball on the Redan; I did and was rewarded.  I did get on the incorrect side of the mounds on #5 green.....we all laughed where my 1st putt finished!!

Thanks for the photos; what a great place to play.

Bill,

I agree on both points, SH is exhibit "A" in restoration work and it is fun, passing my back to the first tee test with flying colors.

Who would have thought that AWT would copy some of the templates ?

I was surprised at AWT's use of the templates. His Redan is SO good here, I wish he had built more.

I had planned on posting a few photos taken on my iphone, but no way am I going to compete with Jon!

Cool course.

Apologies for bumping an old thread, but I was going through some old photos last night and found a few shots of Somerset Hills that did not make it in to the original course tour.  Since the response to this thread was overwhelmingly positive, and since Somerset Hills remains one of my favorite places, I thought it would be worthwhile to post them.


Hope you enjoy.

Those photos are the gold standard for Somerset Hills.


Now if you want some other elemental version of SH, go here (grin):

LOVE Somerset Hills, and those are fabulous photos - I'm curious about the shocking number of young trees in the 'Dawn' photo and the 'Orchard' photo - are those for border screens or some other purpose?

[Jon Cavalier]

Keith:

Those are apple trees. They are the "orchard" between the first and ninth holes. There are a few more to the right of the first fairway. Pretty cool feature.

If you head up to the original tour, you can see some better shots showing the apples.

Jon
