Something really new, Jun 19, 2006

reviewer: Glen Curtis from Inverness, IL

You need to review this course again! It is called by another name, something like "Mak-Ray" and they have spent millions on it with a beautiful new club house.

Has been renamed, Jul 18, 2004

reviewer: John C. from Lake Zurich, IL

Thunderbird has been totally redeveloped and renamed. The new name is Markay Memorial and it is set to open sometime in 2004. It may already be open. This is something you should check into. The address is the same. A new clubhouse appears to still be under construction there.

Delaware Park Course
"Delaware 2003 review"
Delaware Park is a great place to learn to play golf because it offers open fairways, well maintained greens, no sand or water. There is hardly ever a bag line. There are 18 holes on relatively flat land. The trees present the only problems as many are in the fairways. The course conditions have shown vast improvement recently , especially in 2003 when new tee boxes were planted and benches were placed at each hole. It compares favorably, I think to the 2 other city courses, Cazenovia and South Park. Those courses offer just 9 holes each. The park setting is beautiful. If you want to practice without being intimidated, this is the place.

Miacomet Golf Club
"The New Miacomet"
Welcome to the new Miacomet!! Complete with 9 new golf holes capturing the essence of links golf. This Massachusetts island has a new name in public golf. This new layout if the wind is blowing is going to be a real challenge. The elevated tees give you a great look at fairway and positioning. The trick is to hit it there with the accuracy needed to conquer a 20 to 30 mile an hour wind. The golf staff were very professional in the running of the shop. Superb lessons provided by Mike's staff. State of the art lessons with Rob. Fantastic!! Bill Affinito's group are learning the paths and new roads that service the new course. Great job. And the new general manager, Alan Costa, fantastic, hard working, creative. The food service is top notch. come try the new course on Nantucket.

This is by far the best public course in Idaho. It has been redesigned and has a 17,600 sq. ft. clubhouse. The only reason it only get's 4 stars is cuz they have overpriced the locals.
