I haven't played many of the courses on the list, but I am familiar with the tracks around Cleveland. I personally love Manakiki and Wicked Woods, but I'm surprised Little Mountain did not end up on this list. It is one of the best courses in the state.

That list is a joke. Courses missing just off the top of my head:
The Golf Club
Firestone North
Firestone West
Scioto
Youngstown CC
Silver Lake CC
And to have Kensington first--laughable. That place is a dump

Manakiki is an incredible layout (Thank you, Mr. Ross). Once they get finished bringing the course back up to snuff...it'll be amazing. The Metroparks are good at adding bells and whistles to the clubhouse, let's see how good they are at restoring a classic gem.

Current Gear Setup: Driver: TM R9 460, 9.5, Stiff - 3W: TM R9, 15, stiff - Hybrid: Adams Idea Pro Black, 18, stiff - Irons: Callaway X Forged 09, 3-PW, PX 5.5 - SW: Callaway X Series Jaws, 54.14 - LW: Callaway X Series Jaws, 60.12 - Putter: PING Redwood Anser, 33in.

lol That list is missing a TON of great courses. What about what used to be a constant #2 public course in Ohio on Golf Digest's list... Blue Heron on River Styxx Road in Medina, OH? Hands down one of the nicest courses that I have ever seen. Event St. Bernards is a very nice course in Hinckley, OH. To think Little Mountain wasn't listed also though, pretty much sums up why these other 2 are not on there I guess.

The golf link rankings are rediculous.  If you look at the top 100 nationwide you'll see a Seattle Muni at 3 that doesn't make the top 3 in the Seattle area.

There is a very obvious skew to public courses in large metro areas look at how many less than stellar So Cal public courses are in their top 100.

Hahahahahahaha.........Ok, how is this on the list?  ....a joke, right?  This made me laugh out loud.   The Safari I remember was a piece of crap, dumpy course next to the Columbus zoo.  WOW...that alone makes the entire list a complete joke. I haven't heard of several of those while there are great courses not on the list.

What's in Paul's Bag:
- Callaway Big Bertha Alpha Driver
- Big Bertha Alpha 815 3-wood
- Callaway Razr Fit 5-wood
- Callaway Big Bertha 4-5 Rescue Clubs
-- Mizuno Mx-25 six iron-gap wedge
- Mizuno Mp-T4 56degree SW
- Mizuno Mp-T11 60degree SW
- Putter- Ping Cadence Ketsch

I live pretty near Kennisington, I play it frequently. And it's number 1?! I think not. I cannot believe Boulder Creek didn't make the list! BC could easily be in the top 5 public courses in Ohio. I also play Firestone Farms quite often...and it's just another typical public course. This list is garbage.

I'm curious to see what the judging criteria was for this list.

Longaberger, Inverness, Firestone, Muirfield, OSU Scarlet, Canterbury, Sand Ridge, there is even a TPC course in Ohio...In no particular order of course. I would put probably these 8 in the top 10

Driver:  R9 Supertri 10.5* -  909D3 9.5*

2 Hybrid:  2009 TP Rescue 17*

Irons:  R9 TP 3-PW

Wedges:  Vokey 54* & 60*

Putter:  2Ball Vline 34"

I have walked the south course at firestone many of times, i have played the north course. I think the north course is a much better course to play.

The Quarry in Canton, Ohio is absolutely amazing, though they jacked there prices up a bit, which makes it a once a year place for me, its a gem.

Longaberger is a bit overrated, its way overpriced

Brookside Country club is an amazing course by Donald Ross, sits in Canton, Ohio. Very very private, but my favorite course i ever played.

Awards, Achievements, and Accolades

I played The Quarry a couple of years back. Great track. Winds thru a rock quarry. 17th hole is the signature - 235 from the back, downhill par 3 water left & front third of green.

I grew up outside of Akron, and there are a lot of puzzlers not on that list, most already mentioned - Firestone North, Stonewater...how about Windmill Lakes in Ravenna?

And while Manakiki is a pretty good course, I don't think it's even the best Cleveland Metropark course...that would be Sleepy Hollow in Brecksville.

Many of you from/around Akron should definitely consider playing Blue Heron if you have not. It's not the most pristine course by any means, but it is just a gorgeous course and very challenging. Be prepared to spend around $70-80 before you leave though. It's a nice little treat to play, especially early August.

I'm just glad the course that I most frequent is actually staying open year-round. The only part that worries me is the damage that will be done to the course with virtually no downtime for regrowth and repair. Kind of makes me wonder why any course in Ohio would remain open December-March. I can see early November, especially when we're still hitting the 60's consistently. If I were a course owner though, I would definitely be closed from say, Thanksgiving to March with strict cart paths only enforced through April (if necessary, however we do usually get pounded by rain here).

We played Royal Oaks earlier this year, which is by no means a top course, it's just a nice little public course.They claimed that they stayed open too long the year prior and the tee boxes were just destroyed. They had no time to let the new seed come in, the greens were not aerated, fairways were just burned up, etc.  Now, for the right price, I would not complain. $45 for 18+cart though and I'm scratching my head wondering where the profits are going. Perhaps that is why they are no longer open.

    • Wordle 1,013 4/6* ⬛🟦🟦⬛⬛ ⬛🟦⬛🟦🟦 🟧⬛🟧🟧🟧 🟧🟧🟧🟧🟧 par is good after a double bogey yesterday.
    • I did read the fine print tonight. It said replace with “similar features & function”.  8 yeas ago my purchase had features that today are available on the lower end models and the current version of my model has more “bells & whistles” than what I got 8 years ago.  So I am thinking they honored the agreement and I can’t argue the offer. since getting a credit for the full purchase price all I am really out over the past 8 years was the cost of the extended warranty, which was less than a low end  treadmill would have cost me. now the question is which model to replace with.  I’ll stay with Nordic Track or I forfeit the $1,463 credit so I will get Nordic Track.  And they honored the warranty and were not hard to work with which is a plus.
    • Generally speaking, extended warranties are a terrible deal and should almost always be avoided. They are a huge profit center for the companies that offer them, which should tell you almost everything you need to know about how much value most consumers get when purchasing them.  This is correct, and the old adage applies - only buy insurance when you can't afford the loss. This usually doesn't apply to most consumer goods.  To your second question, no I don't believe the offer is fair. They are replacing it, but it is not being replaced at "no cost to you". Since the amount being disputed (over $500) is non-trivial, I would probably push the issue. Don't waste your time on the phone with a customer service agent or a supervisor. They have probably given you all they have the authority to do. Rather, I would look at the terms of your agreement and specifically legal disputes. The odds are you probably agreed to binding arbitration in the event of a dispute. The agreement will outline what steps need to be followed, but it will probably look something like this.  1. Mail the Nordic Track legal department outlining your dispute and indicate you are not satisfied with the resolution offered.  2. Open up a case with the AAA (American Arbitration Association), along with the required documentation. 3. Wait about 4-5 weeks for a case to be opened - at which point someone from Nordic Track's legal department will offer to give you the new model at no cost to you.  They certainly don't want to spend the time and energy to fight you over $500. 4. Enjoy your new Nordic Track at no cost to you. I recently entered binding arbitration against a fairly large and well known company that screwed me over and refused to make it right. In my demand letter, I made a pretty sizeable request that included compensation for my time and frustration. Once it hit their legal department, they cut me a check - no questions asked. It was far cheaper to settle with me than to send their legal team to defend them in the arbitration.
    • I never thought of looking at it on multiple purchases like you said.  Yes, the extended may help me on 1 or 2 items but not the other 5 or 6.
    • Day 84 - Forgot to post yesterday, but I did some more chipping/pitching.    Back/neck were feeling better today, so I did a much overdue Stack session.
