flip a coin

Like my tires, my age (78) is less important than the wear and tear. As such, I have moved up. The result was 4 pars and 14 bogies. Handicap for such a round would be 21+, but who cares, I had fun!

What a difference a day makes

The last time I played this course, about 2 years ago, it was sadly in need of some care. This time most holes were in good shape. Keep it up!

Monster course can be fun if ...

Ten years ago I played white tees and white tees can wear you out! Now I (age 78) have moved forward and, while it doesn't change my HC, it is a lot more fun.

The better part of valor

Given my age and more to the point, my physical condition, I have sought distances which for me come closer to the course architect's vision of appropriate play ... in short I have moved up! I highly recommend doing so. It doesn't really impact my handicap, given the lower course rating and lower slope, but it is a lot more fun. A few more pars, but a lot fewer double bogies ( and the dreaded others!).

If only they would spend some money and fix the course up it would be most welcome.

I had a good time, but being an out of towner I didn't realize how far away this course was from south International drive.

Forced carrie and , huge undulating greens make this a formidable challenge.

Weeds, weeds, weeds!

It has been a while since I played The Oaks (covid, knee surgeries, etc) and the years have not been kind. the greens are fine, but the tee boxes desperately need work as do the fairways.

Map?

Course was in great condition. My only complaint is that there is no ,ap on the scorecard. When combined with invisible hazards (twice) the score goes up unfortunately.

Progress!

About 5 years ago, we played Tamarack and it was a mess. apparently the grass had been invaded by a deleterious problem, leaving tee boxes and fairways without grass. Infuriated that we had to pay for the experience, we chose not to play Tamarack again.

Things change and it was just as refreshing this time as it was infuriating the last time we played.

Improved!

I have always enjoyed playing HH as it is so different when compared to most northern Illinois courses, but I really think the grounds crew has done an excellent job.

We found Gleneagles to be a fun course, but I had a good front nine and my partner had a good back nine. I should leave early and he should come late!

Bentgrass not Bermuda!

At 76, with congenital back problems, I prefer to play about 5500 yards. As such, I create my own hybrid courses. Holes rated 1,2,3,and 4 I moved up from white to gold, but the hills got me. thank goodness for the greens. 32 putts (no 3 putts). Great course!

Quite the challenge!

At age 76 I have discovered that the forward tees allow me to play the game more in line with the architect's vision. I must admit, however, that I don't often encounter a 126 slope playing forward. Tough but fun!
