Aerial photos from the earliest to latest views from above

From these overhead shots, one can see the original "inverted L" layout of the course when it was 18 holes and the lower right quadrant left blank for the airfield which by this time was defunct.
The driving range was never in the middle of the course but several of the greens remain original to the 1920's redesign. The trick is that most of these original greens are now approached from a completely different direction in the modern day and present new challenges never faced by the professionals and amateurs of yesteryear.
You may not have enough time during your round to review these overhead shots and varying layouts, but flipping around with them before your next round will help you to better see what the course used to be and how it has changed over the years. We go from a 1922 aerial photo to a shot from 1928, then the 30s and finally a modern day satellite view. the course maps are from the 1920's redesign and end with the original 1911 layout by Willie Watson with yardages and little was changed in terms of distance in the redesign...
