Vermont National (Gold) 6477 yards – 71 Rating – 130 Slope – 84 Score Day 31; May 21st, 2017 Over the course of our trip we developed a few habits. One of which was me asking Melanie, somewhere around the 7th or 8th hole, what she thought of the course. There were lots of […]

Course Review – Saddle Creek – California
Saddle Creek (Whites) 6040 yards – 70.0 Rating – 126 Slope – 86 Score Day 2; April 22nd, 2017 It doesn’t take long on the course at Saddle Creek to realize this is a special layout. Set in the rolling foothills of Copperopolis (“Copper” to the locals) the course fully utilizes the natural elevation […]
Course Review – Warren Golf Course; Notre Dame, Indiana
Warren Golf Course (Blues) 6744 yards – 71.5 Rating – 128 Slope – 82 Score Day 36; May 26th, 2017 Something to get out of the way quickly. The course at Warren is not currently “complete.” As it set up for me the course played to a 70 (usually a 71) because the par […]
Course Review – Heritage Hill, Kentucky
Heritage Hill (Tips) 7142 yards – 72.8 Rating – 136 Slope – 86 Score Day 20; May 10th, 2017 I had the first tee time at Heritage Hill and about 10 minutes before that time as I was warming up around the tee box, the group behind me encouraged me to go. I was […]

The Lakes at Laura S. Walker (whites) 6069 yards – 68.9 Rating – 119 Slope – 84 Score Day 16; May 6th, 2017 Teeing off at 2:00 pm in Georgia can be a rather warm experience, and my afternoon at The Lakes at Laura S Walker state park was no exception; by 2:10 […]
Course Review – Cochiti, New Mexico
Cochiti Golf Club (Blues) 6413 yards – 69.8 Rating – 117 Slope – 86Score Day 6; April 26th, 2017 As the last course on my “Southwest Swing” Cochiti was, by far, the most “Southwest” (at least in the sense of what I expected going into the rounds). High desert surroundings (Sage Brush, small scraggly trees, […]
Course Review – Sedona Golf Resort, Arizona
Sedona (Blues) 6646 yards – 71.1 Rating – 134 Slope – 84 Score Day 5; April 25th, 2017 Most of the reviews I have read about Sedona Golf Resort talk about a feature that is 5 or 7 miles (I’m guessing) away. Other than this paragraph, I’m not going to do that (much). Yes, […]
Course Review – The Woods
The Woods (Blues) 6621 yards – 72 Rating – 125 Slope – 87 Score Day 21; May 11th, 2017 I’ll preface this by saying that I played in RAIN at The Woods. I have (quite literally, no hyperbole here) never been this wet when I wasn’t actually immersed in water. I had the first tee […]
Course Review – Deerfield, Delaware
Deerfield (Blues) 6323 yards – 71.1 Rating – 136 Slope – 88 Score Day 25; May 15th, 2017 If I had to describe Deerfield in a word, I would say “green, lush, and blind.” I really couldn’t decide between these options, so I’d have to let you choose. I don’t know if I’ve ever […]
