I had a chance to play here a few times recently http://www.horseshoebayfarms.net/

On the first round we were held up for half an hour on the watching a wedding party take pictures on the 18th green. lol


Anyone else love playing other Troon courses? My wife and I would like to plan a trip for next year.

I have played two Troon courses out here in AZ...Talking Stick and Estrella Golf Club.

I like Troon courses, they seem challenging, and are nice for the green fee. I also like all the "small" stuff like complimentary range balls, water, snacks, and various do-dads. Shoot...we were on the course, it was 106*, and the cart girls brought us wet towels that smelled good. I was pleased.

In My Grom Bag:
Rapture Driver (10.5*)
Rapture 3 wood (14*)
G5 22* Hybrid
Eye 2+ (Blue-Dot) 4-PW iWedge 54/60 PAL-2i (Isopur); G2 ZSB Pro V1xHome Course: Rio Salado Golf Club (63.6/101)

There is a Troon Golf facility in Branson, MO called Branson Creek. I play there a few times a year and it is always in incredible condition. The fairways are always mowed and perfect, greens are very fast and firm but they hold great. There rough isn't too high, but enough of a challenge if you get in it. The course is pretty easy as it is more of a tourist course. It is pretty wide open and most holes play downhill. There are a few holes with trouble, but you have to really hit it bad to get into too much trouble on the majority of holes. There are five different tees to choose from and can become harder from the tips. It has one of the best practice facilities I have ever seen as well (range balls are included in green fees). Two putting greens, a chipping green, and sand traps.

Easily it is the best public course in Southwest Missouri and probably top 5 in the state.

I will judge my rounds much more by the quality of my best shots than the acceptability of my worse ones.

here in dc we don't have many troon courses (i've played a few in Atlantic City NJ), but i just finished off a trip that had me staying at two troon properties (inn at estrada in st george utah and troon north in scottsdale az) and played one troon course (talking stick)...

i always know i'm in for a professional experience when playing a troon track...

just a clafification: we ko pa is managed by obgolf not troon golf. ob has a eagle mountain, longbow, and whole list of properties. Troon Golf is the giant with courses under management all over the world. Talking Stick, Troon North both have two golf courses owned or managed by Troon Golf. There are many others. suggest web site Troongolf.com will get info for you.

regards from scottsdale

    • The MTB Prime and Prime X had issues with the cover being too soft and getting cut too easily. They said it was more prevalent in the Prime than the Prime X which I found odd because that was the exact opposite of my experience.
    • Day 120 - Played 18; much better than yesterday. Miss right now is off the heel of the club, so I need to sort that out. 
    • Today we played Pease Golf Course in Portsmouth, NH. Course was in great shape but my game didn't show up. I will say I pitched and chipped fairly well but almost everything else was very hit or miss. Cost myself a lot hitting an in play drive with pulling my approach shots maybe 85% of the time. Finally figured out I had been swaying most of the round. Only took me until 13 to figure it out. Used what felt like a much more centered turn and the ballstriking improved. 18 tomorrow using a 2 man scramble format. Just looking to contribute. Been a blast though. 
    • Day 22: Hit balls with 7-iron using mevo+ to track dispersion. Was out for a long time after work; 86 balls but the first 50+ were 50% swings focusing on top of backswing feel and then just hitting the ball as a psychic reward. Finished with 20 balls close to full speed. Pretty happy with dispersion and also no horrendous misses. I’m chunking my priority piece out into two separate feels, first and more important is the position/balance at top of backswing which is what I was working on. Once I have that engrained I’ll move to transition part. 
    • FWIW I never really had issues with the previous generation of Snells. But… I'm not sure I played them a ton, either.
