The Woodholme Country Club layout is a somewhat underrated Herbert Strong design from the late 1920s. Some feel that shortening one or two of the four par fives on the back nine to long par fours would turn this classic old course into a serious championship layout.

Woodholme
The course at Woodholme Country Club is a somewhat underrated Herbert Strong design from 1928 which Ed Ault revised in the mid-1960s and mid-1970s.
Writing in The American Private Golf Club Guide, author Daniel Wexler commented as follows:
“A low-profile operation, though somewhat altered, manages to retain a classic feeling today. Playing to an unconventional par of 73, it bears the oddity of having four par 5s on its incoming half – though with two or three of them potentially shortened to par 4s, this might become one very strong championship layout indeed… A bit overlooked nationally, but pretty solid stuff.”
