Description: You are bidding on a custom print of the Maidstone Club's course layout.- "Challenging and distinctly charming with its windswept landscape" Maidstone occupies an enviable, if slightly disjointed property along Long Island's southern shore, a site that includes not only a bit of flattish inland terrain, but also some splendid Oceanside land, that in spots, might pass for a genuine links. Following a forthright 380 yard opening hole, Willie Park Jnr's Maidstone layout hits its stride at the 537 yard 2nd - a straight hole flanked closely by a road(OB) and played to an angled green modeled loosely on that of the well known "Road" Hole at St. Andrews. The 408 yard 3rd is another solid test-routed dead into the prevailing breeze, its green is small and heavily bunkered-- before the wide expanse of Hook pond is encountered and the challenge picks up in earnest. After briefly turning inland, play returns to the sea at the 490 yard 13th, an into the breeze par 5 whose long and narrow green sits among the dunes flanked by a very deep grass faced bunker. This is just a warm up, however, for Maidstone's 2nd renowned hole, the idyllic 14th at 148 yards. Here stands a tricky one shotter that would be at home on even the finest British links, a tiny windblown test that is 100% carry to a green surrounded by a wasteland of rough-hewn hillocks, pot bunkers, and the beach itself to the rear of the green. And finally, although somewhat less challenging that in Willie Park Jnr's day, the 328 yard 17th remains a gem, One final carry across Hook pond is required on the tee shot, and it allows the opportunity to perhaps reach a nearby spot to the green, yet the rub, however, is a tiny angled surface that actually opens up more readily from the safer right side. Though notably short in today's era of new equipment, Maidstone relies on the ever present elements, deep bunkering and thicket strewn scrub as well as the waters of Hook pond to remain a challenging and distinctively charming course This course map is a rendering and comes in a 17" wide by 11" long print and maps can be framed as seen above in pics a 1-1/2"English Cherry frame is +$125 or a English Blackwood composition frame is +$125 plus the purchase of the map + s/h--a Black composition frame is +$90 + map and s/h Questions... please ask before you bid S/H is $10 in the USA only, other wise will be billed as required This item is presented by Vintage Golf Course Maps.. please visit our site vintagegolfcoursemaps.com and see many more great golf map prints from around the Golf World.
