Hi everyone, Like the title says I will be playing Mystic rock in a couple of weeks and was wondering if anyone here has played there. If so, can anyone give any advice to a higher handicapper like myself. I have played there twice before but it has been two years since then and both times I played it was a scramble format which to me is a completly different ball game. The company I work for has a corporate season pass so It wont cost me anything but I would like to make the best out of it. Any tips would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Bring a lot of golf balls and play the proper (forward-ish) tees.

I played there a few years ago with a guy who probably didn't break 250. Seriously.

I am definately going to take a lot of golf balls. I learned my lesson from the last time playing there in scramble format. I am just hoping to be able to keep my score respectable and do my best. I did get a chance to play the Links at Nemacolin last year and I played ok but it is nowhere near as tough as mystic so I am curious to see how I do.

Well I ended up playing this past sunday and ended up with a 109. Normally I wouldnt be happy with that but I actually struck the ball pretty well. The penalty strokes I had to take from taking too many chances are what mostly drove my score up. The greens took a couple of holes to get used to as well. I played in a company golf outing saturday where they had just aerated the greens (holes and sand all over) so it was like night and day. Im hoping to play up there again in a couple weeks so hopefully Ill play smarter and lower my score. I couldnt imagine playing the course from the championship tees though. Playing the whites was definately long enough for me.
