I got to play a new course yesterday. Called Rancho Maria https://www.ranchomariagolf.com/
It was a great time with a buddy, it was worth the $60. I went around a new course with 49/53-102. The greens were a little bumper than I'm used to, and I think that's the only negative thing I can think of for the place. My buddy and I were fairly evenly matched on both nines. He took the front by just one stroke, it didn't help that I screwed up hole 2 with a tee shot OB, a shot from the fairway OB, and carded a 10. My driving yesterday was pretty good aside from 2 and 18, I was able to play everything else I hit off the tee. On the back 9, we were neck and neck until 14, where I gained a stroke. Hole 16 I got 2 more with a nice drive, a low running 7 iron that put me on the green. I ended up 15-20 feet from the hole with a slight downhill putt. I made the birdie putt.
Hole 17 I screwed up a shot from 150 out, a chip, and I got a double.
18 kicked my ass. I power faded one OB. It was a beautiful ball flight, nice and high, justvwrong direction. 2nd ball off the tee put me into the left rough after a bounce off a tree. 5 wood from there into the fairway, slight slice from the fairway to the right rough and about 40 yards to the green with a tree in the way of a high approach. 9 iron bump and run got caught up in the rough next to the green, chip on and 3 putt for a 10. Burger after the round was ok, nothing special at all. We agreed that next time we will be hitting a burger joint so we can get a good burger, and fries.
The pic is from next to the entrance, I got it when we were on 16, my buddy put his approach shot past the green and in the rough.
