My father, brother and I are going to meet up near Cleveland, OH to play some golf. My brother did some research and selected Boulder Creek and Blue Heron, both in the Cleveland area. The golfclevelandohio.com website provided nice but brief reviews of the courses and the websites are nice.

I'm wondering if anyone has played them and has some thoughts on either. Thought you might have an idea Erik considering both courses are probably within 1.5 to 2 hours of you.

I haven't played either, but I hear Boulder Creek is pretty nice and Blue Heron is really very contrived and unenjoyable. "Hard" for the sake of being hard, and in stupid ways like chutes of fairways in places, that sort of thing.

Mind you, that's all hearsay, but the hearsayers have been pretty consistent. Do you have time to change your plans?

Boulder Creek: Great track...it'll be outstanding in another 2 years. It's a little "new" still

Blue Heron: Hard for the sake of being hard...not a fun course if you ask me.

I'm more familiar with the ones on the eastern side. Doug could give you some insight on ones to the west.

Blue Herron, in my opinion is just stupid. The first hole from the blue tees, a par 5, is like 240 to carry a ravine. Don't go right either. The ravine is there also.

It's target golf, but in the worst way. When you are hitting 3 irons off of the tee all day to keep from going long into a ravine thats no fun. I think I hit one driver all day.

Highly not enjoyable.

      Golf Workouts

      Hey, thanks for the feedback. I do lift weights but I’m also adding yoga or Pilates for mobility and flexibility to my routine.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By ConorHealy · Posted

      Day 18: 2026.01.20 Continuing work on arm raise during backswing. Starting to feel less weird, especially the slower I go. Looking like a busy week so might be the weekend before I can hit some balls.

      By Mystique · Posted

      It’s possible the graphite shaft has a small internal crack or a delamination. Tapping it and hearing a vibrating sound is usually a sign the shaft isn’t behaving as it should. Since the store wasn’t helpful, consider taking it to a club fitter or a pro shop that can check the shaft flex and integrity. If it’s defective, you might be able to get a replacement from the manufacturer.

      Maintaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By Mystique · Posted

      It’s interesting how much a 3D system changes your understanding. Observing top players in full detail and realizing the trail knee shouldn’t fully extend is a great example of why being open to new info is so important. I like your approach: not trying to be “right,” but trying to teach correctly based on actual evidence. Makes sense why golfers would benefit from this perspective.

      Golf Workouts

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I would say both are equally not the best for golf. Is it better than nothing, sure.  Golf is an athletic motion. Professional golfers are doing a comprehensive workout routine focusing on strength, power, flexibility, stability. They might include some yoga into the routine. I would put both of them in the recovery bin, not golf enhancement bin.  If you want to increase swing speed, core strength, longevity in golf and life, then lift heavy weights.
