Agreed on 7. There are lots of bits that remain: The green on 9 used to be the business end of a long par-3, now a dogleg right par 4. But I’m honestly not sure about today’s 10. I rememeber negotiating the tree, but I have played the course a couple times since 1984. My question: how did it link back up to the rest of the routing? That stumps me, cuz the closest hole to 10 green would have been 18, the par-3 finisher. And 11-15 are all NEW holes… Check out this 1934 aerial of Cromwell. Course is located at 2-3 o’clock. The no. 10 we remember is not there but the course shurely changed over time. https://cdm15019.contentdm.oclc.org/customizations/collection/p4005coll10/pages/maps/maps_1934_cromwell.html

You may well be right, Alex. That’s what Wikipedia says, but I could have sworn it was TPC of Cromwell, for the name of the town where it resides. To be honest, TPC of Connecticut would have made more sense: more general, and recognizable. But I coulda sworn… But the course today is without a doubt better than Edgewood ever was. Very few original holes were kept: #3, a long par-4 is pretty much the same, I believe, and #4 is very similar. Today’s #8, a par-3 over water, is very much the same but it wasn’t #8… The 9th green today serves a dogleg right par-4; back in the day, that same green served a long par-3. The signature finish of today’s TPC is a mind-bender for those who knew Edgewood. Today’s par-3 16th green served a par-3 that played downhill from almost the completely opposite direction. Today’s 17th green served another par-3 that played from about the same angle as today’s approach shots, only further back and up the hill. The driving range today was the old 10th hole. Edgewood finished with a par-4 (17) that played along a ridge that today frames the right side of 18. The old 18th was a par-3 that played back across the valley (across what is today the 18th green) to the clubhouse.
