I'd like to do a trip up there, the articles I've read say it's a great course in an out-of-the-way place.

A new course, in the top ten in the world. I wonder.

i am thinking that sand hills is in nebraska, well off the beaten path, for a reason, and is very exclusive. maybe in the pine valley league exclusive. you probably ain't gettin' on there unless you are loaded and can buy your way in, or know someone. many years ago, 60 minutes did a story on this place. the place is very unique.

in the bag:
driver-titleist D2 10.5* w/aldila nv shaft
3-adams speedline fast 10 w/aldila shaft
hybrid-titleist 585 17* w/aldila shaft
irons-titleist 735cm w/ttdg s-300 shafts

wedges-cleveland 588, 53* and 60* w/ttdg shafts

putter-scotty circa 62 #1, gun metal finish

You either need to know someone or have the coin to speak for you. I have several $$friends$$ that play it once a year. These are people that have played Pebble, Dunes, many TPC and tour coures and they say Sandhills is the nicest they have ever seen. Last time the played they followed Ben Crenshaw and group and just missed Michael Jordan by a day. Everyone that plays it says its one of the best, maybe I'll get invited one of these times

      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.
