Pondy, Sep 13, 2004

reviewer: Joe Golfer from Des Moines, IA

I golf Pondy alot. Not because it's such a great course, but because it's such a great price. No tee times are required and you get on almost immediately. Plus it's only like $12 to walk 9 holes after work. Fairways aren't the best, lots of weeds and I don't think the guy waters at all. But nonetheless, cheaper than anywhere else in Des Moines!

"A DANDY CLOSE TO HOME"
A GOOD TEST OF GOLF. NOT MANY STRAIGHT HOLES. REQUIRES MOVING BALL RIGHT TO LEFT AND LEFT TO RIGHT. AND WATCH OUT FOR THOSE +200 YARD PAR THREE'S

"Nice Course tough lies"
When you play this course be prepared to have a hilly lie on most fairway shots, especially on the back nine. The undulation is remarkable and this course gives an average player a run for his/her money. Mid summer the greens can be unforgiving, but still playable with corect club selection. Altogether a course well manicured and the added bonus of having a complete opposite feeling when playing the front nine and the second nine.

"Prospect Member"
I have attended this course a numerous of times and really enjoy the atmosphere of the area. The course is always well kept, and I believe it to be one of the best in the area. The twenty seven holes only makes it more enjoyable, by offering a new experience each time out. I was very pleased with the employeers as well. They were very attentive, and right on top of anything may group needed trhoughout the day. I will look into joining as soon as possible.

I find this course to be great for convenient cross country skiing during the winter. We are particularly blessed with great snow this year to make this possible.
