Tillinghast and Harmon Golf Course, Lebanon, Oh.
Bill Shamleffer:
I currently live in Lebanon, Oh; a small town in the outer-burbs of Cincinnati.
The town of Lebanon has a little 9 hole course blocks from the center of town.
Supposedly it was built as a 5 hole course in 1912, and at some point extended to 9 holes.
Per the Wikipedia list of courses designed by Tillinghast, he is the original designer of 9-holer Harmon CC in Lebanon NY. However, Lebanon NY does not have a Harmon CC.
Is Harmon GC of Lebanon Oh a Tillinghast design?
Karl Jensen:
Bill, The Tillinghast golf course was at a place called Harmon on Hudson near Croton on Hudson, New York. See link below.

Bill Shamleffer:
Karl, Thank you for that info. That makes sense. My wife told me there are many Harmon parks all over the country.
John Nixon:
I grew up in Lebanon, lived there until I moved to Indiana post-college in '82. Never thought I'd see Harmon mentioned here.
The course's own website mentions the possibility of being a Tillinghast course, but comes to no definitive conclusion. I've never played it, taking up the game after I'd moved away. I did play baseball at the adjacent Harmon Park diamonds (NLE).

Karl,
Was there a Harmon CC at Harmon-on-Hudson?
I just looked through Cornish & Written’s THE GOLF COURSE, and the only Harmon golf course they have listed is for Lebanon, NY. No other Harmon golf courses are listed. It still seems possible to me that Harmon GC in Lebanon, Oh. might be a Tillinghast design.
