Some Progress is Good

It's two years later and thing are looking up a bit.
They have a fresh and friendly bundle of energy in the pro shop named Kylie and she is a real asset to this property.
Kylie was very welcoming and even went out of her way to open the restroom on the back nine that maintenance had forgotten.
Speaking of those "on the course" Trolls, the two mower drivers who
spent their working hours bothering golfers today need to be retrained. These employees are clueless about keeping a low profile.
The course itself has benefitted from all the new saplings that were planted several years ago and they should be awesome in a decade or so.
The greens had been punched about a week ago and are a long way from being back to normal.
This course still holds the title Fire Ant Central of Bexar County. The nasty ants are all over and some times hard to see.
The tees are still a work in progress but the fairways are thriving. Too bad it isn't all grass growing out there.
Holes #14 and #15 are two long par fives back to back that will challenge. Holes #4 and #7 have lakes in play but there are not a lot of water hazards here.
The fairways are thick and so there is not much roll and that adds to
the difficulty here.

On Any Given Day, Timing is Everything

We just played the tougher of the two Gleneagles' golf courses, The King's Course.
Timing is everything when you play any golf course and today our timing was less than optimum.
This is an impressive layout right in the middle of Plano, Texas.
They are surrounded by lots of McMansions here.
We were greeted by Shawn who took our clubs and put them on our cart. The pro shop is impressive with enough merchandise to draw this visitor.
The dynamic duo of Texas Ian and Tarheel Ian run the pro shop counter in a cordial and efficient manner.
The starter was a friendly octogenarian who put us on the tee box straight away.
Timing showed up as a negative quickly. They have too many maintenance employees running willy nilly around the course. Most with little regard for golfers.
I found out that they had a fungus invade the greens here. As a result, most of the greens had large bare areas on the edges of the greens that were a yard wide and an inch and a half deep.
They had several crews filling these bare spots with new sod.
The crews were all over the holes and kept up a constant chatter.
Our shots approaching the greens were deflected or stalled in the bare areas.
Another negative was the arbitrary and random selection of Cart Path Only holes without any notice when all fairways were dry at 2 PM. Many of these CPO holes were par 5's. Holes 10, 8, 12, 16, and 18 were also the most difficult with meandering berns all over the fairway.
They had an ice and cold towel station at #13.
There is a Kings Table snack bar/restroom area that's centrally located
at #1, #9, #10, and #18. They had no buns for the hot dogs on this day.
Hole 16 was surrounded by lakes on both sides of the fairway and the green was covered with bunkers.
Hole #11 is a long par 3 with all carry over a deep gorge from the back tees.
The back nine is more difficult with many deep creeks wandering on the fairways.
This is a difficult layout under normal circumstances but the distractions caused by the green repair crews and marauding maintenance workers should be an anomaly, I hope.

Byron Nelson Reshapes the N.Texas Landscape

We spent four hours playing their 18 hole golf course.
Thursday is not the optimum day to tee it up here, the old guys have
their men's league at 9 AM and that means slow play as they dilly dally on the greens making wagers.
This clubhouse and course was built in 1994 and is a great golfing venue. Matt and Eric do a fine job with members in the pro shop.
Jason with the cart valet was a great help in describing this layout.
He is one of those positive employees who welcome members.
The biggest asset here is their 84-year-old starter. Mr. Forsyth, he was amazing,
cheerful and helpful.
The course is in excellent condition, the fairways, tees, and greens are in pristine condition.
Hole #1 has the look of a seaside links course in Ireland. The fairway is broad with many berms channeling sand dunes. The green is large, slopes downhill and had the pin located in the tip.
This course was designed by Byron Nelson with so many berms
that the flat topography of N. Texas is transformed into a hilly seaside venue.
The two signature holes are #15 and #18. Hole 15 is a short uphill
right dogleg with two large trees in the fairway and woods on right and left.
Hole #18 is a Monster par five that will intimidate even low
handicappers. Your third shot will be a 185 carry over the water to an elongated, narrow, and uphill island green. Ouch!

A Nice Redo in New Braunfels

This local course is the perfect example of what condition a Muny should be In. They have good course maintenance here.
Hello, Alamo Golf Trail and Fort Sam golf.
The pro shop was very friendly with Cy at the counter and their starter permitted us to tee off early.
The tees and greens are in great condition. The fairways are clearly defined and they all grass and no weeds.
The renovation made this a classy shot makers course.
They will sneak up on you with holes two and four. There's water hidden at the end of both holes and it will jump up and grab you. No driver on hole two and no fairway wood on approach to hole number four.
The pace of play was just over four hours and this place was busy.
They have plenty of signs and neat tee box markers along with upgraded lavatories.
This is a neat place to play golf and should be on your list of local
Courses to play.
This is a very popular place so choose your tee time carefully.

Fort Sam Golf Now Restricted

We have been playing the two eighteen hole courses here since 2012.
On March 4, 2019 Fort Sam Houston has become a restricted area.
Golfers who are not carrying official DOD IDs need to have a permit issued by the Fort Sam Visitors Center.
They can issue either a four day pass or a six month pass card.
The base MIS computer has been down since last weekend so they can only issue four day passes.

The La Loma course is more wide open and has an easy flow.
The fairways have bare spots and there are weeds all over. The rough consists of grass and weeds had become
Very thick. It is easy to lose your tee shot if you land in the rough.
The greens and tees are below average for the area.

On a balmy but windy spring day an early tee time was essential.
After we teed off, about 15 groups were lined up on the first tee.
This is a popular course for retired military and it is handy to most areas of San Antonio.

There Has Been a Major Change at Both Fort Sam Golf Courses

Effective Monday, March 4, 2019, the 36 holes at Fort Sam Houston are no longer open to civilians without prior issued permits.
In order to maintain tighter security at this large base you cannot just walk on here and play.
There will be a pass/permit issued to all non-DOD personnel after submission of an application with photo ID...
We had a tee time with Golf Now but were not allowed to play golf.
Of course, Golf Now knew nothing about the policy change.
There are good layouts here but they NEED more maintenance.
We played here last month. There was hardly anyone on the course so we had a 2.5 hour
round. They have so much maintenance to catch up on here. The weeds are winning the fairway battle, the greens were spotty and bumpy, and the tees were terrible.

Lack of Maintenance is a Blemish

We really like this course and Joseph the pro shop manager is a very friendly guy.
This is a historic Tillinghast layout that’s close to 100 years old.
This time there does not appear to be much if any maintenance being performed regularly here.
The vast majority of the greens are messed up and the tees are not mowed. There is an infestation of weeds everywhere, much of the fairways have little or no grass.
Hole #4 through #8 you play the old course around ancient trees and then holes #9 to #18 you are wide open.
#17 is a tough par 3 with the green protected by a large berm and then a wide bunker. It plays into the wind to add to the challenge.
We like this old course and hope that the US government will do a better job of maintaining this historic gem.

Pace of Play Impaired by Sixsomes

This is the oldest course on Maui along with Maui CC.
They were both started in 1927.
This is the only Maui golf course with holes on the ocean and the only true Muny as it's owned by Maui County. They were cash only here for years, now they will charge
a 2.5% service charge when you use a credit card. Interesting.
You pay Neal the starter $58.00; the locals pay $10. Then you
walk over to the guy who has the cart rental contract and he gets paid $21.
With a tee time at 7:50 AM you might figure that you have an early start and will be finished early. Sorry Brah: Neal the starter has managed to sign two GROUPS of SIX players in front of you. Yes, today there are TWO SIXSOMES in front of you and they are playing Army Golf.
I thought FIVESOMES were bad but I have never seen a SIXSOME.
The course has nice views and good greens on the back nine. This course has only 2 tee boxes which makes it hard on women and senior players.
The fairways and greens on the front nine are in below average condition. The front nine is flat and borders the ocean, the only hidden green is #6.
The wind showed up at 11:30 so we still had an hour and a half to
play in a 20mph gale.
The back nine is like a Roller Coaster as it runs up and down hills with many blind shots to the green.
If the pace of play was decent this would be a fun place to play but under the current management policy of allowing consecutive sixsomes to play during the prime morning hours, I cannot recommend this course.

Golf at Altitude is Cool in Hawaii

This is a popular golf location in Central Maui for the locals.
The altitude is 1200 feet above sea level and that means it's cooler and greener here.
The pace of play is less than four hours.
The pro shop is friendly. Cassie from Lana'i was fun to talk to.
The course is in good condition, except for green 2 which is undergoing renovations.
This layout does not have a lot of hazards like water and sand.
There is a lake in play in front of #10 green. Bunkers surround several greens but they are of minimal effect. Most fairways are cut short and run evenly.
Overall, they have wide open fairways and smooth greens.
The prices are low for Kama'ainas and inexpensive for visitors when you use TeeOff.Com.
One of the best values, with great vistas in Maui golf and we've played them all.

Mountain Goats and Masochists Will Love it Here

This golf course is a mountain goat's dream layout.
There are few level lies here. The layout meanders among a series of dunes and swales between valleys. It rightly should be named The Swales at Maui Lani.
The fairways are thick and there are no rolls. The forward tees are in terrible condition with bare dirt instead of grass.
The greens are heavily grassed with the dreaded "Turtleback" design that is high in the center and lower all around. Most shots landing in the middle of these greens will wind up running off. They putt true but require a firmer stroke.
Many of the greens here appear to be new and they are in good condition, several including #9 are in bad shape.
There are several water hazards on this layout but the real terror is generated by the deep bunkering generously spread throughout this design.
Hole #16 has so many traps it appears as if the hole is one big trap with no fairway.
The Par three holes are relatively short but with small elevated greens and deep bunkers protecting them.
This is a tough layout playing on a calm morning. Teeing off on a windy afternoon could increase scores and lose balls simultaneously.

This is a Sneaky But Fun to Play Course

Old South is a well-managed and very customer friendly golf course.
Adam was our cart guy and he was helpful and efficient.
Betty in the pro shop was smiling and informative.
Walt, the retired Air Force officer who served in the same part of Nam that I did was a good story teller.
They have almost new practice balls and they give a large bucket to hit. This course is popular and gets plenty of play.
There are lots of hazards here in addition to the Gator who lounges on a rock in front of the clubhouse.
They haven't had rain in awhile and they are quite dry. Several of the fairways and greens have been impacted.
There are a few long challenging long marsh carries on holes #8, #16, and 17. These are 150 yard carries uphill into the wind over a marsh.
Despite the tricky 90 degree holes over marshes, most of the holes
are set up to be fair and with par attainable.
The design is a classic links course with plenty of berms and elevated greens. The green on #11 was a corker. The greens on hole #14, and #18 are in tough shape.
They have a cheerful Ranger on patrol constantly to check on any delays.
Old South is a tough/fun golf course. It's a Keeper.

Early Bird Gets the Worm

We had the first tee time at 7:52 AM.
We were greeted by Bryan our cart attendant. He immediately took our clubs and set them up on our cart.
The pro shop was friendly and we had a smooth check-in.
We met the very friendly starter, Jim from Yardley, Pa.
The pace of play was less than three hours and that's my kind of golf game.
This course gets a lot of play and you can see it in the wear and tear on the greens. They were in decent condition and ran fast.
The tee boxes were not in good condition and I was told they will be reseeded next week. The fairways were uneven and soft. The rough has gotten very dense.
There is water in play on over half the holes here. Hole #15 has a diabolical hidden lake on the left side in front of the green that an unknowing golfer, even with a straight shot, will cause the ball to go in the drink. Hole #18 has a large lake in front of the green on the right side forcing most golfers to hit a fade from a left-side lie.
There are plenty of challenging par fives and a nasty short par 3 with the narrowest green.
Despite the 20 mph wind, this is a fun course to play.

A Warm Walk in Savannah

We visited here on an October day that tied a 100-year heat record with a heat index at 115. That is hotter than it gets in my part of Texas.
This golf course is on an island in the Savannah River. There are more aggressive mosquitos here than almost anywhere we have played.
This course is managed by Troon so all the employees here are first class. The pro shop was friendly as was the starter and Carrie in the grill.
We were using a good mosquito repellent but these bugs were not deterred. They attacked us through our clothing.
The course is flat with wide fairways. The greens are mostly very small, and narrow and were rolling about a ten. There are not a lot of
impressively designed holes or tricked up elevations here. What you see is what you get.
The wide fairways are an illusion. They have created a deep rough on both sides of the fairway that undulates and meanders. On one hole the draw will disappear and on the following hole, your fade is lost. The fairways are thick and slow with no roll.
There wasn't a lot of play today and our friendly starter allowed us to start at number 10. They named this hole Slamming Sammie in honor of Sam Snead, one of the course designers. Hole 10 is a short easy
dogleg right with bunkers in the front right. The nasty hole is #17. There is a huge lake in front of a narrow uphill green into the prevailing wind.
This course is more difficult with slow fairways and distracting mosquitos. They definitely need to start a mosquito abatement program
ASAP or hope for a very cold winter.

This Classic Donald Ross Course is Back

This country club changed ownership and its name in March 2018.
There is a lot of history here. The golf course was designed by the Iconic Scotch architect Donald Ross in 1927.
During the late nineteen twenties and thirties, this club was the gathering place for the New York and Chicago Mafia.
The classic old hotel was originally named The Oglethorpe in honor of the founder of the state of Georgia.
Connor was an outstanding fellow in the pro shop. He was so accommodating and helpful.
The golf course is in good condition with impressive greens. There are 200-year-old oaks and pine trees surrounding the course. Water is used to intimidate on half a dozen holes with some tough carries. All holes have bunkering but do need a lot of sand added to upgrade from dirt.
The restaurant there was a big and pleasant surprise. Their grille room was active on a Sunday afternoon. Aleigha was our very helpful server.
My blackened grouper was amazing and the trio of shrimp salad, tuna salad, and chicken salad was tasty.
My BW had the Caesar salad and the bowl of She Crab soup. Both of these dishes disappeared quickly.
The new chef here is named Frank and he's a keeper.

A Nice Starter Layout

We have played the Championship course before, but this weekend it was closed due to all the rain in the DFW area. The Master's course was all booked up so our foursome had the opportunity to play the beginners layout named the Presidents course.
Brookhaven is a great place for young families. My grandchildren enjoy their many activities.
This is a fun layout with regular sand traps and not much water. The course is 6177 yards from the senior tees. The greens were in good shape and rolled well.
The course design is straightforward with a few doglegs and not many problems on the fairways.
This was a good course to play on a wet day because it does drain well. There are plenty of mature trees on every hole but they do not distract or create problems with your shot.
The busy pro shop was friendly and the pace of play was good.
Brookhaven Presidents is a good test for beginners and a nice relaxing round for regular golfers on a wet day.

Hackberry Challenges

This golf course was in beautiful condition and our pace of play was excellent. We had played here about 30 years ago and it is interesting how much tougher Hackberry is now.(LOL)
There was some drainage work being done on hole #1 so we started on hole ten.
The greens were uniformly fast and tricky, the tees were smooth just like the fairways.
There are numerous creeks and lakes winding through this golf course. Water comes into play on 16 holes and there are bunkers on every hole some of them deep.
The par five hole #3 has a very elevated and narrow green with a deep trap below to catch shots approaching the green into the wind.
There are plenty of long carries, narrow fairways, and hidden hazards to give most golfers indigestion.
The pro shop was friendly but we never saw a starter.
Hackberry Creek is a fine test of golf and will be back on our bucket list.

Dyeabolical and magnificent.

This Pete Dye course is supposed to be more difficult than his more famous creation known for toughness, the Stadium Course at PGA West, according to Mr. Pete Dye himself.
This wonderful golf layout was created from raw farmland in North Texas forty years ago.
Dye has a reputation for diabolical course design and all his best is on display here. Dye visited Scotland in 1963 and made a thorough study of its classic courses. The Scottish use of pot bunkers, bulkheads constructed of wood, and diminutive greens influenced his subsequent designs. He also initiated island greens and tiny greens on the water's
edge hitting into the wind.
Our experience in the pro shop was stellar. We met with Mr. Tim Keightley, formerly of Dublin, Ireland and the Irish tour. Tim has eyes on the PGA Senior Tour and just missed qualifying for the US Senior Open. It was great visiting with Tim who is also the starter.
Hole #1 is a short par 4 with a 150-yard carry over a field of high native grasses. The next shot is downhill to a tiny elevated green surrounded by deep bunkers.
Long, forced carries, and huge berms located on the perimeter will force good shots into collection areas unless struck perfectly.
Every hole had multiple surprises and challenges.
Tiny greens, elevation changes, pot bunkers, water carries into strong prevailing breezes, and railroad ties are everywhere.
Pristine greens and fairways, and demanding shots on every hole make this an outstanding golf course.

Beautiful and Sneaky Tough

We had a tee time at the Queen's course this morning.
I met Ronnie in the pro shop and he was extra courteous and spent a lot of time describing this layout.
The practice greens and bunkers are in pristine condition.
Our starter was a gentleman named Tom, he was so helpful and friendly and he even allowed us to tee off early due to a no-show group,
This is a sneaky design by Bruce Devlin that hides all the water on this track well. Water is in play on almost all 18 holes here but is mostly not obvious until you find it lurking behind one of the multiple berms.
The Crenshaw bent grass greens are flawless and the fairways are smooth but flat lies are rare.
There are lots of mature trees here and were welcome on a hot June day.
They have an amazing cart girl who happened to show up just when you needed her. She was smart enough to remain unobserved until the shot was finished.
The par 5 #3 hole can be tough for first-timers. You are faced with a narrow dogleg right and meandering berms left and right, then a steep drop in the fairway for a deep concrete drainage channel, and on the left is a deep berm that hides a small lake.
The transition from hole #3 to 4 is confusing as there are two par three holes. Make sure you cross the creek after 3 and look for #4 tee.
Hole nine is deceptive and hard to find the fairway. You are faced with a field of high berms and bunkers with a deep creek in front of an elevated green.
Hole 16 uses water in multiple locations with sand to be one of the toughest threats to par on this course.
When you finish tricky 18 you'll be glad that you survived.
This is a beautiful test of golf and will keep club members on their toes.

Pricey Course With Nice Views

After I read all the glowing reviews on Canyon Mesa, I was ready for
an impressive golf course.
,Willie is the Pro here and he is a nice friendly fellow who hails from the Detroit area of Michigan.
This course is 33 years old so all the trees and bushes have had plenty of time to grow up.
The price for a twosome to play 9 holes with a cart is pretty steep.
It's only 1000 yards from the red tees. If you figure cost based upon yards played you are looking at a very costly round of golf.
Most of the holes are straight forward and simple. Hole #5 is 160 yards from the white tees over a lake and fountain into the prevailing wind.
The longest hole is 260 yards from the white tees. The tee box lines you up perfectly to the creek on the left and the green is obscured by a grove of trees.
The toughest handicap hole was #8 a blind dogleg right over a ditch.
Most of the fairways were not mowed and the ball stopped immediately. In addition, there were weeds and dandelions in the fairway. The greens appear to have been punched 3 weeks ago, and they were bumpy and slow as well as undulating.
They have a men's league every morning and the guys are in slo-mo.
That's a nearly 2 hour time frame on a pitch and putt course.

A Red Rock Classic

This golf course is 50 years old and that means all those pine, cottonwood, and oak trees are nice and tall and give great protective shade to this course.
There's Kentucky Blue grass in the fairways and rough with bent grass greens. The greens are fine except for several which need attention.
Playing golf this time of year in Sedona is idyllic. There is low humidity and balmy breezes despite temps in the upper 80s.
The views of the majestic red rocks surrounding this course cannot be equaled.
There is no water on this course and no cart girl and that does not work in Arizona or anywhere else.
The design of this golf course is only moderately difficult and it is quite enjoyable to play.
Sand on almost all holes is the biggest challenge, water comes into play on holes 4, 6, 7, and 18.
Sand bunkers are used to protect 14 greens. Local rules permit removal of red rock pebbles from bunkers.
This is a unique golf course and an opportunity to play here should not be missed.
