I've looked all over the internet for some answers, but I can't seem to find any, so I figure someone must be a member or familiar with the club.

My question is is that since the Haig driving range is part of the Golf Digest Academy (which I assume is public), is the driving range public as well? If so, do you know prices for balls?

I know this seems like a stupid question, but I really can't figure this out. The first question is way more important than the second one. Thanks.

Have you called them to ask? I used to have a friend that worked there and they're just normal people to talk to. Call and ask.

The facility is more resort oriented mixed with community membership. I have no idea if you can just walk in and use the range, but it is worth the call. I just played the Estate Course and the range was closed because of heavy rain, but the putting green was fine. The greens were incredibly fast.

Are you talking about the PGA Village? or the PGA National course. They are both in the area I believe. Ive played the Wannamaker at the Village and from what I hear its much more of a scenic course than the National.

The PGA Village is about 30 minutes north via the turnpike from PGA National. The Haig is a PGA National course that is in Palm Beach Gardens. You can't go wrong at either location.

I played the wannamaker in august and thought it was just a brilliant course. Comparable to kiawah island course, just a little more swampy.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      First round at Quail Ridge: 47 + 47 = 94 *Note: It was 25+ mph winds with gust in the 35+ mph. It was also around 58 degrees. I felt like I was out in Oregon. The greens were very firm.  Driver was decent. It didn't cause me an issues.  Irons were the biggest issue. Just low point control was lacking. Mostly on the chunky side. Also, my irons were routinely 20-30 yards shorter than normal. Even on holes with a cross wind, the ball was just dying. We played an extra 9 holes after the first 18, and the wind died down by then. I stepped into a 9 iron, and it came up 15 yards short. I have no clue what is going on. I should not be hitting 9 irons 140 yards when I am hitting my driver 300 to 310 yards.  Warmup didn't give me much confidence. I just kept shanking every other iron shot. I didn't shank an iron during the round. I just felt all out of sorts today. Coordinate felt off.  yea, I have no idea if I am purposely slowing down my swing to feel my downswing piece. Again, I hit a decent 9 iron and lost 15 yards of carry. I hope this is just an off day.
