i play there a few times a year... pick the right tee box and it's not too bad of a course. a few forced carries. all the greens are massively undulating... lots of break on the putts, and they're usually fast... if it's still set up like the US Am. qualifier on Mon. was then GOOD LUCK. if you keep the ball in play and hit the greens or keep you misses to a minimum you should be ok. have fun and post back on what you shot and how it was... i'm actually thinking about playing there on Sunday.

Thanks for the info, but there was a change of plans, and we're playing TPC at Deere Run tomorrow instead (couldn't get off till late at Piper). I'll def. have to make it down to Piper Glen though and play some time. Looks and sounds like a really nice course.

My old high school's golf team played and practiced at Piper Glen. I wasn't on the golf team, but two of my friends were, and they never had anything bad to say about it. Of course, my family moved before I had the chance to play it.

    • Best drive I've ever hit: I will not be answering any questions about the rest of the hole. Or the round, for that matter.
    • I tried hybrids way back when TaylorMade introduced the copper orange Firesole Rescue, the clubhead having been made of titanium which was still relatively new even in drivers back then. I couldn't hit it well at all, and while the success of hybrids suggests that the modern ones must be quite good,  I'm perfectly happy with the 5, 7, and 9-woods.  Early ones of mine were Top Flite Intimidator 400s made by Spalding... and also made of titanium, now that I think of it.  I still have them in my basement. I do bag a driving iron, but it's a one-trick-pony that never sees fairway use.    
    • The last time I played Maxfli balls, Dunlop was still making them. How long ago was that? Mostly, though, I used to play Top Flites (original 336 dimple model) when Spalding was still making them. Now I play the Pro V1x. Last time that I ordered some, Titleist was still making them. Let's see how long that lasts.
    • Once, on a course in Middleton, Massachusetts that I used to love but has since closed down,  I hit the wrong half of a huge, UK style double green.  Then I made the hundred foot putt.  Tough to  forget that one.
    • No. But if I can still play next year, I'll almost certainly be even worse. That's the reality of not being young.🙁
