Royal Birkdale Golf Club
Played On 07/24/2017It's one of the best Open courses for a reason
Was lucky enough to play Royal Birkdale the day after the Open. What can I say that hasn't already been said about one of the great courses in the world, and one of the best in the Open rota? It was a superb test - obviously difficult, but not overly penal. We also lucked out and had perfect weather. Just enough of a breeze to make things interesting, but nothing like what greeted players during the first round!
Tooth 9-hole Course at Orange County National
Played On 01/28/2014Warm Up on the Tooth!
The 9-hole course at Orange County National, aka The Tooth, is the perfect place to warm up before a round on one of the big courses, or to just work on your game. There's seven par 3s and two short par 4s. Not overly difficult, but that's the point. Hadn't played in more than a month, so I played two balls on each hole (there was no one behind us, btw) and by the end I'd gained a ton of confidence in those all-important 100-yards-and-in shots. Also helped I recorded my first ace! (A soft PW on No. 7). The best part is the price -- $20!
