Probably the best course for the money in JC is Buffalo Valley, you can walk for $11. Elizabethton is nice too, but its more expensive. Pine Oaks is 11$ too, its not as nice as Buffalo, but it's a relatively easy course so its good for beginners, that's where I usually play.

I saw that Elizabethton was $24 or so for riding but it does not say how much to walk, do you happen to know the walking price, if there is one?

I've played it once, and it was 20 to walk 18, maybe because it was on a friday and weekend rates are higher, I'm not sure about the weekday rates

1995 ETSU alum here and Greeneville resident. I've played all those courses mentioned and that's pretty spot on. Of the 3, Elizabethton is the nicest, but most expensive. I swear it was close to $40 to ride 18 a few years ago. I must have went on a weekend.

Buffaloe is pretty good and the Pine...View or whatever it is, is very convenient to ETSU. Less than a mile from Davis apartments on the corner of the campus. I do miss going to the driving range off South Roane street. Briar Lane or something like that? Great yardage markers, tons of demo clubs, covered turf bays or grass. Awesome!

Yeah, I go there twice a week to hit at their range (Green Briar I think is the name) but did not know they had Demo Clubs so I will have to ask about that next time I visit. It's cool to see other ETSU people on here

Yeah man. I have to honestly say I'm biased toward Mizuno, so just to speak about that brand...they had a rack of ALL the models, the last time I was there. There was all the lengths +/- a few inches and lies +/- a few degrees. I demoed and bought a Ping G5 driver there. I think they asked for me to leave my driver's liscence. Since my wallet was in the car, I think I left my keys instead. Haha.

Also I got fitted there once on the Callaway optifit for a driver. They applied my fitting charge to the cost of the (used no less) G5!

      Where Is Your Next Golf Trip Going to Be?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I got two trips lined up this year.  First, Pinehurst next month. Qual Ridge, Mid Pins, Southern Pines 😁, Mid South, Talamore. I am looking forward to playing Southern Pines since it got redone.  Second, a trip to eastern Wisconsin in early August. Whistling Straights, Blackwolf Run, Erin Hills.

      3 Wood Shafts

      By saevel25 · Posted

      You are probably doing the right thing in having more fairway woods or hybrids in your bag than irons. Just easier to maximize ball speed for you swing speed to get the proper gaps.  A driver is teed up, so you have more leeway there. The 7-wood is probably more optimized for carry for you. A slower swing speed needs higher launch and spin to keep the ball in the air. With the 3-wood, it probably launches too low with not enough spin to keep it in the air.  If you are not going to go get lessons, or do some sort of swing speed training, go get fitted for clubs. Clearly your mix-match of equipment is not optimized.

      Can Somebody Explain to Me Why Lie Angle Balanced Putters Are Important?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      32 putts are average for a single digit handicap golfer. Limiting three putting is the biggest task. Speed control is the most important aspect of putting. Probably the 2nd most important is aim.  The putter is going to rotate open a bit on the backstroke. It might stay square to the arc of the putting stroke, but that does mean the face opens up a bit on the backstroke when measured against where the face is oriented at address. Go get a putter lesson as well.

      Keep us up to date with your findings, please.  I'm not looking for a putter, but I'm sure you're not alone in your venture to get the putts rolling better.
