Palatine Hills GC, Palatine Ill, near Chciago. It's ok for a Public Course, getting expensive though 60 bucks on the weekends.

Eventually, I'll get the hint and stop advertising, which is against the rules.

My nearest family relations live in Austin, Texas on the Avery Ranch course in Northwest; accordingly, I consider it my home-away-from-home course, as I play it whenever I visit:

I'm not a big fan of North Austin, since it's rather suburban and lacks some of the rolling beauty of the hill country, but I think they did a really great job with this course given what they had to work with. It hosts the "Dennis Quaid Classic" LOL.

The course I play most often in Washington, DC, where I live, is the somewhat pathetic, but inexpensive and easy to get on, East Potomac Golf Course at Haines Point:

It hosts a good golf school and a large driving range, but the range is mats only.

Nike Sumo 5000 V2 (9.5°) & SQ2 3W (15°) | TaylorMade Rescue Mid (19° & 22°) | Mizuno MX-23 4-PW | Callaway X-Tour (56-13°) & X-Tour MD (60-11°) | Bettinardi C-03

I'm saving up to become a member at the Red Tail Golf Club.

http://www.redtailgolf.net/index.html


Description excerpt: "Named after the majestic Red Tail hawks that soar serenely overhead, the 7000+ yard, par 72 course is crafted from a site of great natural beauty. It flows over rolling wooded hills and meanders among numerous streams and ponds."

I'm currently a member at a local par 3 course (which does not have a web site, but is in surprisingly good shape). I figure that I could use a lot of short game work to become better at this hobby" of mine! It's all "100 yards and in" for me!

    • God I hate when golf can’t give me n+1 day of success. Drives me up the wall when my body is, FU! Im like, ok let’s check the vid. Yep too much turn, arms getting behind me. Ok, I work on that. Get the feel back for a shorter swing. Confirm with video. Then going back to arms down stuff.  Arms down, nope it’s hands out towards the ball. Oh, you get arms down better. Guess what, you don’t get to rotate and you hit 6 inches behind the ball. Yay!  Maybe I should have walked off the range and not wasted my time. I wish there was a body alert system when it’s going to a SOB for the day. 😭 OK rant over, I’ll be back at this tomorrow.

    • I mean there has to be some thought. For eg., something like 'soft knees and wrists' at set up and maybe a dynamic 'left arm to chin' as a trigger to start DS. I have these one or two anchor thoughts and have served me well. In fact, my wildest swings are the one where I have no thoughts or if I forget to walk thru my anchor thoughts. In contrast my best rounds are where I am consistent with the anchor thoughts.    OTOH, if I am running my entire half hour lesson (hypothetical) with some pro that I had last Saturday or whatever before every swing then I'm probably in trouble before I even get over the ball.      
    • Two bits. Bit 1 The NCAA's appeal of Brendan Sorsby being granted a temporary injunction will not be heard until February, so there will be nothing to prevent Sorsby from playing the full season and potential CFP.  Bit 2 The Big Ten Conference will hold a meeting and is expected to ban all of its athletic programs from playing Texas Tech in the regular season. Georgia has done the same. The SEC will meet to consider a similar ban. Fellow Big 12 members TCU and Kansas State are spearheading a similar ban, but the conference charter might not allow it. Meanwhile, Big 12 athletic directors are meeting this week to explore what options the conference might have.
    • No, but I'm also in disagreement that golfers have no thoughts over the golf ball, and/or don't ever think I've met someone I truly believe is thinking nothing but "target" or something on most shots.
