Golfspy_CG2 25,354 Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Fantasy valley in Maryland. Not the best course but my God did it play tough. Narrow and thick rough couple times it fell like my wrist was going to break. Where in MD is this?

PAgolfer2017 1,933 Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Penobscot Valley Country Club in Orono Maine. Not a long course, and not a narrow course, but turtle back greens made my round adventurous haha. I hit the ball really well, but chipping and putting were awful.

MaxEntropy 6,624 Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 I would have to say the Palmer Course at Geneva National in Lake Geneva, WI. It's hard to say, though, because I was still pretty new to the game when I played it, so the perceived difficulty might have had a lot to do with my skills or lack thereof. 1 Quote Driver: Tour B JGR 9.5* Recoil 460ES cut to 45" 3W: Tour B JGR 15* Recoil 460ES 3H, 4H: Tour B JGR 19*, 23* Recoil 780ES 4-PW: Tour B JGR HF2 Modus3 Tour 105 AW: S5 52* SW: 588 LW: MD3 Putter: Stroke Lab Marxman Bag: Tour B Stand Bag Ball: Z-Star Pushcart: BigMax iQ+ Tester Starting Driver Speed on PRGR Monitor: 102 mph Final Driver Speed (end of Level 2): 120 mph Link to post Share on other sites

Brian A 1,006 Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Hands down Oaktmont CC. Shot 100 (after 4 straight rounds in low 80s at other courses). Granted the caddy and I didnt see eye to eye and after starting out with 35 on the first 5 holes, I told him just give me a distance and carry my bag, I'll decide what and where to hit. 65 on the last 13 holes. The greens are as tough as Ive been told they are, if you didnt drain the putt it ran by the hole 5-10 feet. If you miss small, you're in a bunker. Still one one of the most amazing courses but it was tough 2 Quote Driver: TS 2, Hzrdus Smoke Black Stiff 9.5* Setting, A2 Fairway Wood: G30 Stiff Shaft Hybrid: TS2 19* Hzrdus Smoke Black Stiff shaft Irons: 718 AP1 (4-PW) AMT Red Stiff Shafts Wedges: RTX4 52* 56* Putter: Scotty Cameron Golo 5 Right Handed Pittsburgh, PA Link to post Share on other sites

Brian A 1,006 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Granted the caddy and I didnt see eye to eye: Yep. That is the reason every time. (Face palm) Shot an avg of 2 strokes lower per hole when I quit listening to him... Just examples, first hole was 140 out, he said hit your 120 club due to the wind and downhill. I hit it pure and was 15 yards short. 2nd hole, said I was 30 yards out, again great shot, went 30 yards, right in to a deep trap, he goes oh, I think I was wrong on yardage, double checked it, it was 50 yards. Another time said club up to 210 club, I said I dont think I should. smoked it well over the green.

Sent from my SM-G935P using MyGolfSpy mobile app That's a little over an hour from my house. Seems like a good location to have a meet-up with Columbus and Northern Ohio guys? Satellite view looks very intriguing. It looks like some of the fairways neck down to barely more than 3 mowers wide. I assume that's not the target, but it would still be intimidating to look at. 1 Quote Driver: Tour B JGR 9.5* Recoil 460ES cut to 45" 3W: Tour B JGR 15* Recoil 460ES 3H, 4H: Tour B JGR 19*, 23* Recoil 780ES 4-PW: Tour B JGR HF2 Modus3 Tour 105 AW: S5 52* SW: 588 LW: MD3 Putter: Stroke Lab Marxman Bag: Tour B Stand Bag Ball: Z-Star Pushcart: BigMax iQ+ Tester Starting Driver Speed on PRGR Monitor: 102 mph Final Driver Speed (end of Level 2): 120 mph Link to post Share on other sites
Har in the Hat 1,589 Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Ruffled feathers in the Chicago area. As you may not be aware, Canada doesn't have any Pete Dye designed courses,so when I was in Chicago,I had to try this one out. i heard Pete Dye was a mashocist. They aren't kidding. One thing I noticed is that the Chicago area has so many good golf courses. 1 Quote What's in my Mizuno BR-D2 bag OFFICIAL TESTER FOR THE PING i500 CLUBS.

txgolfjunkie 1,739 Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Promontory Golf Club in Park City. I played the tips...8,100 yds. Yes, I know it's a higher elevation but Nicklaus is an absolute d*** when it comes to green complexes. I hit 14 greens and shot 79. I was on point off the tee and hitting greens...problem is I was usually in the wrong area of the green because the pins were tucked on ledges and sharp shelves. F that man. Great golfer but a real jerk course designer. /rant. 1 Quote SIM 10.5* w/ Kyoshi Black 65X tipped 1/2" F7+ 3W 14.5* w/ Hzrdus Black 75 6.5 ZX Utility 18* w/ Project X 6.5 X Forged 21* w/ Dynamic Gold X100 921 SEL 5-PW w/ Dynamic Gold X100 Glide 2.0 Stealth 50*, 54* & 58* w/ AWT 2.0 Toulon Vegas H7 w/ SS Flatso 2.0r '20 Tour B X I'm left-handed so I don't go broke buying all new clubs every week.
