Interesting Golf Courses

[Gummi Bear]

I had an opportunity to play Glen Garden yesterday.

It's a rather unassuming course, not too tough (6166 yds from the tips 66.3/109), but the history is what made it so interesting. It was built in 1912, and it's where Ben Hogan, Byron Nelson and Sandra Palmer all learned the game. Nelson and Hogan were rival caddies there in the 20's.

Up in Columbus we've got Scioto Country Club, which is about as exclusive as you can get. They played one of the first US Opens there. Beautiful course pretty much right in the heart of Columbus. We've also got Muirfield, which i played for $12 when i was in high school. Jack used to host a summer event their for kids.

We've got a couple courses that have made it onto Golf Digests Topp 100 new courses at various times...Longaberger and Cook's Creek.

The only one i haven't played is Scioto. i've got a better chance of getting on pennsylvania's Oakmont before getting on Scioto.

That place looks AWESOME!!! Very cool story the way it came about. And once the word really gets out, i think he'll be able to charge whatever he want if he plays off the whole mystique and intrigue card.

Looks very nice.

Wow, there's some amazing courses near y'all. My budget hasn't allowed me to explore some of the upper end stuff here. My two greatest courses that I've played are The Tribute http://thetributegolflinks.nemexinc.com/default.cfm and Tangle Ridge http://www.tangleridge.com/. I played both with Altercall here, and wouldn't hesitate to go and play either for a moment.

This is a beautiful course right on the pacific ocean. If you like Pebble Beach, you will love this course.

We have a very, very cool course here in Maryland where each of the holes are replicas of famous holes from various courses.

From their website:

"Each of Renditions eighteen holes is a replica of a hole from a golf course that has hosted one or more of golf’s four major championships: The Masters, The U.S. Open, The British Open and The PGA Championship, plus a hole from The Players Championship, golf’s "fifth major.""

It's real cool....click

Now that would be a fun course to play...some of the best holes form some of the best courses. Next time i'm in the area i may have to make it a point to play that course.

Hey Bball.

Hope your still planning to come up with your bro in September. You had said he knew of a few good ones here. What courses was he talking about? There are quite a bit of nice ones.

There is a "must play" course up north but it's 4 hours from my place. It's called Arcadia Bluffs. I play it twice a year. It is a mirror of Whistling Straights right on the lake.

LMK.

definitely still coming your way scott. but youre already 3 1/2 hours north of me, another 4 would be no fun considering i'm only taking a 2 day pass from the wife.

The bro and i haven't worked out our details yet. I'll be in touch soon about the details...just know this, you better bring your A game! my bro just got back from 12 days in ireland and says american golf is a sinch.

I've played International World Tour in Myrtle Beach, same type of course with renditions of famous holes.

The course here is within 2 hours from home. Might be worth the trip.

In my area, Scotland Run is a great golf course. My dad works there.

The courses down near Atlantic City are real nice too. Blue Heron, Harbour Pines, McCulloughs Links, Twisted Dunes. Twisted Dunes is a treat. Hard enough from the daily tees but the tips stretch the course to over 7,600 yards.

I got to play this course a couple of weeks ago which is a great course as well. It is where the Oklahoma State team plays which if you follow golf you know they are always good.
