Where Is Your Next Golf Trip Going to Be?

[DDBowdoin]

My cousin lives 3 miles from Ballybunion.  I played there in 2008 and am itching for a return.  I remember buying 500 dollars worth of Goretex rain gear and gloves and I found 79 degrees with sun and not a lick of rain on the course!  What a memory! As a single they paired me up with a father/son and the sons best friend.  His friend was a low level tour player in England and played the tips.  I played up that day because I shot an 82 to his 69 but it was so damn inspiring seeing someone control that course! What memories.

Good luck everybody. This thread should be a lot of fun for the entire week of the US Open.

I tried to get my people to go there instead of the usual trip to Outer Banks. ... They weren't having it.

Have fun.

An old friend of mine just moved from Colorado to Lexington Kentucky.  May be a good reason to organize something out that way or between the two of us.

Really, really looking forward to it.

Headed to South Fork, Colorado for four days over Labor Day weekend. Have a group of 24 guys that go up there around this time every year. We all throw $100 into the pot and play four rounds at the Rio Grande Club, which is a great golf course up there. The headwaters of the Rio Grande run right through the middle of the course, its really beautiful. It's one of the best fly fishing destinations in the country as well. We play some golf, do a little fishing, and drink a lot of beer.

Some pictures of the course:

That is pretty cool. What a beautiful part of this country, just rode my motorcycle around a few states and noticed the Rio Grande up in Colorado. Have Fun!

Have a great time!  I'm chuckling a little, most people would think of Pine Needles as the main event, not a practice round.  Mary Anne and I will be heading down to Talamore again for Thanksgiving week.

Thanks @DaveP043. There are only 8 of us playing there. The rest didn't want to pay that fee.

They will be playing at Legacy.

I'm sure they'll have fun too, but Pine Needles is an exceptional golf course, I think you've made the better choice.  I'm sure you have it all worked out, but let me know if you need food or drink recommendations.

It really is a wow kind of place. The condos we rent are about 100 yards away from where that guy is fishing. First time I went there I was blown away.

Funny thing is, its in the middle of nowhere. I mean South Fork, Colorado is barely a town and its an hour away from anything that actually does resemble a town. No restaurants, one gas station, and a small grocery store. Someone basically built this great golf course where there are no people.

The Full Moon – Seafood restaurant is the probable choice.
