I’m absolutely shocked. Wasn’t expecting that for sure but it’ll be an incredible way to cap off the year!
Looking to play with THPers while in Raleigh/Pinehurst
You got to play #2 before heading back didn’t you?!

Yessir, I played it the following morning. Shot 93 after making 5 or 6 straight doubles on the opening holes
I could be down to play. I will have to check with the powers that be.
I’m about 45 minutes north of Tot Hill. Would love another shot at it if there‘s room. It’s a beautiful beast and the logo is a bison skull, so be forewarned!
Heck yeah, I’m going to call tomorrow and book some times. I’m thinking I’ll go ahead and book two foursomes and see what we can get.
Just checked, it’ll let me book through the 24th, so I may have to wait a couple days if I’m doing it right.
Count me in then, thanks!
Looking forward to it!
I called Tot Hill Farm and the earliest tee time is 3:40. We’d be pushing daylight hard. I didn’t book so we could possibly find an option around 1pm or a little earlier.
Any course suggestions nearby?

This would be for April 26? If so, sunset will be 8:01. If it's a long round, which from what I hear is probably expected, then yes, certainly pushing to finish.
I suppose that opens things up a bit. Tobacco Road, Pinehurst area, even Bryan Park Champions or Players in Greensboro. There’s a course called the 500 owned by NASCAR drivers in Statesville-kind of a tot hill-esque course through a neighborhood
I can see what is available at Pinehurst, but not until 30 days prior.
Tobacco Road would be fun again. I played it a few weeks before the gathering last year.

TR is my favorite course of all time, but it’s booked for that day. I can look into the courses @JLHinNC listed, Talamore, and of course Pinehurst is always on the bucket list. We have some options I think. It’ll be fun.

I played Tot Hill at the end of September. I think we teed off around 2 and there was absolutely nobody on the course. We caught up to a slow group and they eventually let us pass. We comfortably finished the round.
I assume that the tee sheet was not booked up that day like it is here?
If we don't have anything good booked 30 days out, or if we want to change it to one of the Pinehurst courses, depending on availability, I can see what I can get.
By that time, all the courses should be perfect here, since the dormancy will be done and we will be into the grass growing season.

Tee sheet was not booked up at all at Tot Hill
The 500 club can’t be booked more than 7 days out for non-members but looks really cool.
Out of the Bryan Park courses, which is the nicest? They both look well maintained.
I can’t find how far in advance Talamore requires but I can call.
I actually prefer the Players as a local. It’s a bit more interesting to me and you can walk it.
But I’d take a visitor to play the Champions first. Great holes, views and vistas. It was built as kind of a stadium course but the PGA never landed there for some reason.
Yeah the 500 club was kind of a trip in a good way. Lots of elevation meandering through a neighborhood, lol.
@will and I planned on meeting up in the Pinehurst area, so I think we'd like to stick to that location for the 26th. I'll drive to Roanoke early Sunday morning. @SVonhof, we can wait to see what is available at one of the Pinehurst Courses if you're still ok with that. We had an incredible time last year.
Sounds good. I will put a reminder on my phone to check tee times 30 days out.
And it's an easy 3-hour drive to Roanoke, just be sure you put Virginia, not West Virginia in maps, since there is a Roanoke in both!
I only say that because our friend took her mom to stay at a really nice B&B for her birthday and got to Roanoke for lunch before realizing it was the wrong one and she had to drive to the other one, an additional 3.5 hours...
How many are interested in playing?
Good advice. I’ll input “Ballyhack” into my GPS.
