Beaverkill's
missing
links,
here
reconstructed
from topographical
maps and
recent
footwork
in the
pine forest
that took
its place,
was roughly
defined
by the
Craigie
Clair Road,
the Beaverkill
River and
the Glen
Brook,
which runs
out of
Lake Waneta
to join
the river. The
course's
sporty
9 holes,
spread
over 20
acres,
were all
par 3s
and 4s. Longest
was the
303 yard
6th. Its
tee
was way
down
in the
NW corner
where
brook
and
river
meet. The
6th
green
lay
up beside
the
then
famous
Golf
Links
pool,
not
far
from
a huge
maple
and
elm
(still
there
in
2002). Shortest
hole
was
the
110
yard
3rd,
par
3; it
called
for
a high-flying
iron
shot
lofted
over
a 60-foot
high
wooded
hill
and
across
the
road. With
luck
you
landed
on
the
3rd
green,
still
easily
visible
today
exactly
between
the
cemetery
and
the
Shea
House. Par
for
the
course
was
32.
