Worth the drive

I got a good deal for Macoby Run and I had a $10 reward so I figured I’d give it a try even though it was about an hour drive. I’m glad I did. It was a nice course with good conditions. Interesting layout with a few challenging holes. It’s fairly open so even though some holes look tight, if you got your drive out there, you usually found your ball in a decent position! Looking forward to the next round at Macoby Run!

Nice Surprise

Nice course, interesting layout. Read comments about long rough but it wasn’t as bad as expected. I was able to find balls no problem but it still makes for a shot you have to think about. Can’t wait to play it again.

Slow for a weekday

Course is in good shape. 1 or 2 tees are suffering from weather or disease but overall it’s good. Pace was slow for a weekday. Ranger wasn’t effective until a couple holes into the back 9 but it wasn’t terrible. This is a good course in close proximity so it’s a keeper so long as you can get a good deal ($35 or less in my opinion).

Nice find

This course has been on my radar for awhile. Glad I finally played it. It was cart path only today because it rained a lot the day before but the course was in pretty good shape. The greens could have benefited from a good rolling and the rough was a little deep but that was understandable and didn’t lessen the enjoyment of this round. I had previewed the layout and pictures ahead of time. Nothing jumped out at me so I wasn’t expecting much. It turned out much nicer than I hoped for. There’s a good bit of water and enough trees to challenge me. Some short par 4s but a good mix of everything. It plays shorter than the 6040 from the whites. The wind was a big factor on this day. Hope to get back there on a calmer day to try to score even better.

Blue/Red course in good shape

Limekiln is almost always an enjoyable round. Course was in good shape although there were a couple greens that had gouge marks in them (animal problem?) but not enough to affect our putts. We did spend some time fixing other golfers ball marks. Windy conditions made it a little more challenging but overall it was a good day.

Wet but good

Overnight rain made for soggy play. Course didn’t drain that well but otherwise conditions were good. Afternoon sun made seeing ball on some holes difficult, especially the 17th. I like the layout. Starter friendly, others kind of indifferent.

Getting better

I like this course. Nice layout but the winter wasn’t kind to Mountain View. The recent aeration should help but today’s round saw bumpy greens and some tees in rough shape. I’d give it another couple weeks until it’s up to “par”. But I plan on coming back.

Rough rough

Always like Shannondell. Today was a little unusual. An abundance of rain over the past week plus didn't allow for keeping the rough under control. Lost a few balls in the thick stuff and even when you could find it, it was difficult to play out of it.

Still Like Turtle Creek

Played Turtle Creek for the first time last year and I still like it. It's always in good condition. Pace of play is good. It's just challenging enough but few tree-lined fairways take that problem out of my game. Water and bunkers make up for fewer trees but it's a fun course.

Got a hot deal and used a promo code to keep it in my desired price range.

All things considered...

We liked the course but were a little disappointed about them not telling us about the prep work going on for an event the next day - concentric circled hoses on one green and a port-a-pot surrounded by tiki torches on the 18th green??? I kid you not, sounds like I'm making this up but I'm not. But I'm not really complaining. It wasn't the best weather day; off season has pretty much started, the course was wet (cart path only) so we just took it in stride. Plus we got a super deal on GolfNow so that's just how it goes. But the course is nice, not overly long but some tough doglegs make you think about your shots. I'll go back.

First Time But Certainly Not The Last

Turtle Creek was a nice surprise. Course was in great shape even though they've been improving the drainage system and shortened the tee box on the 5th hole. Fairways were beautiful, greens predictable, even the sand traps were in good shape.

This course has a nice layout - pretty wide open except for a few holes on the back nine. It's not a long course (around 5800' from the whites and about 6400' from the tips) but it sure is fun to play. There's enough water on the course to make for some thoughtful shot selection.

We had a good time and can't wait to go back.

Nice Short Course

Nothing overly special about this course but it was nice and quiet both times that I played it. Kind of a hidden gem. Always seemed very peaceful on the course except when I found myself or a playing partner muttering about a missed shot.

Don't let the course length fool you

What this course lacks in length is made up for in hills and rough. Today the rough was thick. If you miss the fairway, even by a couple yards, you may have difficulty finding you ball or getting a good lie. Also, don't forget to figure in the hills when choosing clubs. Sometimes a 1 or 2 club adjustment is necessary.

Nice weather + friendly staff + good conditions + interesting layout = good times!

Overall a fun round.
