Ironwood Golf Course
Played On 05/16/2020Nice course, but not for me
The course was quite nice. Great pace of play even on a busy day. Carts were cleaned and sanitized. The rangers were very friendly. The course itself just felt unnecessarily difficult. Now I'm not claiming to be Tiger Woods or anything but my handicap is ~16, so I usually shoot in the high 80s. I admit that I wasn't on my game today, but the course did not aid in that at all. I shot a 102.
It felt like the pin placement was on Sunday at Augusta. There were at least 7/8 holes where the pin was in the back of the green, with only ~4 feet to the fringe. The greens were all really sloping to where it felt that every single hole itself felt like it was at least on a 10 degree slope. Again pin placement has something to do with that, but if every single putt is either downhill or uphill, or going to move to the left or the right a crazy amount due to the elevation change and slope of the green, it's almost unfair.
Challenging courses can be fun but this one felt less like a challenge all around, and just based on how you're putting for the day. Again, nothing against the course because it was well maintained, friendly staff, the course was well manicured for the most part. But just the greens themselves were so unforgiving it almost felt unfun. Did I have a nice afternoon despite my score? Yes. Will I play here again? Probably not.
