What golf trips do you have coming up?

[slprince67]

leaving for Scotland on Saturday.... Old course, Jubilee, Muirfield, North Berwick twice, Glen Eagles, Kings Barns and Archerfield.....beyond excited!

[Garush34]

Playing Gleneagles PGA in September. Will be the first time playing a really big name course. Looking forward to the experience of going.

[Eric267]

Milwaukee

Reno/Tahoe

Cancun

Scotland hopefully June 2019

 

Feel free to hit me up if you need any info on the Tahoe area. I'm in Kings Beach on the north lake and have played most of the courses in the area

 

Thanks. I’m considering playing grizzly ranch and/or coyote moon. Your thoughts?

 

Just finished yas links in Abu Dhabi 2 weeks ago.

 

Today finished Scotland trip which was:

Old course x2

New course

Kingsbarns

North Berwick

 

Nice

 

Definitely both really good courses. Coyote moon tends to get pretty backed up in the peak summer (july4-labor day) so try to get out as early as you can. Another option if your driving up to plumas county is to play grizzly and Whitehawk ranch in the same day. I prefer Whitehawk but not really for any particular reason since they are both fun tracks. If your looking for a twilight round one of the days Northstar is good bang for your buck, or old brockway 9 is a fun old school course.

Enjoy, North Berwick is my favorite course. A challenge but real fun to play.

Going to San Diego in September with the family. Not a golf trip but the clubs are coming along. Staying in Oceanside and not that big on Torrey so will probably play Crossings at Carlsbad or La Costa if an old contact there comes through. Also going to get in a round at Coronado while my wife and son do some touristy things on the “island”.

 

Doesn’t sound like much but that would double my rounds played in 2018.

The snow in the UK has really messed with the itenerary on my trip.

It was fun at Musselburgh, trying clubs that were completely different from what we play now. It was also nice to play without really caring a lot, a nice break from our semi-serious competition. We're good friends, always trying to bash each other's brains in.

At Gullane they were erecting grandstands and tents for the competition, but course #1 was in play. Other than the set-up, things were pretty quiet in town. We had course #3 completely to ourselves in our afternoon round, and didn't really have a lot of company for our morning round on #2.

My official line up next week

 

wednesday - moraine and NCR south

Thursday - Muirfield Village and Scioto

Friday - Brookside and Canterbury

Saturday - This is where I was hoping to get onto Inverness but it looks like I'll have to come back next time.

 

if anyone wants to play saturday morning with me around columbus shoot me a PM/email. I might be playing scioto with a member saturday morning so there is availability for one extra and we would get accompanied rate. If that doesn't work out, there's always the scarlet course or the virtues. =P

Getting pretty excited for our July trip.

Playing with my best friend Pebble Beach on July 23rd and Spyglass on July 24th. Hopefully that close to the US Amateur Pebble will be in SUPER shape. Honestly I am pretty consumed with this one :-)

[PThomas]

Just got back from 4 rounds at Sand Hills. Still pinching myself.

Pattaya, Thailand in September. Never been. Advice welcome.

Pattaya, Thailand in September. Never been. Advice welcome.

 

I haven't been up there in years, its not my go, a mate goes on a trip up there every year.

 

They all seem to join https://pattayasports.net/

 

Decent discounts depending on how much golf and where you are playing.

Heading to Scotland on August 2nd, messing around in Edinburgh for a couple days, then up to the highlands for a few days, and back down to St Andrews area to finish. The golf itinerary is:

 

Sunday 5th: Royal Dornoch GC

Monday 6th: Castle Stuart GC

Tuesday 7th: Nairn GC

Wednesday 8th: drive south and whisky day in Aberlour

Thursday 9th: Old Course lottery (kingsbarns backup tee time)

Friday 10th: Carnoustie

Saturday 11th: Kingsbarns

Sunday 12th: head home

 

Really pumped for this one. It's my second time going to Scotland, so hoping to apply some of the learning from the first trip back in 2013. I'll be especially interested to see what condition Carnoustie is left in... fingers crossed for brutal open-esque, and grand stands still up. Not because I'm some sort of masochist per say, but more because I don't think I'll have the chance to play an Open course so soon after the main event ever again.

[ceejay81]

Headed back to Pinehurst in late July. Going to play 6, 7, and 9 along with a couple of replays. I have only played 2 and 8 so I am PUMPED!!

 

#2 just got added into our itinerary. I'll get to play this course twice in a 4 month span!

 

Welp, sadly we are probably not playing #2 this weekend (unless there's a glorious surprise!). But we're all set to play 6, 7, 8, 9, and Pine Needles. Up in the air on playing Mid Pines or choosing another spot for the 6th round. Heard conditions at MP are a bit spotty with bad tee boxes and bare fairways, but we'll see. I absolutely love it down there! Leaving Friday, coming home Monday night.

I was on a non-golf trip last week, spending 6 days traveling by train from Montreal to Vancouver to Seattle. Great time, and wonderful scenery, but now it's time for some golf. I'll be flying to Seattle in 3 weeks, and teeing it up around the Puget Sound area. I haven't booked rounds yet, but the tentative agenda includes 9 rounds in 6 days, including rounds at Chambers Bay, and Salish Cliffs.

We didn't end up playing MP. We doubled up on Pine Needles. Hard to turn down a $60 replay on that course. I absolutely love it there. I still need to get to Mid-Pines though!

Glad you had fun, I'd have done the same in your shoes, even though I like MidPines a little better. Its still a couple of months before my Thanksgiving trip to Southern Pines. I own a condo at Talamore where we'll stay. Luckily, my wife loves to play golf, so we'll be on the course pretty much every day for the whole week. Not sure where we'll play, we can figure that out day by day.

That'll be fun to look forward to! Do you have a rotation of courses you play when you're down there, or do you both mix it up?

 

My friend's dad is a member down at PH, so we were able to stay with him and get the member's guest rate on the PH courses. There was about 3 inches of rain on Saturday night which made playing #6 and #8 CPO. We'd have walked less if we got caddies! Ha! The greens were still super fast even with all of the rain.

In association with owning our condo at Talamore, we're members at Talamore and Mid South, so we always play those at least once, often twice. IMO, MidSouth is one of the better courses in the area, especially after the green reconstruction. We can book our "outside" golf through the Talamore Resort at the package rate, so we can usually save a couple of bucks off the rack rate no matter where we play. We usually try to fit in Mid Pines. We also have friends who are members at Pinehurst, so we almost always play at least one of those courses at the guest rate. We like Tobacco Road and Dormie Club. I enjoy playing at Southern Pines, it'll be interesting to see if the new management is raising the maintenance level.. Sometimes we'll play some of the "lesser" courses, and usually have a good time, but we're pretty spoiled now.

One great thing about going there regularly, we know a bunch of really good restaurants, many of which aren't frequented by golf tourists. One of the best bartenders in town works the members' bar at MidSouth, and he's always good for a few stories.

1) Just got back from Scotland

2) Reynolds Plantation in September

3) Trying to figure out Spring-Summer trip for next year. Finalists are Pinehurst area, Streaming/Tampa Combo. Anybody have any information about Hot Springs Village courses? A buddy of mine wants to play it, but I have found so little information about the courses on this site and in general...

Just found out I'll be in Seattle from August 11-15 for a birthday trip (GF planned everything and just now revealed the destination). Got five rounds set up: two at Chambers Bay, two at Gold Mountain, and one at the Home Course. Looks like the "Championship Experience" is a pretty great deal and includes rounds at all three. https://www.chambersbaygolf.com/championship-experience/. Chambers Bay looks just stunning.

[Roadking2003]
