What and where is your Home course. If you have a link please post it.

Westchase Golf Club

www.westchasegc.com

But their are 10 courses within 15 minutes of my home.

[TheNewBrad]

Well, it goes like this.

Logan City Golf Club is my home course ... but ... it is a municipal course. I've been a member there for the last 3 years & have used it to learn the game. It is not the most lush course but as a trade off the membership is not that expensive. It's about 30 minutes drive from me.

Not much to see on the website but for what it's worth, here is the link.
http://www.logancitygolfclub.com.au/

Nudgee Golf Club is about 15 minutes drive from where I live & has two 18 hole courses. If I change clubs in the next 6 months, it'll probably be to this one.
http://www.nudgeegolf.com.au/

Similar to some other posters, I have a number of courses in my area that I also like to visit. I'll post some reviews progressively, just in case my northern hemisphere friends are interested.

[Craig Mac]

I don't have a home course, but there are a few I play regularly, and my favorite would be Cypress Creek.
http://www.cypresscreekgolfersclub.com/maintenance.php
Usually I try to find the cheaper rates at the Semi-Private courses instead of playing munis, mostly because for just a few dollars more you can play a much nicer course, and I like a little variety in my courses.

[MO_Hacker]

I guess you would call this my home course, not a member but play at least once a week here.
http://www.shirkeygolfclub.org/
It's a nice mature,(read narrow with lots of big trees) one of the top 5 semi-private courses in the KC area

[Smallville]

I haven't ever played there. 128 slope is more than I usually play. The 118 looks more my speed! I usually play 5,700 to 6,300 yard courses and try to keep the slope 122 or 23 or lower. If you've ever played Tomahawk in Shawnee Mission, that's the kind of course I like to play the most (slope 118). My wife and I have played Minor Park alot this year since she just started playing. We'll probably play there alot next year also, til she gets a little more experience.

[Gummi Bear]

I don't have a home course either. There's plenty of muni's around, and even some day fee courses. The one that I enjoy playing the most though, is Glen Garden.

http://www.glengarden.net/

Built in 1912, it's where Byron Nelson and Ben Hogan learned the game, were both caddies there in the 20's, and is a heck of a lot of fun to play.

Any course with those two names tied to it has to be a gem!

[bogeyme]

I don't have a home course. I play Blacklick here in Columbus/Reynoldsburg the most though. So I guess you could call it my home course.

[907golfer12]

In Alaska it's Anchorage Golf Course (http://www.anchoragegolfcourse.com)

In Oregon it's Emerald Valley Golf Course (http://www.emeraldvalleygolf.com)

[razaar]

I am a member of Keperra Country Golf Club. In 2006 the club published its 75 year history by Ray Bennett (razaar) which is in the members library of the R&A St. Andrews.

http://www.keperragolf.com.au/

[NorthVanMike]

don't have one either. i play 20-25 different courses, and about 100 rounds a year. playing that many courses makes it very difficult to get a consistent handicap. i think if played only a couple different courses, i'd easily be a single digit handicapper. i also think the handicap system should allow for this btw,somehow.

[letitrock]

I like to move around...play about 3-4 rounds per year. Home courses would be Old Memorial, Black Diamond, Pebble Beach (when on the west coast)...

Actually, I'm a Westchaser too based on location.

Cue music..."I ain't got a home"

[Jimmy The Pins]

Cypress Creek Golf Course. C-Mac has already posted a link. The great thing about this course is that it is wide open, lush, and never crowded.

[knightgolf]

Right now my home course is Sunland Village Golf Club

www.sunlandvillagegolf.com (http://www.sunlandvillagegolf.com)

[klaymon]

Mill Creek Golf Club is my home - www.millcreekgolfclub.com
I also play a muni near my house: Raymond Memorial

[mytime]

1/2 mi from my house. Bent creek golf course.http://www.bentcreek.net/golf/proto/bentcreekgc/ It's a public course and very close to my home.

[Lange]

Here was my course last year:
http://www.themeadowsgc.com/
It's pretty open with a fair amount of sand traps.
Rating: 71.6
Slope: 123

Now for next season I will be a member at:

[Golfgal]

I don't have a home course, but play The University Course (http://www.universitygolf.com/) at UBC and Northview (http://www.northviewgolf.com/) (home of the Air Canada PGA tournament) regularly - both great for different reasons. They are terrific public courses and if you ever get to Vancouver, you should try and play them.

[ClairefromClare]

Nice to see you, GolfGal--we've missed you! http://www.clipartof.com/images/thumbnail/148.gif (http://www.clipartof.com/details/emoticon/148.html)

Minor Park is where we played most of our rounds this year: http://www.minorparkgolfcourse.com/view.asp?id=149&page=2203 (http://www.minorparkgolfcourse.com/view.asp?id=149&page=2203).

Smiley's is where we played when we wanted an executive course or driving range: http://www.smileysgolf.com/range.htm (http://www.smileysgolf.com/range.htm).

Next year I hope to play more at Tomahawk Hills: http://www.jcprd.com/parks_facilities/tomahawk_golf.cfm (http://www.jcprd.com/parks_facilities/tomahawk_golf.cfm) and Country Creek: http://countrycreekgolf.com/Courses.htm (http://countrycreekgolf.com/Courses.htm)

Hey Smallville. I'm visiting a friend in May who lives in Shawnee Mission. Can you recommend a course in that area? I'm not familar with that area at all.

[Smallville]

If you want a course that's pretty tough, try Sunflower Hills in Bonner Springs (tell them it's right next to the Amphitheater); regular men's tees are 6,600 yards with a 130 slope (tips are over 7,000 and men's senior tees are still about 6,050 with 123 slope). Of course, from above, Tomahawk is a decent track that's more my length and difficulty level (it's right next to Shawnee Mission Park). St. Andrews and Overland Park are a little farther south but good courses as well. There's some supposedly really nice (pricey)courses (Deer Creek, Falcon Ridge and a few others that I can't think of their names right now!) that I have never played in that area too.

[DDBowdoin]

Westchase Golf Club

www.westchasegc.com

But their are 10 courses within 15 minutes of my home.

I am so jealous... 135 / month for unlimited golf! I drop that in two rounds alone here

[JB]

Yup, but you do have to pay the cart fee still which is $16-$21 depending on season. No walking allowed except after 5pm.

[DDBowdoin]

ouch, yeah... they will get you there! That's a considerable increase there in the long run

[JB]

But it is still cheaper than paying $50-$75 a round like many are down here. And if you play once a week, it pays for itself. They also have the GPS on the carts.

[OttawaGolf]

Manderley on the Green (http://www.manderleygolf.com/_home/home.php) about 3 minutes down the road.

[TheHammer]

Im a nomad and play all over the state, (one of the perks of the job) But I did get this as a gift from my girlfriend.

[URL="http://http://www.okigolf.com/subcontent.aspx?SecID=898"]

[TheGasman]

I am so jealous... 135 / month for unlimited golf! I drop that in two rounds alone here

Same here, even with cart fees thats a great deal. The cheapest ive found around me is twice that price a month. I guess with 15 other courses around the ones by JB need to stay competitive.

[ClairefromClare]

Yup, but you do have to pay the cart fee still which is $16-$21 depending on season. No walking allowed except after 5pm.

Why no walking before 5:00? Too many slow retirees?

Our club is caddies only before 3:00 (unless you're handicapped). After that, you can ride or carry as well.

[DDBowdoin]

caddies only... jesus, that must be something. I'd carry my bag either way, I feel guilty making someone carry my bag

[Tobby4]

No real home course. But being a caddie at East Lake kinda makes that my home course, I play there more than anywhere.

Caddie tourny on Monday.

[JB]

Strictly based on pace of play. Plus they have the GPS in carts. Down here very few people want to walk. Not really retirees in my neck of the woods that play this course, but way too many slow players.

[DDBowdoin]

I love caddie mondays! I played every Monday and Thursdays (primrose course only) when I was working at The Country Club

the 17th, where Leonard dropped that putt is amazing hole. The green looks small on TV but that putt was massive considering the length and slope inbetween tiers

[ClairefromClare]

caddies only... jesus, that must be something. I'd carry my bag either way, I feel guilty making someone carry my bag

I just hate paying fee + tip, when I'm happy to carry my own bag. But a good caddy, who really knows the course, is worth it. Plus, as I've said before, there's nothing quite like watching a big burly caddy hoist my bright pink bag.

[DDBowdoin]

yeah, I totally just snipped advice of the caddie my playing partners ordered at Ballybunion. It was like 90 euro's..... what!

[Tobby4]

Plus, as I've said before, there's nothing quite like watching a big burly caddy hoist my bright pink bag.


Ha, I had a bright Pink one and a Teal bag on Tuesday. It made a nice sight walking down number 1.

[DDBowdoin]

Ha, I had a bright Pink one and a Teal bag on Tuesday. It made a nice sight walking down number 1.

about once a week I caddied for a CART! It was unreal, I would just sit on the back of the cart, hand clubs, clean them, and forecaddy when needed.

[Tobby4]

If we have somebody in a cart, we walk and carry their bags, they ride in an empty cart.
It sucks

[DDBowdoin]

what!!!!!!!!!! that is terrible Toby

I was 160 dollars for a round without carrying a single bag... pretty nice deal I had going

[307golf]

Lander Wyoming:

http://www.landergolfclub.com/

It's hard to grow grass in the high desert of Wyoming...:) And don't get me started about this 'winter' phenomenon.:(

[Golfingbanker]

Covington Country Club...a local 18 hole. OK tract, but not really maintenanced well.

[Geezer]

THIS (http://www.golfarmagh.co.uk/) is my home course. County Armagh Golf Club. I've been a member there for a little under a year (membership is due renewal shortly :beat-up:). I think its a lovely little course, it isn't overly long(only 6200 at the tips, but a par 70). I think it makes up for the lack of being short with the tricky-ness of certain holes. #16 in particular I find very difficult, difficult landing area and a long carry over water (though there is some ground between the water and the green, 10-15 yards or so).
Favourite hole would have to be #8, a par 5, I can't quite figure out why, it just seems to suit my eye (plus, I can get within 50 yards of the green in 2 :act-up:)

[Dougs14stix]

Wolf Creek Golf Course in Olathe, Kansas.

The 18-hole "Wolf Creek" course at the Wolf Creek Golf Links Inc. facility in Olathe, Kansas features 7,010 yards of golf from the longest tees for a par of 72 . The course rating is 74.2 and it has a slope rating of 147 on � grass. Designed by Dr. Marvin H. Ferguson, ASGCA(R)CE Golf Design, the Wolf Creek golf course opened in 2007. John Lienemann manages the course as the General Manager.

[jrrjbl]

After 16 moves, I play here http://silvercreekcountryclub.com/golfcourse.html.
Has all original Mr. Ross holes just not in a continuous 18. You need to like false fronted greens. Just south of Bethlehem PA. Only problem is winter started in mid Nov and usually ends April 1.

[hammer84]

My home course is Shiloh Springs in Platte City. Not a bad course. It was really falling apart until the county bought it and started putting some money into it.

5 minutes form the house and they have a nice practice set up.

Shiloh springs golf course (http://www.shilohspringsgolf.com/golf/proto/shilohspringsgolf/)

I have played in leagues at Falcon Ridge and Sunflower Hills over the last few years also.

[Farmergolf]

Bronzewood Golf Course. Super nice layout, very mature course maybe not the best paths or upkeep, but it is cheap($ 30 weekend) and close, about 5 miles.

[Bucky36]

I guess my home course would have to be Hackbarth Hills in Janesvile, WI. Its nothing fancy, just a nice little par 3 course. I play there because it only costs $10 to play 9 holes.
All of the fullsize courses around here get about $15 for 9 holes, so I mostly play par 3 courses because they are inexpensive.
Theres 3 of them in my area. Its fun to play a fullsize course every now and then, but I dont hit my driver all that well anyways; so until I get that club figured out I stick to the par 3s.
At least with the par 3s I can usually make par and every once in a while make birdie. Im pretty good with my short irons, wedges and putter; so on a good day I can really score well on the par 3s.

[SunsetBeachGolf]

http://www.carolinanationalgolf.com/ I play most of my golf here or http://www.seatrail.com/golf/index.cfm.

Carolina National is one of my all time favorite tracks and is very reasonable. I play a bunch at Sea Trail cause I have a buddy out there. The Maples and Jones courses are gorgeous traditional designs.

[TexAg08]

I guess Beacon Lakes would be my home course I try play once a week but sometimes it is impossible, I also love Bay Forest the greens are typically in a little better shape and usually isn't crowded.

Just became a member of the Mission Viejo COuntry Club, haven't played yet though. Usually I just go up to a local muni. in Palo Verdes called Los Verdes, it's on the cliffs in SoCal, doesn't look like a muni.

[TheGasman]

in Palo Verdes called Los Verdes, it's on the cliffs in SoCal, doesn't look like a muni.
Does that place still take 6 hours to get in a round? I havent been there in years.

[LuisG]

In Western Mass there isn't many big courses, alot of them barely push the 6000 mark. I enjoy a small course called "Ledges" it's a beautiful place, the scenery is awesome (especially during change of season), there is a lot of trees so course management is crucial, and the best part is it doesn't put a big dent in your pocket to go out and play a round of golf.


http://www.ledgesgc.com/

[hollywoodjack]

Westchase all the, where i was born and being raised, great course with greens just redone, great course to visit if your ever in the tampa area

[MontyV]

There are literally a dozen course all within 15 minutes of me if not more. The course I play most often because of the discount I get through our partnership at work is. Eagle Glen Golf Course.

http://www.eagleglengc.com/index.php

[dynarider]

My home course is/was a 9 hole goat track, Pauquette Pines. But the land is for sale & they probably won't reopen this year. That's on because there are dozens & dozens of other/better courses which I also play & all are within 45 minutes of my home.

[LGL-NI]

This is my club. http://www.frilfordheath.co.uk/

I've been a member there for 2 years since I moved to this county.

Open invitation for anyone ever in the area! :present:

Sounds good, there are a lot of nice public courses around here. I'm sure Smalls would be down for it.

[jefffann]

Yep
We have quite a few here in the K.C. area and if this summer starts off like last summer they should all be in great shape.The ones I named are the ones I play.I'm definitely gonna have to check out Swope Memorial,Tiffany Greens and Creekmoore.

[Smallville]

Been a long time since I played Dub's Dread. Jug McSpadden ws the pro out there for a long time. I'm related to him by marriage (my dad's sister's husband's brother or cousin or something). I played Hodge once and Painted Hills a handful. Tiffany Greens is where they had a Senior event here years ago and it is tough. Tomahawk is one of my favorites. Not too tough and not too easy. Both courses at Smithville (The Outlaw and The Posse) are a tough test. Sunflower I have mentioned before, is the course I learned the game on and broke 100 for the first time last summer.

[jefffann]

Sunflower I have mentioned before, is the course I learned the game on and broke 100 for the first time last summer.

Man I'm jealous.Sunflower eats my lunch. I'm happy when I break 60 on 9.I don't know what it is but I can never seem to get it together there.That doesn't keep me from trying though.The final four usually kick my butt.

[Smallville]

Jeff: I actually shot a 99 and a 98 the two times I played it last year. Before that, I would guess that my best ever was around 108. Never even came close before. I could sometimes shoot in the upper 40s on the front but would almost always shoot in the high 50s-low 60s on the back. Check out the slope ratings for the course. Men's regular is rated 130 and is 6,600 yards or so. The senior tees are 123 rated and just over 6,000 yards. It is definitely not a short course. (Tips are over 7,000).

[madhacker]

Here is my home course Round Valley Golf Course:

There are alot of courses in the SLC valley that I frequent.

I play most of my rounds at Desert Rose GC, but I am a shame to admit it.
http://desertrose.americangolf.com/ The greens keeper, and/or the course superentendent, have not done a good job the past few months. The front desk claims it is because of the cold weather, but this has been one of the mildest winters we have had in the Las Vegas area in quite a few years. Hopefully in the near future they will replace an employee or two, and the new folks will bring it back up to par. Their advertisment about this course being a "jewel in the desert" is pretty far from the truth right now. The only positive things they have going for them right is they tend to keep their green fees down, and they offer a practice facility that let's you practice off real grass. I would not recommend practicing on their putting greens, since would need a ball with 4 wheel drive, but you can chip, pitch, and practice sand shots all day long if you wish. :comp:

[ClairefromClare]

Cool--you going to be helping out at Sybase?

[MO_Hacker]

Welcome to the forum...... Olde Corkscrew is an incredible course, absolutely beautiful

[dssxxxx]

Cool--you going to be helping out at Sybase?

I worked the Chrysler/Plymouth Classic (women's), the Coca Cola Classic (women's) and was Chairman of Carts/Caddies for the 10 years we hosted the Senior Cadillac/NFL Classic. I have passed on working the Sybase.

10 years of Monday - Sunday, 5:30 AM to 8:30 PM finally took it's toll...:at-wits-end:

In fact, I do not even go over to the club to watch the tournament and have voted against it. Tired of loosing our club for the full 10 days (set up, tournament, take down) and then the 4-6 week period of conditioning/sodding the East Course from being used for parking and using 1 & 9 for practice ranges. OK.....rant over.

[ClairefromClare]

Ouch! Sorry. When I went to the web site, I was surprised the club only has 27 holes--I'd been under the impression it was 36.

You must get privileges someplace else for the duration?

I couldn't tell from the course tour--I think the scariest hole is a par four, dogleg left, with a creek in front of and wrapping around the undulating green. They always put the pin in the far back right corner, and it unnerves me just to look at it.

I walked with Yani Tseng the first round last year, and her tee shot stopped just in front of the creek. It was amazing.

[dssxxxx]

We basically have reciprocals with all the clubs in the metro area....all the time, so it's not a problem getting a course to play as the inconvenience of travelling to the other club.

My group usually plays Ridgewood & Hackensack. Couple times we went to Baltusrol, must their noses were held a little too high for my preference.... :-)

You're talking about 3 South or the 12th hole. That's our signature hole. Great layout.

[TCCcaddie]

Kelley Greens in Nahant Ma...nothing special a Par 30 but its open in the winter and is a good practice course 2 mins from my house. Lotta action there too. Last year's calcutta was approaching 75K.

[Eck979]

My homecourse is Deer Valley GC in Hershey, PA.

[HardcoreLooper]

I keep my handicap at Providence Golf Course in suburban Richmond, VA. But now that Henrico County has started taking better care of Belmont Golf Course, I play there quite a bit, especially after work (it's five minutes from my office).

When I'm feeling flush, I play at Independence Golf Club. Wonderful golf course.

[LefTe]

Not my home course per say but this is where I play the vast majority of my golf. Nonethelss great track, great treatment and very challenging.

[rsd1244]

Thanks, my wife and I made it down there this morning. It's great! Got to try out my new Clickgear 2.0 today too. I must say that is one awesome cart. I am really enjoying the site as well, thanks for having me.

[Spinscan]

Hawk's Creek in Fort Worth would be my home course. We play there probably 95% of the time. The course is beautiful, very challenging and the staff is top notch.

If any of you are ever in the Fort Worth area you should check it out. You will not find a better public golf course in the DFW area for the price imo.

http://www.hawkscreek.com/golf/proto/hawkscreek/course/course.htm

[drivingrangejunkie]

Well my home course would most likely be Flamingo Lakes. They don't have a website. Its a pretty short course, even from the tips, but its a tough one too. The greens are small and pretty slow, and there are some tough putts on them sometimes too. Personally I don't think its possible to shoot below par there.

Poppy Ridge Golf Course is my 'home' course. It's 45 minutes away, but the closer courses are either dogtracks or cost $100+. Poppy Ridge is home to the NCGA (Northern California Golf Association) and is always in great shape. Pretty challenging as well especially in the summer when the winds pick up.

Still looking for a home course, right now I am a gypsy & just playing every course in the area. There is a nice private course not far from work that's currently waiving the $3000 initiation fee. Not sure though what the monthly fee is though.

I dont know what the monthly fees are, but with no initiations or food and drink minimums, it seems like a good deal.

[WWPSD]

Ah, so that's where Huntersville is. I have lots of family in/around Concord.

Huntersville is about parallel with Concord and actually border each other slightly. Concord is east and Huntersville is west. Both great places about 15 minutes from downtown Charlotte. Concord has a gigantic outlet mall and the speedway for those NASCAR types, while Huntersville has Lake Norman, both great places to have a family and play golf.

[WWPSD]

I dont know what the monthly fees are, but with no initiations or food and drink minimums, it seems like a good deal.

The club has had great success with NEVER having initiation or minimums, as well as no assessments ever. Add a 2700sf gym, 3 pools, sand volleyball, and Dye designed course and it is tough to beat. The monthly dues are slight higher then some becuase of the lack of initiation, but we pay $345/month for unlimited golf for me and unlimited everything for the lady-friend/wife. They offer about 6 or 7 different classifications so that you can find something that fits your need, really nice.

The best part for me is that the average age is 42, so there is great networking and leads through there. Very friendly group all willing to help out fellow members when possible.

I finally got around to paying my membership fees at my home course, they were having a special discount for first time members, $500/individual.

It will be so nice to just unload my clubs and walk to the first tee box without having to pay the rest of the year.:D

I try and play a couple times a week (mostly the weekends). You and I were talking about Verdict Ridge.

[roguepixel]

it may be a little less than that. for the price you pay, the course is top-notch. it is the hub of Gastonia golf. it was recently purchased from the City on a 13-year lease by a private owner. small upgrades are going on.

My "Home Course" changes regularly, but for the last couple of seasons I've been spending a lot of time at the West Sayville Golf Course.

It's one of four county courses and I like it because it's on the water (Great South Bay) and it plays a lot like a links course especially since it's almost always windy. It plays 6715 yards (from the tips) to a par 72 and has a Rating/Slope of 72.1/127.

It's a nice setup for a muni.


-JP

[tksullivan]

Since it is only a few miles from my house I play Shiloh Springs (http://www.shilohspringsgolf.com). It is a county operated course and generally in good shape. It is not the longest course by any means but I can never get any traction there. I keep playing thinking one of these days I am going to shoot well and everytime it beats me up.....As for others, I like Dub's Dread (http://www.dubsdreadgolfclub.com/)and the 2 courses in Smithville (http://www.paradisepointegolf.com/) (Outlaw and Posse) are fun places to play.

[Smallville]

Hey Smallville. I'm visiting a friend in May who lives in Shawnee Mission. Can you recommend a course in that area? I'm not familar with that area at all.


If you want a course that's pretty tough, try Sunflower Hills in Bonner Springs (tell them it's right next to the Amphitheater); regular men's tees are 6,600 yards with a 130 slope (tips are over 7,000 and men's senior tees are still about 6,050 with 123 slope). Of course, from above, Tomahawk is a decent track that's more my length and difficulty level (it's right next to Shawnee Mission Park). St. Andrews and Overland Park are a little farther south but good courses as well. There's some supposedly really nice (pricey)courses (Deer Creek, Falcon Ridge and a few others that I can't think of their names right now!) that I have never played in that area too.

Where did you end up playing mytime?

[Smallville]

Played most of my golf at Falcon Lakes this year (http://www.falconlakesgolf.com/ (http://www.falconlakesgolf.com/)), so I'd say that's my home course. Also played a few times at Sunflower Hills and Shirkey.

This is not my home course but one that I played on a regular schedule until this year the course was closed in order to redesign the course. The link shows some of the views you can get from the course. The one thing that I really liked about the course is all the wild life you can see. During the spring you can get a rare chance to see America's bird the Bald Eagle sometimes as close as 50 yards away sitting in a tree. Fall golf here is just spectator.

The Legend at Bergamont (http://www.thelegendatbergamont.com/)
A LONG links style "private" course. It is public until they hit a certain membership point which they haven't done yet. If you walk its cheaper than the Muni's and in 1000x better condition.

Wow really nice course.... I'm jelious

I have been very fortunate. It is getting a lot of traffic this year and the greens are taking much more of a beating than years past but overall its still a great strip to play. $16 to walk 18 after 4 pm. Can't beat that!

Beautiful looking course, $16!!! How much is it on a Saturday before 4pm?

[FunkiMe]

My home course is Gator lakes at Hulbert Field FL. It's not the best in the area, but the price is right since it is on an Air force installation. One of my favorite couses in the Fort Walton Beach area is Regatta bay in sandestin.

Peak rate (weekends) is $44, $36 before 4, $20 after 4.

Cart fees, if you choose to use one, are $20/18 which I think is a little steep.

[roberts9]

Back home its http://www.rosscreeklandinggolfclub.com/ . Here in montana where im stationed its Eagle Falls Golf Course, which really makes me miss home.

[ken419]

The Links at Walnut Run in Cortland,OH. This course is probably one of the best kept secrets in Northeast Ohio. $10 for 9 holes + cart, $7 extra to play through again, and it is NEVER BUSY!! I have never seen more than 6 cars at one time in the parking lot. Keys are in the carts, stick your money in the mail slot, and grab a scorecard. They never have anybody working there, you're on the "honor system" there, so bring your own drinks, and if you need to use the bathroom before you play, there's a Speedway about a mile down the road.

Santa Maria is the nicest place we have here in Baton Rouge. It's a Robert Trent Jones Sr. designed course and is open to the public. Used to be a private club but when they went under the Baton Rouge parks and recreation (BREC) bought them out and transitioned it to a publuc course. Prices went up at the beginning of last year but before that it was only $22.00 for 18 holes. Definitely one of the prettiest courses in Baton Rouge!

Crow Valley Country Club in Davenport, IA.

Beautiful course that used to host the Hardee's Classic before it became the John Deere Classic.

[clam fist]

River Islands and Gatlinburg muni (golf digest 50 best).

[Brendinking]

This summer I've been playing a lot of the Columbus munies. Airport is right around the corner, and Champions is an amazing Robert Trent Jones layout from the 30's. Airport is $16 to walk after 4pm any day of the week, Champions is $24.

[Frknglfnut]

Charlotte Country Club, private, built 1927 by Tom Bendelow, (East Lake, Medinah among his gems)

[the_paulo]

Balmore Golf Club, West Dumbartonshire, on the outskirts of Glasgow.

Tom Morris designed parkland course, par 66, short and testing. No par 5s, and no easy birdies on this one folks!

[abypfcs]

Play twice a week at The Dunes in Brooksville, FL. Arthur Hills design and very challenging. Maybe too tough for me at my stage in life.

[WicketMike]

Empire Lakes , Rancho Cucamonga

Play there 1-2 times a week during march-Oct

[clarkc]

Bradford Creek GC in Greenville, NC...Its a muni course and pretty inexpensive but allows me to work on my game

[bmckenna]

Technically, Hendricks in Belleville NJ is the closest course to my house, but I've been playing Pinch Brook in Florham Park a good deal recently. It's about 10 minutes from work, perfect for twilight golf.

[Shanks Jr]

My home course would have to be Links at Riverlakes its about 5 minute drive from my house and outside of the country clubs here its the best public course and the rates are reasonable too.

[Kismias306]

I don't really have a home course, but I do play these 4 courses very regularily.

Royal Regina GC http://www.royalregina.com/
Deer Valley GC http://www.deervalleygolf.ca/
Murray GC http://www.westerngolfmanagement.com/dir_murray.html
Tor Hill GC http://www.westerngolfmanagement.com/dir_torhill.html

I will be joing the Royal Regina GC as soon as my son is old enough for the Junior Program. But until then I prefer to play different courses regularly

Bella Collina GC http://www.bellacollinagolf.com

Located in San Clemente, CA whose town slogan is "World's best weather" this is an amazing place to call home. I travel the world in my profession and with the possible exception of Hawaii I can't think of a place with consistently better golf weather. We do have to endure our 10 - 15 days of rain each year, and long pants are required for 2-3 weeks out of the year (but not every day) when playing golf, I can say that this place does truly have the worlds best weather.

I love to offer myself as a host should you find yourself in the area and are looking for a great test of golf!

I can pretty much guarantee none of you will have played, or even heard of my home course !

[SNAP HOOK]

I've been living here in Las Vegas for 4 years and I've never played the same course more than 5 times. If I could have one course (that I've played before) it would be the place of my first ever high school job back in celifornia.
Green Hills Country Club: http://www.greenhillscc.com/Club/Scripts/Home/home.asp
IF I had only one thing to say why it would be my home course: Its an allister Mckenzie design. Every green there has a vicious false front. My worst golf memory is there where I hit in order: Driver, 7 iron, putter, wedge, wedge,putter,wedge, putter, putter. (My temper was nuclear then but now I look back on it and laugh.)
Most people don't know about this one, he's more well known around northern california for pasatiempo and cypress. But Green Hills is a small gem. Its a shame that i've heard that the group that manages the CC is a bunch of idiots. I still have friends who live in the area and two are members. (well both are currently trying to sell their memberships) They both tell me that there is a good chance the CC is gonna go bankrupt. And that scares me that a course with such a prestigeous beginning might be bulldozed over in the future for more over priced houses.

[uscgmk]

My home course is awesome Gold Mountain Golf Course, they off two great courses. Check it out if you ever visit Washington state.

Ken-Wo GC, Nova Scotia, Canada.

http://www.ken-wo.com/

I still consider this my 'home' course although I haven't played it in a couple of years. My father and I used to drive an hour out of our way to play this one. The locals nicknamed the final 5 holes Death Valley due to the shallow geography, high temperature due to low wind below the hills, and because final three holes were the by far the most difficult on the course and have a tendency of destroy otherwise good scores. Years ago when I was still flirting with breaking 100 for the first time, I managed to survive 16 and 17 unscathed and was lying 90 on #18. I then choked in epic fashion and finished with exactly 100.

Classic course in Minnesota--it's too short for the big hitters of today's game, but still a great challenge for the players who still consider most par 4s over 400 yards to be challenging. Poa-Bent greens make for complicated reads throughout the year, but it's been in better shape lately than it's been in a long time. And it's affordable, which is nice. I hope someday they renovate it with some back tees and a modern clubhouse, but it's got charm.

[IcemanYVR]

My home course Northview G&CC (http://www.northviewgolf.com). It's a 36 hole complex with the Ridge course playing host to the PGA Tour's Air Canada Championship back in the late '90s and early 2000's.

It's a solid Arnold Palmer design, always in great shape and the practice facilities are tour caliber.

[SteveHung777]

My home course is Oak Park Golf Club in Surrey, England. Here is the link to it:

New Mexico Tech Golf Course here in little Socorro, NM. Fairly tough course with small greens.

Haven't played the golf course, but I do know of Haverhill. It doesn't get a good rep.

[BigDaddy92]

I would have to say the Charleston Municipal Golf is my "home" course, fun, but the ole lady can really put it to you some days. Greens are not receptive 90% of the time, but with the amount of rounds played there every day its understandable for the greenskeeper to do so. My group like to play all over town and Charleston National is our 1st choice, and Pine Forest, and some weeks I can get everyone down to muni.
