It’s on an old Army base and they have gravel pits, a slide from the original playground, and the old lookout post still on the course.  Here are a few more photos from their site:

 

That is a really beautiful course Bryan.

Dang that’s a beautiful course!

It’s a real treat. But the prime time rate equals the views! Haha

That being said you’re treated with range balls, new carts, and friendly staff to go with it.

So beautiful but I don't know if I could carry enough balls to complete 18 ...

Unfortunately, I could not compete the challenge this week.

I had a very limited window of time to play the round this weekend. I was able to get out this evening for a twilight round at 5pm. It seemed the course was pretty empty, and I flew through the first 11 holes, not trailing anyone.

Arriving on the 12th hole, I found a group on the tee box, and a group on the next 3 holes.

Seeing that I wouldn’t be able to finish the round in time for some family duties, I packed in for the day.

I was playing decently well, and had only one miscalculation where I was left with my 60* wedge for a tee shot on a par 5 that required me to carry a small pond 110yds. I just took my penalty and played from the drop zone on the other side.

Sorry I couldn’t post a number to challenge you @B.Boston

Week 5 Recap:

As a relative unknown, this week could’ve gone either way. Based on our first hand accounts, 14 in the chamber seems to have been very challenging but extremely rewarding for those that made it through. Course management at its best. Great job everyone! Here’s our competitor’s scores from the week:

and the challengers (who got smoked once again.... noticing a theme?):

Time for the gear draw. Send me a PM to claim your prize:

Thanks to his second win of the season, @daviddvm is your new leader of the challenge:

Week 6 - Closest to the Pin 

Competitors: As we begin the home stretch, it’s time for our guys to get precise. By now, they should be very comfortable with the full set and it’s time to take the training wheels off. This week, our competitors will be firing at flagsticks trying to get closest to the pin. For this week’s entry, we want our competitors taking a picture of a tape measure to verify the exact distance of their closest shot. Anyone got the guts to bring out a school ruler?

Special Rule: Of course you can play a Par 3 course if you choose, but in addition, you may count approach shots from beyond 125y on Par 4s and 5s. 
 

Fans: Group Halloween Costume. A fan favorite for these challenges, let’s see your best impression of a Cobra staffer. This can be done by either an actual costume or photo editing work. Best costume wins this week’s Puma kicks to give next year’s costume a boost. Here’s the full list of staffers... it’s much deeper than you’d think. https://www.cobragolf.com/tour-staff

Oh crap, I could shave my beard (I have not shaved my beard in over 10 years) and just leave Ricky's porn stach, as an impression of a cobra staffer, but I cannot bring my self to do it. maybe....

Alright so here is my update from yesterday’s round and the round I’ll be submitting for this week’s challenge:

Score 81, Slope 133, rating 71.9 on the silver tees (6694 yards). 

Had a great time playing with @Lacassem, @GolfSpy Stroker, and @GolfSpy Barbajo.  

 

I have to say this Challenge was a lot more fun than I thought it would be, especially since I’ve only played this course once before, many moons ago.  The first time through the bag went very well.  To the point where I had to putt with two of my MIM Black wedges.  My plan going in was to reserve my 52* 56* and 60* wedges for one use through a cycle.  so since I did not need them on the first two holes I needed to use one on each of the next three so restart my bag on time.  The second time through the bag got thrown off immediately, but it ended up working out fine because there we some holes that the tee was moved and I was able to adjust.  Putting saved me on several holes but I generally played well.  I did use my putter from 10-15 yards of the green two or three times and was getting comfortable with that towards the end of the round.  

Red Tail is a real treat, at one point it was rated in the top 50 public courses in the USA.  The holes are challenging and varied and the greens have subtle breaks and tiers to work around.  I wasn’t initially sure I was going to give the challenge a second go, but I got all fired up when I saw @daviddvm post a low number.  Unfortunately I think I still missed his excellent round by 3 or 4 strokes but I did improve from my first go around.  

Congratulations to all who tried this challenge! I was more focused through out the round and will hope to carry that forward in future rounds.  

This was my hole of the day:

It was fun watching you work your way through the bag - pretty fancy shooting! And thanks for letting me play from the Old Man tees - let's do it again!

The score be damned this week I will be laying up outside 125 yards on all par 4 and 5 holes

My four competitors should...

[GB13 7,766]

No more aiming at the center of the green this week! It’s time to start firing at pins! It’s a shame this challenge didn’t start yesterday, as I hit a nice cut 8 iron from 150 to a foot. (Yes, I made the putt)

Last time I shaved, I did go to the mustache, the wife told me that she would divorce me if I ever sported a mustache again.

I know I must have a picture of me back then somewhere.

I cant find my PornStach photo and I no longer have orange golf clothes.
Here is the best I Can do right now with my Rickie impression, no photoshop, just good old MS paint.

Busy week at work, so I will try to do something better before the weekend, but no promises.
