Expedition Discovers Lost Tillinghast Course -- Poxono CC

Submitted by bobtrebus on Wed, 2007-01-17 13:58.

By Jim Hutchins and Rick Wolffe

Lost for nearly seventy years an expedition of  Tillinghast Association members rediscovered the Poxono Country Club golf course. This Tillinghast designed golf course was constructed by Jeff Davis and first opened sometime in the spring of 1927. Poxono was conceived by A.W. Tillinghast to be an exclusive club solely for himself and a close circle of friends. And these friends were an influential lot — the likes of Bobby Jones, Grantland Rice, Paul Whiteman, Vincent Richards, Jerome D. Travers and Sir Harry Lauder. The Poxono grounds were on 400 acres in the scenic Delaware River Valley. W.G. Massarene, who designed the summer White House in the Adirondacks, designed the main clubhouse. There was also a landing field to accommodate air service from New York City.

The first annual Tillinghast Meeting is now on the books. Held over the weekend of October 26 and 27, great fun was had by all. A kindred spirit filled the air, as old friends made new friends. The event kicked off Friday evening with a reception and dedication of the Tillinghast Room in the former home of Fred Waring, who was a prior owner of the Shawnee Inn and Resort. The dedication remarks were made by Head Golf Professional Pete Korba. Charlie Kirkwood, the current owner of the Shawnee Inn and Golf Resort, funded the renovation and decoration of the room with several photographs of some of Tillinghast's more famous golf holes.
