Better "Dubs Dread" than "Dubs Dread!"

I enjoy playing Dubs Dread Orlando! I find it challenging, but not impossible, unlike "Dubs dread Chicago!"

Disney at last!

Finally got to play a Disney course without the double whammy of "paying through the nose" and suffering an emotional "broken nose" from a very difficult course. I had fun and actually I am quite happy with a 93!

First course I played after 2 month winter hiatus. As such, it proved to be difficult!

Eaglewood

I love Eaglewood, but I rarely have the round which I think I should. This is because of the greens. Englewood is a relatively short course and so, to keep up the degree of difficulty, the greens have a lot of undulation. Routinely I have ended up with 40+ putts. Not this time! I ended up with 5 one putts and no 3 putts. Sincerely hope that I can continue along this line!

All things considered, not bad

Cold, never played before, some diabolical greens, but had a great time.

Unable to play

My partner just got his vaccination booster for Covid 19 and suffered some side effects. As such he couldn't play and a distance of 40 miles for me prompted me to eat the loss, given the fact that we were within the 24 hour cancellation period. Pity!

Very nice, but at my age, too hard for me (even from the forward tees).

Toto we aren't in Illinois anymore!

Hills! Hills! Hills! When 90% of the local courses are flat as a pancake, HH is an interesting challenge. Just wish that all the fairways were as well kept as the greens.

I's an Arnie!

Crescent Point is pretty typical of a Palmer designed course. If you are young enough and good enough to play the back tees, this course is a monster. Being 75, I played the green tees and had a wonderful time (thank the lord for one putts - 6). One par three green is in bad shape. Hopefully that will be alleviated.

Improvement but way too hot

Improvements have been dramatic, especially the bunkers! The last time I played here, we were told to simply take any ball which went into a bunker and drop it in the grass.
I experienced dehydration once and I have no desire to repeat the experience. As such we gave up the ghost after 13 holes. Rough day!.

Not Cog Hill, but I liked it!

Always an enjoyable experience. However, I would like to know how many decades it takes to learn how to putt on Bermuda grass?

So much for the deal!

When I arrived for my teatime, I was told that I had purchased a nine hole round, not 18 holes. I knew this was wrong, but not having a printer I had no proof and as such I had to pay an additional $20. Annoying!

My kind of course

Indian Boundary is my kind of course. It is as wide as it is long! (well ... close). It is also a course which is divided into a front four, a middle five, and a back nine. (flooded holes had to be redone). Good course for seniors.
