I've membership at Skyview GC in Sparta. it's 45min drive, but the price is right Other than that - the Great Gorge Resort has 5 nice courses to choose from... pricey, but it's good to do something else once in a while. Other than that - Bowling Green in Milton is really nice, sometimes I play the Morris County courses, that are decent.

As you can see in my profile, I'm a beginner. I really began last year and went to golf camp last summer. Only played a handful of courses. Needless to say, I am itching to improve, so I'm looking for a reasonably close courses.

Is that the Great Gorge courses in NJ

?? Where the Playboy Club Hotel and Ski Resort used to be??? The reason I ask is I attended a sales meeting there way back in the mid-70's when the Playboy Hotel was still there. They had a golf course and I actually played it as part of a group. I had never picked up a club in my life and it was 35 years before I picked up another. Must have been a traumatic experience that I have blocked out... lol

Great Gorge resort started with Black Bear, Crystal Springs and Ballyowen. After few years they built Wild Turkey and just last year they purchased the Great Gorge courses you're referring to ( 27 holes ). They sure look to monopolize the area, I know for the fact that they bid several times for my home course too. It's kind of cool, for a 8K membership you get to play all these courses... 8K is just a bit out my reach though

How strange that this should come full circle. My only time to play golf before I took it up seriously and it comes up on a golf forum over 30 years later.....

      7 Wood

      By trombettista_vecchio ·

      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.

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By trombettista_vecchio ·

      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.

      My Favorite Putts

      By trombettista_vecchio ·

      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.

      Are you a Better Golfer than a Year Ago?

      By trombettista_vecchio ·

      No. But if I can still play next year, I'll almost certainly be even worse. That's the reality of not being young.🙁
