Meh. Very expensive to maintain decent bunkers from what I hear. I could be in the minority here but for $25, I would be more than fine with light or no sand bunkers as rest of the course okay as you mentioned. 

It's probably not going to be $25. 😄

Uh yeah. Will likely be at least 3x that.

EagleSticks employs dynamic pricing for tee times. While we anticipate weekend morning rates to be around $84, specific rates cannot be published in advance.

 

Virtues will be $120 (unless they do some kind of group discount/rate). Looks like they do have an option of 36 holes and lunch for $170 too, but that might be a bit much in terms of cost and/or golf for some people.

No worries. Just waiting for the loan approval and we are good.

FWIW, I’m pretty sure @GolfLug likes bunkers that have snakes in them. Preferably the venomous variety.

Bring plenty of golf balls.  😉

The general location is acceptable at around 4 hours drive for me. I have a tentative conflict on that date but I could likely work around it. It is close enough to Buckeye Lake, where my spouse has some friends with a lake house. I might be able to drop her off or commute from there. Keep up the solid work, @StuM

36 holes in 1 day could be hard for any trying to drive in & home the same day.

what do others think?

I thought it was a stay and play package? It’s not 36 holes in the same day.

2 different things here.

Virtues offers 36 holes in one day with lunch for $170.

And yes @StuM, I figured not everyone would be interested in 36 in a day at Virtues but just wanted to throw that option out there for people who wanted to get in as much golf as possible. Its about an hour drive for me so I'm most likely only going to play 18.

There is also a stay and play option where you stay in a house on property at Virtues and you get one night's lodging and one round at Virtues and one at Eagle Sticks. Unsure of pricing or availability of that for the weekend @StuM is targeting.

Gotcha.

I probably won’t do 36 in one day. The tentative plan would be to drive in from Erie maybe on Saturday for a round, stay in Ohio overnight, play Sunday and drive back.

I live in Central NY. 6 hours would be doable, but it would depend on my work schedule as well, I work at a golf course from April-October.  I may be able to take a couple days off, but it’d have to been like one Friday, Saturday, Sunday deal.

Guys, working to firm up our plans.  Below is what I have.  I will need to know who plans on doing both dates and also Hotels.  As of now I have 6 tee times for both Saturday & Sunday and the courses know that may change.

  • Saturday June 1st
    • Eaglesticks Golf Club
    • 2655 Maysville Pike
    • Zanesville, OH 43701
    • Tee Times beginning at 10:15am
      • This may be able to move to starting at Noon which would give more time for those driving that morning but also make it a later day for those driving home that day
    • They will provide an area for us to meet, eat & drink after the round
      • Foo & Drink available to order at your expense.
  • Sunday June 2nd
    • Virtues Golf Club
    • One Long Dr.
    • Nashport, OH 43830
    • Tee Times beginning at 8am
  • For those spending the night:
    • Hampton Inn near the Virtues
    • I need to get the correct address and will post.

For those playing ONLY on Saturday: $75 for the round which includes the cart.

For those playing both days & staying in the hotel: $239 per person - This price assumes Double Occupancy in the room for 2 golfers.  If you want an individual room for yourself to to stay alone or with a non-golfer that will need to be worked out.  For those staying in the hotel they a breakfast.  The $239 includes both rounds of golf, the hotel (Double occupancy) and taxes.

If you want to golf both days but NOT have a hotel (or book your own hotel), I will need to get the Virtues cost (sorry, I forgot to ask that)

I have time to finalize numbers (I need to confirm with them on May 15th).  At this time, please add your name to the tags below if interested and also answer the following questions:

  • Will  you golf Only on Sat. June 1 or both Sat & Sunday?
  • Will you need a hotel the night of Sat. June 1st and if so:
    • will you share with another golfer or do you need a private room?
    • Will a spouse or non-golfer join you?
  • Is 10:15 start time OK or should we move back to noon on Saturday?

Thanks & looking forward to a fun weekend.

My gps says 4 hours from Ann Arbor. If I am one of the later tee times, that would work. I could be there at 9:45 for a 10:15 tee off but that is not ideal. Conclusion: if there are 8-12 players will to be in the first 2 tee times, selfishly that is fine with me. Right now I plan on staying the night and playing Sunday.

Let me know what the different dates might be. Stay away from Father's Day.  😉

My plan is to drive into Ohio on Friday, so I'll be staying in the area both Friday and Saturday night. I could do their stay and play package but I'd still have to find my own accommodations for Friday night, so in all likelihood I might just find a hotel to stay at for both nights. I'm not 100% sure ATM.

Lets try to finalize some dates and then we can get concrete plans.

Don't plan it just around me, but the June 7,8,9 weekend doesn't work for me.

I had thought it was supposed to be the prior weekend 31,1,2 which I can do.

    • A 5400 yd course is not that short for gents driving it 160 yards considering the approach shot lengths they are going to be faced with on Par 4s.  Also, for the course you are referring to I estimate the Par 4s have to average longer than 260 yds, because the Par 5s are 800 yds or so, and if there are four Par 3s averaging 130 the total is 1320 yds.  This leaves 4080 yds remaining for 12 Par 4s.  That is an average of 340 per hole. Anyway, if there are super seniors driving it only 160ish and breaking 80 consistently, they must be elite/exceptional in other aspects of their games.  I play a lot of golf with 65-75 yr old seniors on a 5400 yd course.  They all drive it 180-200 or so, but many are slicers and poor iron players.  None can break 80. I am 66 and drive it 200 yds.  My average score is 76.  On that course my average approach shot on Par 4s is 125 yds.  The ten Par 4s average 313 yds.  By that comparison the 160 yd driver of the ball would have 165 left when attempting GIR on those holes.     
    • I don't think you can snag lpga.golf without the actual LPGA having a reasonable claim to it. You can find a ton of articles of things like this, but basically: 5 Domain Name Battles of the Early Web At the dawn of the world wide web, early adopters were scooping up domain names like crazy. Which led to quite a few battles over everything from MTV.com You could buy it, though, and hope the LPGA will give you a thousand bucks for it, or tickets to an event, or something like that. It'd certainly be cheaper than suing you to get it back, even though they'd likely win. As for whether women and golfers can learn that ".golf" is a valid domain, I think that's up to you knowing your audience. My daughter has natalie.golf and I have erik.golf.
