I had a hard time choosing between the All American club and Augusta. Loved the summer weather in Kohler.

I was about to say when I read your post that I thought you went this summer. The thing is, there is a chance to get to play kohler...I don't have much of a shot at augusta.

I guess it depends on how the counter girl looks....

Agree. I walked the course twice but will never get to play.

 

[utchatt]

What is the best course you have played. For me I played Oakmont in 2002 and Pinehurst #3 last year.

I've played both and Augusta is all it's cracked up to be. Most immaculate place in all of golf and incredible place to play. Caddies made it infinitely more playable, but the greens definitely take some of the fun out of playing it. Much of the advice from the caddy, you have to ask if he's serious.

If you don't mind me asking how did you get on at Augusta?

I've heard that about augusta, that as good as it is..the greens are silly. I haven't been yet, i'm planning on seeing the masters this year....how hilly is it really to play?

I'll have to look up that old thread and read your thoughts on the place, I hear it is great...

 

[BigPapaVol]

that was someone else who went last summer. i went in 2003 and 2005. played all of the courses. unbelievable collection of courses.

 

[BigPapaVol]

augusta doesn't feel mountainous like the homestead, but there are some amazingly uphill approaches.

 

[DovaVol]

Are there any other Memphis golfers that post on here? If so where do you play?

BPV- How'd you get on there if you don't mind me asking? I've always heard about how rediculously private and hard to get on there it is.

Have you played Sawgrass?

Have you played Sawgrass?

a few times right after grad school. buddy has an uncle that lives on the course so we rolled down and played for a week, nearly gratis.

great place and well done, but didn't like the course much. Has a very tricked up, gimmicky sort of feel. that was several years ago and I'm sure the changes since then have helped. One of the most difficult courses I've ever been on.

I have a friend that lives in a condo on Sawgrass and he is a junior member (his dad is a full member). I have played it multiple times and the recent changes to the course make it better. The fairways aren't as sandy as they once were, so you lie in the fairways improve. It is one of my favorites and I am palying it again this year at my friends wedding. Are you in East TN?

those long skinny fairways with no 1st cut and 5 inch rough were hideous. Definitely hurt my experience there. Hitting 2 iron on a 440 yd beast is not my idea of a good time. Might not have helped that I wasn't playing very well while there. Another course to fall in love with down there (it's considerably further south) is the Medalist at Hobe Sound.

I live in Northwest Arkansas.

In college I really liked Lambert Acres out in Maryville. One, it is cheap and two, they don't take tee times so could just go whenever I had some free time without planning for it. Also, it is a 27 hole course, so there is more variety.

try golf865.com or whatever it's called now as well.

That link will hook you straight up. You can get some great deals especially this time of year. :good!:

Thanks all...I'll look into it
