The Home Course - DuPont, WA

[Duff McGee]

My favorite course of all time and I get to play it this Thursday. Have any of you guys golfed there yet?

[Duff McGee]

Had a great time here yesterday! Still my favorite course by a mile.

I've played there several times, and I'd agree it's one of my favorites!  I played in the US Open qualifier earlier this summer at Home Course. I loved the way they set it up, because every green there has that one spot where you can only get to the pin one way.  It's a course that demands a great game plan and being able to work the ball many ways to get close to the pins.  They keep it in good shape for a good price.  A downside is that they don't have the clubhouse yet.  I know they are working on it, but it still is a slight downside.  If you get a chance ever to play Tumble Creek in Cle Elum, I'd do it! It's my other favorite course that is kept in immaculate condition!  I need to play more Seattle area courses, but it's hard to find the time to drive down.

Awesome! How did you do? I've never heard of that Cle Elum course but I will be sure to add it to my list.

Eh, 80.  I've been going through changes and the ball kept creeping forward in my stance that day.  But I had a lot of fun! I'm pretty sure I'll do better next time, I've made a lot of improvements since then.

It's a part of the Suncadia Resort, it is private but I know there are ways to play there anyway.  I'd check with the resort.  All the courses at Suncadia are pretty good, but Tumble is the best!

The biggest disaster hole I've ever seen is that hole where you hit over the hill and the water is about 250 in front of the green. 6 out of the 8 golfers I have golfers with now have hit the hazard twice on that same hole in the same round. It is a huge blow up hole. I came an inch from going in the hazard hitting a 9 iron downhill over the water last week and then I almost fell in taking my shot lol.

My disaster hole at Home Course is #4, the long par 3 that has 3 tiers with a bunker in front middle.  For me it plays like 220.  It's a really hard hole. Par is like a birdie haha!

Is that the one that has the little marsh underneath and it is kind of raised up? If so, I crushed a 4 iron into the bank and it popped up about 8 feet from the hole last week. That was like my favorite shot of the day but it is really hard and the time before that I blew up on that hole.

Yeah there's a marsh all in front.  I usually go for going long, because itll hit the bank and stop.  Then its a chip and a putt.  And yeah its kinda built up.  it's fun, but not my favorite hole on the course.

[Duff McGee]

Yeah it's a tough one.

I haven't played there, yet. I'd like to play there sometime. The perfect set for me is the White/Gold combo but they don't have a rating for women on that. So I'm either playing Gold or White. 8 and 10 will be tough going from white. I have to hit a boomer off the tee or I'm dead on those holes. 75.4/133 Looks tough.

It is definitely tough and driver is the key club on that course. The blue tee ratings were like 72.8 or something like that. I had a really good round and adjusted handicap was like 9 for me but I took a 7 on the last hole and could have done much better but got stuck behind a fence.
