Sound like a plan. We like to play earlyish but it doesn't really matter to us. If you can do an 8am time on the 25th and 10 1030 on Friday would that work for you.

Can you put a price on going up against a 263yd par three? Priceless! Would like to tackle this one again myself.

I've played Riverdale Dunes since it was built, yet I've never played a 263 yard par 3. At this point in my life, 263 yards is not remotely a par 3. The longest drive I've measured in the last year was 245. I was thinking about trying to join you there, but if you all play the back tees, then I'll pass. I don't want to play alone all day from the middle tees.

Edit: What course has the long par 3? I just checked the Dunes card and the longest par 3 there is 210.

A 263yd par 3 is absolutely absurd. That not even fun in my book. That's even on the very edge of going for a par 5 in two yet it is a par 3? Craziness
 
It figures that we have all this playing being planned and its the one week that I'm out of town. Hope you all have a blast. Wish I could join in

That at is a brutal hole from the back. I worked at buffal run in my early 20s and that hole ate my lunch every time.

I'm down for Wednesday and Thursday. Wednesday is probably the only chance for 36 if you want legacy/heritage.

Oh...why not make it easy...for educational purposes only of course
J4U said:
Just to give you an idea of some of the greens, not all were this mountainous or large, more like the top portion with waves. Randy was a good sport with all our chuckles. May want to turn down the volume...

Haha might have been my favorite part of the trip and only because I wasn't the one putting!

How ow are the courses out there compared to last year? I don't think they could have been in better shape than what they were last summer.

If I remember right that's the 14th. My wife almost made an ace there when the hole was cut on the lower tier. She hit her tee shot halfway up the slope, then almost holed out on the return roll.

It's a fun course - my brother and I play there every year when he comes down from Idaho. Jim Hajek, the head pro is an old friend - he was the head pro at my home course of Foothills for several years. He even gave lessons to my mother about 20 years ago.
