I live in VB and have played there once.  Pretty nice overall, since it used to be a TPC.  It is definitely long, but I think the other close by courses (Arnold Palmer's Signature and Heron's Ridge) are harder.  Not that harder is necessarily better, especially for me.

Ya, I agree it is one of the better courses in the area, including the others I mentioned.  Most of the other courses in VB are older and shorter.  The closest course I live to is Bow Creek, which is a typical city course, but cheap.  Normally go the driving range there mostly.  I play Honeybee, Stumpy Lake, and Redwing mostly I'd say.  Redwing is way overrated and overpriced in my opinion, especially for a city course, but I've got friends who like to go there.  If I want to spend some money, I'll go play Signature.  If I want to take a drive I'll play Nansemond River in Suffolk.  Probably my favorite course around the area.

Yes, Hell's Point is a little gem, I forgot to mention it.  It's pretty close to VB National and Signature.  I haven't played there in some years though, so don't know the current condition.  It's a Rees Jones course and you want to stay on the fairway at all costs.  Lots of woods and it was built basically in a swamp.  That's the nice thing about the general area (southern VB).  You have Arnold Palmer, Fred Couples, Rees Jones, and Pete Dye courses all within 5-10 minutes of each other.  They are all quality courses in their own right.

    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
