Sanctuary Ridge Golf Club
Played On 12/21/2013Hills in Orlando
Sanctuary Ridge is a very fun hilly course just west of Orlando. Most Florida course are very flat. This is not the case here. Some holes there is a 2 club drop in elevation. This gets your attention right away at the par 3 2nd hole. The course is usually in good shape. It's condition is a lot like a muni course but I am sure it's hard to maintain on this property. Go in with medium to low expectations and you will be very happy playing here.
St. Johns Golf & Country Club
Played On 11/28/2013Fun for Everyone
St. John's Golf & CC is a fun course that is usually in good condition. It has something for everyone.
Short and Long par 3's
Doglegs left and right
Fair bunkers and fairways
You can go low here depending on the wind and hole locations. The fairways are generous and you can use a driver on almost all the par 4's & par 5's.
The greens are in great shape and the members do a good job keep the course in good shape.
Kiawah Island Club - River Course
Played On 08/23/2013Low Country Gem
The River Course on Kiawah Island is a Low Country Gem. This private club is excellent at almost everything. From its amazing clubhouse and locker room to the southern hospitality you receive while on property this place is worth the stop. The course provides a challenges for all level players. The golf course perfectly placed amongst the marsh and oak trees. Make sure you have a homemade southern cocktail at the comfort station on the back 9. I would play a late afternoon round and watch the sun set coming in on 18 and then hang out the in the club for some snacks. You will never see a nicer men's locker room then here!
Pine Needles Lodge & Golf Club
Played On 05/04/2013Donald Ross Gem
This was the 2nd time I played Pine Needles. I really enjoy this Donald Ross gem. The 2 courses (Pine Needles & Mid-Pine) at this wonderful resort are amazing. Outside the Pinehurst Resort, this is the best 1,2 punch in the Sandhills.
The Pine Needles Course is a fun challenging test of your game. It has great tee box locations for the short and long hitters. You will find it to be in good condition most of the year and make sure you save time for breakfast in the club before you go out and play. This resort is a stones throw from downtown Pinehurst and I feel a little more quiet and less busy than the Pinehurst Resort.
The Pine Needles staff are friendly and helpful and make the whole experience complete. If you are heading to the Sandhills of NC check this place out. You will not be disappointed.,
