Featured Golf Course Review:
| Island Greens -- Island Gem |
| Review by: Josh K |
Perhaps saying that this is the best 9 hole public courses on Whidbey Island isn't saying much, but those who pass on this course while on the island are missing out. The $7 is well worth it for the 1300 yard par 27. The course is dotted with interesting teeboxes (one is off a truck, another off a tractor), waterhazards (several ponds) and beautiful landscaping. The owners are extremely friendly (once driving out to bring me an umbrella in the middle of a cloudburst) and the course is great for beginners with very flexible rules (they allow clubsharing even); it's a laid back attitude that is contagious once you get on the island. If you're a golfer that demands a course with a fancy pro shop, electric carts or gimmicky holes, this isn't the place for you. But if you're looking for a place to practice your short/mid-range game and enjoy yourself with friends/family, bring your $7 for the milkcan because they don't take Visa. |

| Homestead Golf & Country Club -- X-OUTS LOVE HOMESTEAD |
| Review by: Art Aldrich |
My golf group, the Boeing Employees Golf Association T. Berry X-OUTS League, has had the pleasure of visiting Homestead Farms in mid-August for the past six years for a 54 hole tournament competed by about 20 golfers over three days. Homestead makes the reservations for three days of play and we always play our final round at the Homestead course. For the third consecutive year we will also play Semi-ah-moo and Loomis Trail, certainly ranked among the outstanding courses on the West Coast, as is Homestead. We are accomodated at the condominiums along the sixth fairway. They are always immaculately maintained and have everything required for a very pleasant stay. The staff at Homestead are genuinely devoted to assuring as pleasant a stay as possible for a bunch of old men (our average age is about 67). The restaurant
fare is excellent and the bar fun. We will continue to come to Homestead each August as long as they can stand us!!!
