sdandrea1 Gotta be good for the Mon-thurs retired player, yes?

Not necessarily. We have one city owned course. They have a morning set aside for men's league, ladies league and seniors league. You can't get a tee time before noon on any of those three days even if only a few show up to play league stuff so the course just sits empty for hours each day.

sdandrea1 Well, then there is that. 😉

But, I do not understand the shotgun start thing, for every outing. The course loses a lot of revenue. They won't let anyone out within 4 hrs. of the start, unless playing only 9 holes. The outing rounds are typically 5-6 hrs. long, and they don't start til around 11-12. While these courses are closed to the public, there are a lot of other courses, but most will not let singles out, nor will they even give them a tee time. They will say to come on out and we'll see if we can get you on.

Pendleton Golf Club, Ladysmith, VA. This place is nearly always in good shape and has some nice width to it.




Periodically, I organize a group of guys for a golf weekend in Bella Vista, Arkansas and we were there last month for 3 days. Scotsdale Golf Course is always in my rota due to the unique links-style layout on the front and elevation changes on the back. This is #15 from the blue tees and about a 180 yards. This year, two of the guys in my foursome were within 12 feet with their tee balls! I was on the fringe short and right - it is beautiful in this little area of our USA. This particular picture was taken 3 years ago at a previous outing because we were hustling this year to beat an approaching rain shower so there wasn't time for a photo op.

One of my favorite SoCal courses I have played. I will be out there again in late August/September and will play again. Another one in the area I liked and will play again is Hidden Valley. I may hit you up and see if you want to play.

LBlack14 LB, can just anyone play that course? Rates? Might have to make a fall run, when you're healed better.

    LBlack14 - If Min Seo Kwak and Bryson DeChambeau were ever paired together in a format featuring PGA and LPGA players, the starter would have a heyday.
