A.W. Tillinghast, a wealthy Philadelphian, designed Winged Foot, Baltusrol, Bethpage Black and San Francisco Golf Club, mostly during the 1920s. His holes are strong and clear: deep flanking bunkers, pear-shaped greens and routings that change direction and demand from hole to hole. Recent restorations have returned much of the scale that decades of maintenance had shrunk.
