Ooo...cool.  I've been wanting to check out Nemacolin anyway (it's only an hour from me)...maybe now I'll turn it into a "real" trip and play both courses.

I'd really love to take a trip to play the streamsong courses someday. And big cedar is just a few hours so I need to make that happen soon.

I'm just encouraged to see new courses actually opening rather than closing.

Other than the price, that would be cool.

Here's the link to Sand Valley. http://www.sandvalleygolfresort.com/.  I'm hoping to get up there this year. They had 11 holes or something like that open last fall and I heard it was awesome. If things go as they plan I have a feeling the prices will increase every year for a while. They are trying to make it a destination similar to Kohler WI  (which is where Whistling Straits is located).

Stoatin Brae is about 2 hours from me. I hope to play it this summer. I've played all the other courses owned by the resort that built the course.

Silvies valley Ranch OR?????  Soooo....Your gonna fly into Redmond OR, which is a smaller regional airport.  Now sitting in a amazing golfing area with tons of great courses your going to drive 2.5 hrs through no mans land, to arrive at no mans land.  To place a golf course in the high desert that may or may not have water year to year.  I cannot figure out for the life of me where they think that they are gonna get people to go there to golf.

    • Agree. The next omission needs to be that ridiculous team concept. Nobody cares about a team when they really don’t represent anything except being a group of diminished morality and/or washed up pro golfers. Or wait, we’ve also got total nobodies who’ve accomplished nothing who now get a participation trophy! Doesn’t that sound invigorating!
    • LIV moving to 72 holes is a subtle admission that 54 holes was nothing but a joke all along. 
    • I was going to start a thread, but this seems like the place.  Yesterday I played my matchplay match at my local club.  My opponent is a notorious sandbagger by reputation.  The pro once pulled his tournament rounds from the past several years and said that it is impossible his tournament rounds are legit based on his handicap. here is what happened last night.  I am getting 4 shots from him.  His current handicap index is 15.3 i shot 45 on the front.   Was down 4 after nine, he had three birdies and shot even par. I was closed out on thirteen, we halved with a bogey.  That bogey put him one over par for his round.   He then took a triple on 14 and then left. As if that wasn’t bad enough, he lied about his score.   I wrote down on my scorecard what the score was.  He put higher values that didn’t affect the outcome of the match to pad his score and apparently make it not look as obvious.   He shot 36 on the front, but claimed 40.  The higher values for his score were in the online scoring app our club uses.  He did it this way: I won #7. He had a 2 foot putt for par that if he made would still lose the hole.   He picked up and said it didn’t matter since I won.  He took a 5 instead of a 4 after picking up a gimme. on #8 his approach shot on this par 4 was 8 inches.  I verbally conceded the putt but I had hit into a hazard.  I finished the hole with a 6.  Instead of birdie he put in for par. on #9, another par 4, his approach was to 18 inches.  I missed my par putt and then knowing how close I verbally conceded the putt.  I missed my bogey putt, he never conceded mine.  Instead of birdie he put down a bogey. He padded his score by 4 shots on the front.  And then did again on 10.  I rinsed one and made 6 on a par 4.  I putted out and he was fishing balls out of the lake so I drove off to the next tee.  He had 15 feet laying two but claimed a 5.     love to know the odds of a 15 handicap being even thru 12 holes on a round of golf. 
    • They've been chuckling since they hooked the shark. I think Greg doesn't realize the jokes on him.
    • to confirm, I'll need a hotel for Friday and Saturday, planning to share with you
