Desert Storm 2023 - Sep 7-9
ALL - Some of the course options have fallen through. Other events, cannot get us out early enough, etc.
In order to not repeat from last year I'm looking at Grayhawk for Saturday. Any other options to consider before I do?
Southern Dunes had another event
Sterling Grove couldn't get us out until 10am, as the morning times are for members
Camelback was similar - Ambiente is a member course and Padre was the only morning option
Troon North and Las Sendas are pricing themselves awfully high
Kierland didn't return my email/call
Sounds like you've been working hard.
Personally, I say don't knock yourself out.
The Verado courses are always great to play even though we have played them. Maybe we simply have to double up on the same course
lookout Mountain
Dinosaur Mountain
Raven
Boulders
Grayhawk
Sunridge Canyon
Papago ( apparently much improved)
Forgot to include...
Dinosaur - no early times
Sunridge is never open during September
Boulders, more expensive than Grayhawk
Raven and Verrado were last year - trying not to repeat
I'm just going to book Grayhawk I think.
I updated the first post several days ago, but wanted to post the rounds here for any that did not see it.
Its time to start telling me what rounds you're in for. Afternoon rounds are completely optional, as usual.
Thanks!

I'm in for the morning rounds. Maybe an afternoon one depending how I feel. If anyone is planning pre official desert storm rounds I'm probably up for those as well just let me know. See everyone in few months

Hey Vinnie,
I'm getting in around noon on Saturday the 2nd and hoping to play that early afternoon. Thinking Raven or Papago. I've reached out to James ( Customgolf) and Jack so maybe you can round out the 4-some....will touch base in a few weeks
Weirfan sounds good just let me know
