I don't have one home course but I have a set rotation of five courses that I play frequently. Here's my "official" home course, Newport News Golf Club. It has two eighteen hole courses, the Championship Course being the toughest.

My home course is the Town of Colonie (69.9, 120). It's not too easy but not too hard. They have 36 holes and it's well maintained. I love it. Best of all, I play student resident rate... $14!

Wow, I just read this entire thread, and there isn't one course listed that I've ever played.

Anyway, my 'home' course is the 9-hole at the end of my street, Twin Lakes Golf Club.

http://www.wpd4fun.org/golf.htm

Some of the holes are relatively challenging for a muni par-3 course, and it's nice to walk down there and get in a quick nine ( an hour, usually ). For real golf, I'm a nomad, but I like Oak Meadows ( nee Elmhurst CC ) and River Bend.

Unfortuantly none of my local course have a website.

Gladstone - Dry, but not as bad as it has been before.
Boyne Tannum - Almost dry, yet the greenest of the three.
Calliope - Dust bowl, intermixed with massive cracks in the fairways due to reactive soils (at least the greens are watered).

All in central Queensland Australia.

    • The chatter in my brain is when the distance is between clubs since I am pretty weak at shortened backswings, etc. I try to simply decide if being long or short is the better outcome and choose my club based on that and simply not even try for the “real” distance.  For me a full normal swing is what I strive for.
    • I saw this comment made in a golf article... "Most golfers stand over a 4- or 5-iron still negotiating with themselves. They think about how hard to swing, whether they have the right club, if they have the aim correct and more. It’s a lot to deal with and long irons punish the “half-in” golf swing." I am not sure the "most golfers" is correct regarding the bolded part. I can understand if there is a bunker, water, and/or OB that a lot of golfers would be fixated on that. I am not sure that leads to ending up more times there. Pending your level in golf, the variance is so large in outcomes, it could be just with in the expected outcomes. I can understand if have a big lake on the right side of the hole being one of the most terrifying shots for right-handed amateur golfers.  I am not sure many golfers are standing over the ball talking to themselves, "Ok, maybe I should step back and pull the 4-iron. Am I lined up right? Oh, the wind came up, should I swing harder? What am I going to have for dinner tonight, maybe steak. (Joking, somewhat 😛)" A question is that how much chatter do you get while standing over the ball. Are you questioning the everything about your golf shot?
