Course Review – Greathorse, MA

Posted on March 13, 2018March 13, 2018by sorenj

Greathorse (Blacks) 6812 yards – 73.9 Rating – 133 Slope – 85 Score Day 28; May  18th, 2017     When I started doing research on courses, one of the things that jumped out at me was the 150+ bunkers (over 8 per hole!) that Greathorse boasted… then I got an email from them saying […]

Course Review – Redtail Mountain, Tennessee

Redtail Mountain (Blues) 6676 yards – 72.3 Rating – 126 Slope – 81 Score Day 19; May  9th, 2017   I’m going to preface this review by saying the day we played Redtail it was cold, wet and foggy, with an emphasis on wet… The main point in starting with that is to let you […]

Course Review – Fox Hopyard, Connecticut

Posted on March 10, 2018by sorenj

Fox Hopyard (Blues) 6512 yards – 72.6 Rating – 131 Slope – 81 Score Day 17; May  7th, 2017   I’ve always been a fan of target golf, quite frankly, mostly because I’m pretty good with my medium and short irons and terrible with a driver in my hand. While I wouldn’t classify Fox Hopyard […]

The Ledges (Tips) 7145 yards – 74.2 Rating – 133 Slope – 88 Score Day 4; April  24th, 2017 I’ll preface all of this by saying that I decided to play from the tips at The Ledges, a first for me.  At 7145, with a 74.2 rating (133 slope) from there, this was, on paper […]

Course Review – Old Works, Montana

Posted on March 2, 2018by sorenj

Old Works (Copper) 6776 yards – 71.9 Rating – 125 Slope – 81 Score Day 46; June  5th, 2017 The signature element of Old Works is the black slag bunkers, and you can’t miss them when you are on the course.  In fact to me, at first, they kept appearing to be water rather than […]

Course Review – Spirit Hollow, Iowa

Spirit Hollow (Blacks) 6589 yards – 71.4 Rating – 124 Slope – 85 Score Day 38; May  28th, 2017 So, I’m going to start with something completely non-golf (because I’m afraid I’ll forget it). As you play down through the green on the first hole, don’t forget to look back and take in the old […]

Royal Hawaiian (Blacks) 6086 yards – 71.5 Rating – 132 Slope – 81 Score Day 50(!); June  9th, 2017   The back nine at Royal Hawaiian is pretty open and very playable; the front is called Jurassic Park and I was cautioned to bring a (few) backup sleeve(s) of ball(s).  I got started on ten […]
