Caves Valley Caddie Opinion, Mar 19, 2004

reviewer: Tim Viets from Elkridge, MD

I have been a part-time caddie at Caves for 9 years now. I've played it probably about 40 - 50 times (we're allowed to play late afternoon on the weekends) and I absolutely love it. It's changed a lot over those years (the USGA had a lot to do with that) and most recently held the Senior U.S. Open in 2002. It's tough to get on (you have to know someone) but if you ever do I guarantee you'll have a great experience. It's got two different nines, one wooded, the other open and no two holes even look remotely similar. The greens and fairways are always in great shape and everything about the course is so meticulate. And how cool is it to have a caddie? (Everyone has to). I love it when I have a guest who has never had a caddie before. It's such a great experience for them. I know I'm biased when it comes to this course but it really is a special place.

Quarry, The
"Golf Heaven"
This wonderful Tom Fazio design offers a truly great experience. It can only be played with a member. Don't worry about a starting time or slow play, the members are rare. I've been told that if you can find a weed in any fairway, they will give you a membership! ($175,000/player plus dues) Every hole has it's own personality and most (10) involve water. A desert design that requires accuracy off the tee, and a back nine into an old quarry up in the mountains, the course is very challenging, but has incredible views of Indio (All putts break that way.) Chances are that you won't get the opportunity to play this track, but if you do, don't miss it!

Pine Valley Golf Club - Pine Valley Course
"Overrated....what's the big deal?"
I played Pine Hill which is one mile away and I actually thought Pine Hill was better. It's all about money and power at Pine Valley which allows them to get the #1 rating every year

Baywood Golf Club
"Baywood Golf Experiences"
Played course many times. Most enjoyable. Some forgiving holes and some challenging. All in all, a very playable course. Not too punitive. Want a challenge?, play the back tees. Most favorite hole is #12. Must get off good tee shot to be able to hold this canted green. Most of time you need to chip it to get it up and down for par. Most picturesque; #8. I'll be back...

Gibson Woods Golf Course
"Great public course"
Gibson Woods is a challenging public golf course in Monmouth, IL. It is a mature course that challenges the golfer to play the fairway on most holes. The course features lots of trees, some water, and some elevated greens. The course favors the accurate golfer more than the long ball hitter. Although an accurate long ball hitter will consistently score well here. The course is very well maintained, has a driving range, and is generally only crowded on weekends.
