Chambers Bay
Played On 09/12/2018Chamber's Bay
Just played there last week. Course itself and layout were awesome. Paid twilight rate which was even better. Would have given it 5 stars but the green complexes suck right now with the bumpy and not pure fescue greens. Even worse, during the round you end up playing 3 holes of the 18 on Poa Annua grass which were great and pure so gauging speed and line on those vs the horrible fescue in the middle of the round was really just crazy. Never have played anything like that with two different putting surfaces on a highly ranked course. Great course but wait until they rebuild the greens this winter. They will finally represent the great layout of the course next year and it will be worth 5 stars then. If you are going soon, I suggest playing twilight to pay less than rack rate.
The Bayonet at Bayonet/Black Horse Golf Course
Played On 07/07/2017Love playing at Bayonet/Blackhorse but check green conditions first
Both of these courses are excellent. Sets up really well to play 36, with clubhouse and the two courses around it. Highly recommend with one caveat: As you are setting up your tee time, ask which course is going through any maintenance such as sanding/punching the greens. Both times I have played Bayonet, the greens had been sanded - I am sure they are always working on one or the other course. It was not bad, but I will definitely ask next time because both courses are excellent and does matter (to me) which one I play. Playing the one that is not sanded would be preferable.
Poppy Hills Golf Course
Played On 07/06/2017Poppy Hills is fantastic
The only negative to our round was it was cart path only. Not sure if NCGA is going to make Poppy (basically) walking only which is fine, or they had problems with people in carts hurting the course in the past, but we had already played a morning round, wanted to play 36, and it would've been a lot to ask our knees and backs to walk it. Great course, so nice, perfect shape, well worth the greens fee. But cart path only sucks as you all know and the fairways are super wide on most holes, probably would've walked less if we had just walked it. Great venue all in all.
