Course Review – Fossil Trace, Colorado

Posted on September 5, 2017by sorenj

Fossil Trace (T-Rex) 6577 yards – 71.4 Rating – 136 Slope – 81 Score Day 44; June 3rd, 2017   I played the 6577 “T-Rex” tees at Fossil Trace (because, really, how do you not play the “T-Rex” tees???) and I found the track pretty true to its 71.4/136 rating.  There is a nice variety […]

Triggs Memorial (Blues) 6533 yards – 71.8 Rating – 131 Slope – 82 Score Day 27; May 17th, 2017   The first comment I made to my wife as we walked down the number 1 fairway at Triggs Memorial golf course was that this should be called “old growth golf.”  Much like an old growth […]

Black Diamond (Blues) 6462 yards – 71.3 Rating – 130 Slope – 81 Score Day 34; May 24th, 2017 The old adage “never judge a book by its cover” might have been written for Black Diamond.  Nestled somewhat remotely in the rolling hills of Ohio the drive-up first impression (what do they call it now […]

Posted on August 15, 2017by sorenj

Buffalo Dunes (Brown) 6891 yards – 74 Rating – 129 Slope – 88 Score Day 8; April 28th, 2017   So – to start with – I have to admit, I selected Buffalo Dunes to play in Kansas because I liked the satellite photo of the course fitting into a “crop circle” in the middle […]

Prairie Green (Gold) 6087 yards – 70.4 Rating – 124 Slope – 77 Score Day 6; April 26th, 2017   I’ll start this review by saying this was the first round I have played from the “regular” tee’s in a long time.  I played there because I wanted to work on my irons and I […]

Anchorage Golf Course (tips) 6601 yards – 71.4 Rating – 129 Slope – 88 Score Day 49; June 8th, 2017   The first thing I have to say about Anchorage is that I only played 17 ½ holes; needing to concede number four to a mama moose who was bathing in the greenside pond (this […]

Poland Spring (Blues) 6156 yards – 69.3 Rating – 124 Slope – 85 Score Day 29; May 19th, 2017   The first thing you notice (literally the first thing I noticed) about Poland Spring is the history.  Built in the late 1800’s and one of America’s oldest courses; this track has hosted many of the […]

Black Diamond Ranch (tips) 7025 yards – 73.5 Rating – 134 Slope – 91 Score Day 15; May 5th, 2017   From lush playing surfaces, and breathtaking quarry views, to Spanish moss clad trees and quick challenging greens; Black Diamond Ranch will not leave you wanting for atmosphere or golf.  You don’t need the quarry […]

Cherokee Hills (Blues) 6298 yards – 71 Rating – 121 Slope – 87 Score Day 6; April 26th, 2017   I’ll preface this all by saying I am not going to address the condition of the course beyond this paragraph.  Tulsa was hit by a major storm system (multiple systems actually) yesterday (when I was […]
