   Golf Course Information


Description

"Create a golf course that will be as challenging as Pine Valley." Those were the words of James "Dutch" Himmelein as he gave instructions to the William F. Gordon Company back in 1963. The William F. Gordon Company had designed other courses in the Philadelphia area, including Saucon Valley Country Club, Indian Creek, Philadelphia Country Club and the Pine Course at the Seaview Resort. In May 1964, the "Sunny Jim Golf Club" was born.

On 152 acres of land was a 7,345 yard, par 72 course that punished even the best players. The fairway landing areas averaged less than 30 yards in width and were lined with trees. Although there were only 64 sand bunkers on the course, many were quite large. Greenside bunkers had vertical faces over four feet high, forcing players to blast out sideways. The greens were spacious, undulating and complex, allowing numerous cup positions and leading to many three-putts. It is clear to see why Sunny Jim's was dubbed "The Magnificent Monster of Medford" in a 1964 Philadelphia Golfer Magazine. In fact, the course was so challenging that Mr. Himmelein offered $1,000 to the first person to break par. Bert Yancey, a Tour regular at the time gave it his best effort for the prize, but a 79 was his end result. He said, "there isn't an unfair shot on the whole layout, and I don't recall anywhere that you can miss a shot and not be penalized." When asked what score would win a tournament here, Yancey mulled the question for a moment and then said that he would be glad to take a 300 and let the rest of the field shoot at it.
