hehe I played EagleGlen in the summer when the salmon had already spawned and were basically floating down the river that runs through the course...definitely something i've never seen before or since, but definitely a great time...coulda sworn I was going to pop up a tee shot and clang it off an F-16 when those were coming in...

Sweet....We used to play it 5 to 6 times a week. Yeah isnt that amazing. Some big fish. Ship creek......is the name of the stream through the course. Did you get a shake when the fighters started taking off?? Not a bad course for being under snow for 9 months eh.....lol Thanks for replying always cool to talk to someone that played at a course I played on..

I am going to play at Salem Glenn in NC tomorrow. It is an Arnold Palmer course. I didn't think I would get to play it anytime soon, but a buddy of mine gets to play for free... so that includes me. I'll post how it was afterwards. I am pretty excited.

For me, my best course played was "Tour 18". Its a place here in Dallas that has 18 replica holes. Its very well maintained and beautiful. Problem is it was Feb and was in upper 30s and like 30mph winds that day. Im gonna go back this spring/summer for sure.

Has some really cool ones like Winged Foot, Sawgrass, Augusta National, etc...

Best courses I've ever played are:

Hawk Pointe (private club near my house in New Jersey) and The Architecs which is public, but real expensive, also near my house. The Architecs has each hole modeled after another hole on a very famous course.

Old Works. Consistantly rated in Golf Digest's top 100 public courses. Jack Nicklaus design. It's built over an old coal mine and the bunkers are filled with black slag sand. Some of the bunker walls are made from old brick mine buildings.

http://oldworks.com/

Check out this website and read the story of how they built it. He used "super fund" project inteaded to clean up the old mine and built a golf course over it. Ingenius!!!

The best course I've ever palyed is definently Spanish Bay in Monterey, its right next to Pebble and SpyGlass, and I think more on the ocean than both of them. I loved it.

I have played all over South Carolina and the best course that I have ever played would be Rivertowne in Charleston. It is a awesome course. Bobby Ginn sure knows how to put together a nice golf experience.

Hey Free--I definitely want to make it out there. What did you like about it more than some of the other big-name SC courses (Kiawah's courses, Harbourtown, Myrtle, etc.)?

Previously I have listed my favourite course as Turnberry however played in Ireland this year and have a revised opinion :

Old Head the most spectacular course on earth I would wager

Waterville an almost spiritual golfing experience

Ballybunnion 12 of the best links holes anywhere

but this last weekend played Ballyliffin which was good and Royal Portrush that was simply breathtaking in it's magnificence.

Two of us agreed Portrush was better than Turnberry so I have a new number 1.

I have not played any courses outside of Colorado ( I shoudl have played Kapalua when I went to Hawaii, I am kicking myself ). But as far as Colorado goes I will list my favorite courses in Order.

1.) Redlands Mesa, Grand Junction
2.) Lakota Canyon, Newcastle
3.) The Raven, Silverthorne
4.) Devils Thumb, Delta
5.) Bear Dance, Larkspur
6.) The Ridge at Castle Pines, Castle Rock

After that they are all interchangable. If you are ever planning a Colorado Golf trip I suggest you keep the Western Slope in mind ( that would put you in the vacinity of #1,#2 and #4 ) Unbelievable scenic courses and pretty challanging.

    • However, have you ever considered using small summer houses for such setups? They offer a great solution for creating dedicated practice areas, especially for an affluent audience looking to enhance their outdoor living space.
    • I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.
    • Wordle 1,035 3/6 ⬜🟨🟨🟩⬜ 🟨🟨🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Just lipped out that Eagle putt, easy tab-in Birdie
    • Day 106 - Worked on chipping/pitching. Focus was feeling the club fall to the ground as my body rotated through. 
    • Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.
