Philmont Country Club - North Course "Great old classic" Classic course. Elevation changes make the course play longer than the yardage. Fast smooth greens can be treacherous. A nice variety of shots is required. ---L. Ettenger, Phila. PA.
ASU Karsten Golf Course "Phil Mickelson`s College Course..." If Phil Mickelson honed his game here then you can imagine why hes so good. This course is very difficult if you dont hit the fairways, and if your drive is a little off your in trouble. This is a very tight driving type course, you must be in the fairway at all times, some holes are not as bad as others but some are hazardous to your golf game. I did not play well here, I am not a great player so after playing here I decided unless I get much better at this game I should avoid this course. The greens are extremly fast, I mean like putting on marble. The first hole is a good opening hole, if you hit the fairway your fine buuuuut, go left or right your in trouble. I hit my drive to the right as I am a lefty, i pull hooked my tee shot on to a mound, when I addresed the ball to hit it my right leg was up so high that I popped the ball straight up in to air and it went maybe 75 yds. already I was looking at bogie at best.... not a good beginning to my golf day. A great course non the less, your putting will be severly tested here...Have fun..... ---Dean Buffoni, Danbury,CT
Wolf Creek Golf Course "Fantasy Come True" We have played there ten times, when it first opened. It is like no other course in this country. EVERY hole is unique. Several sets of tees enabled all skill levels to enjoy this track. Bring your camera ---CCB, Lakle Tahoe USA
Durand Eastman Golf Course "Good golf for a low price" This course is an excellent example of Robert Trent Jones' genius.
The course is not long, by modern standards, but many holes have elevation changes which make even the shortest of holes interesting and challenging.
It winds through a beautiful, heavily wooded section if Durand - Eastman Park and in and out of two hugh revines which makes even your poorest round a joy.
Some of the greens feature Jones' unique mounding that makes you think an elephant or two was buried there. The green speeds are not consistent for hole to hole, which makes for some interesting decisions on the pace of your putt, but considering the amount of play the course receives they are usually in pretty good shape for a public course.
There are few long holes on the course, but the ones that are long are really difficult to to par.
The only complaints I have about the course are; the speed of play (there are many not very accomplished golfers that tend to slow things down) and when the weather is wet the holes in the lower parts of the course stay pretty wet because there seems to be a problem with drainage.
All things considered, this course is one of the best values for my golfing dollar that I have ever encountered. ---Doug France, Rochester, NY
