For those of you unfamiliar with Pine Valley, the exclusive course, is set in Camden County, N.J., and was designed in the early 1900s by George Arthur Crump, a hotelier. At the time of its opening, it was considered the most difficult golf course in the world. The Crump Cup was establish in 1922.

Crump mandated in the course’s construction that:

• No hole should be laid out parallel to the next
• No more than two consecutive holes should play in the same direction
• Players shouldn’t be able to see any hole other than the one they were playing
