Note to self: Bring my own beer next time!…read more
I know beer is not everyone's main concern when hitting the links. But, for me and my group, it's kind of what helps take the edge off being terrible at golf!
Love this place. It has 9 holes that consist of a few par 4's mixed into mainly par 3's. Getting here at 7:30AM is the best, since you will miss the lazy people coming in just before noon. Trust me, they come in quickly around 9-10AM.
$16 bucks for 9 holes, with the option to replay for another $8. Not a bad deal.
Beer, on the other hand, is priced a little more than I've grown accustomed to. The super helpful girl at the counter informed me that other places are almost twice as expensive. That's cool and all, but, I'll just not drink, then. Problem solved.
Beer prices:
24oz. PBR - $4.00
24oz. Sapporo - $5.50
12pk of Bud light - $32.00, seriously.
They have some 12oz cans of Newcastle and other beers which I've never seen in canned form, before. But, after hearing the price for the 12 pack, I just quit asking.
Greens are fast, even with the morning dew. These f*ckers propel the ball, it seems!
Fairways are wide enough for most average to semi-average golfers.
Sand traps and the softness of sand will vary from day to day. As the sun creeps up and dries off the sand, it gets a bit easier to get back up. There are a fair amount of sand traps, too. Shoot safely, you have a good chance off staying out of them if you play the patient and cautious game.
Hole 2, nice sized pond. Excellently placed for those who like to play aggressively. If you hit your shot right, you can put yourself in the perfect position to birdie. Hit it wrong, you are swimming in the lake. Oh ya, there's also a marshy area on the opposite side of the fairway. Good luck!
Overall, pleasant golfing for all. Get there early, bring some beer and friends.
Last thing, if you are the young-looking guy that hit ahead of my group on Saturday the 19th, you sir, are a f*cking douchebag. If you knew how to hit a ball, maybe you wouldn't have hit that house. D*ckweed, if I didn't have all those older people in my group I would have seriously f*cked your day up.
Don't be an ass, people. You are not playing in the damn Master's.
