Bear's Best Atlanta
Played On 7/16/2014Marshal Were Art Thou
Jacks place is one of the best courses you can play, holes from all parts of famous golf courses and I have to mention beautiful homes throughout the course. This time of year with consecutive rain, greens where hairy, but still rolled better than most. Although I graded the course 5 star, some of the Nicholas tees need some work. I was also very disappointed no Marshal on duty, watch a group ahead us hit 90 degree shots all day, backed the course up from start to finish! I felt a little embarrassed for my playing partner whom paid full asking price verses my Hot Deal rate. All in all what a great course, a great time playing and one of my favorites too play.
Alfred Tup Holmes Golf Club
Played On 07/21/2013British Open Play Without Spotters
After watching Phil win the Open, decided to play a round of golf to complete my day. Tup Holmes was near and drains well, so decided to give the track a try. Hole one, played my tee shot down center of fairway and balls hit and rolls from left to right into the rough, no problem. Riding down the fairway I see the rough had grown above shin level, I thought, I think this going to to fun playing in Open type set up. As I play on, realize the course is in need of much attention from American Golf staff. Most of the tee boxes have been lost, greens are hairy and are going to be aerated starting 7/22/13. All through the round stoppage of play due to uncut fairways, leading to lost balls. I've played this course numerous time in the beginning of my golfing career and the course was embarrassing. I'm hoping because of all the bad weathered we've had, that is the case? The course has historical meaning to the locals and I wouldn't want too see this course loss due to lack of funding. I wouldn't recommend this course too anyone right now, but, I owe it too play again, maybe end of August too see if American Golf staff gives it much needed attention. Next month with a great deal from Golfnow, I'll submit another review regarding the round.
Cherokee Run Golf Club
Played On 7/19/2013Greens are the best around!
Got an invite out to play the course and I was surprised at the great practice facility, how fast the greens played and well maintained condition of the overall course. Going out you get a few good chances for birdie with aggressive second shots. There are tough holes going home that will keep you grinding. Because of all the rain recently, some holes are cart path only for you senior golfers. Having just played my favorite course Bears Best the other day, Cherokee Run comes in at an close second.
Eagle's Brooke Golf and Country Club
Played On 7/15/2013Eagles Brooke made 36aDay, 18 ONLY!
Should have know by the empty parking lot I was in for a challenge. Fairways were excellent despite a lot of recent rain.Greens like many quality courses had been aerated and a little bumpy. Still greens were good and true. Bunkers were well maintained. I would suggest bringing a playing partner with you to converse during your travel between holes. Then again the breeze on a hot day can help keep you cool. Going out gives you a few holes to score, you going to need them! Coming home, EB becomes a beast and will try to put it claws on golfers. You want an opportunity to tackle a 5 Par at 620 yards from the gold, EB has it! Overall I rated it 4 stars, but for the money it was as good as it gets. EB put my game back to the range, but I'll be back real soon!
Towne Lake Hills Golf Club
Played On 7/14/2013Keep it in the fairway and you will score!
A must play course in the Atlanta area. Fairways are in great condition and the pace of play was awesome for a Sunday afternoon. One suggestion for those errant tee shots that find themselves in the rough, give it a good wedge and make par from the fairway. A lot of blind tee shots, I was fortunate to get paired with some locals whom had knowledge of the course! Greens speed where a little slow due to aeration, but you can make putts. I can't wait to return, kudos to Golfnow for making it possible!
Charlie Yates Golf Course
Played On 07/09/2013You can leave your Driver in your bag!
Golf course was in great shape and greens roll good.If you got the golf bug and not a lot of time, great place to wet your appetite. Although Driver not needed for us bombers, still a good test for iron play on the par 3's.
