Dormant grass makes courses look so much more unappealing........ I noticed this after uploading the pictures and then seeing pictures from during the summer, but here's an honest look at what every course here in NC looks like in February. At least I'm still playing, and nothing closes down for the winter here.
Here's #3 green, which is representative of the typical green. Mound on one side, everything feeds one way, and a false front.

Here's the tee shot on #4. I am standing on the middle tees, my buddy Dan is teeing up from the senior tees. This hole is deceptive. It's a very short hole (340 from the middle), but has that huge pine tree in the middle of the fairway. From the tee, it looks like the shot is just to the right of the tree, but that's not true. If you go right, you can easily be blocked out from the green by the tree and it's limbs that stick out and have a huge bunker between you and the typical pin placement. The green is actually just to the right of the tree that's to the right of the fairway. THE shot is a slight fade around the left side of the tree, which gives you a good angle into the green and takes both bunkers, left and right out of play. There's a lot more room to the left than it appears from the tee, both in pictures and in person.
