Indian Ridge is in really great shape this morning. The greens are rolling so good, the fairways and tee boxes are lush and cut perfectly. Sucks people can't fix their ball markd but tgats not the course's fault.

Still room for a couple of players for a GolfWRX outing this Saturday (June 29) at Heatherwoode (Springboro, OH). Tee times are 2:10 and 2:20.

Yep! If you want to play I have a spot for you.

[Neverfadeaway86]

Has anyone played mankiki? Playing there Saturday for the golfweek am tour and have never played it for just wondering what I'm in for course wise... Also looking online It seems like there's no range is that true? Is there a range semi close by that would be worth hitting up?

Just played there a couple weeks ago, course was in good shape, as usual, but we’ve had lots of rain. If you’re not straight off the tee you’re in for a long day. Almost every hole is lined with trees. They do have a practice area, definitely not a full range though. There is a par 4 that has a huge, let’s call it a dip, in the fairway, definitely lay up about 160-170 and you’ll have a good look at the green, you can see it coming up the previous hole so look out for it. If you go driver and find yourself at the bottom of this dip, you’ll have a difficult, severely uphill approach shot.

If you're talking about 16, I'll disagree. The play is driver over the tree and try to make birdie with a wedge from the hill. The green is too small and lay ups often get blocked out by the tree. If you're talking about 17, then you're 100% right to stay on top of the hill. IF you can reach the bottom of the hill on 17, which would be a big tee shot, then it's tough to get the wedge to spin and stop close from the bottom of the hill.

[BogeyPutt34]

Whichever hole plays to the left from the tee is the one I was referring to. If 17 is the one that plays right, I would completely agree going over the tree is the play, as long as you can get the ball over the trees.

Well they are doing a shotgun start so depending on where I start and how my day is going I might be in the eff it I'll try anything stage lol

[BogeyPutt34]

I like your style lol

[Celebros]

Still one more spot at Heatherwoode Golf Club (Springboro, OH) this Saturday (June 29). Tee times are 2:10 and 2:20.

 

Have 7 GolfWRXers confirmed but if you want to round out the group, let me know!

[swish16]

@BogeyPutt34 Nvm just reread what you said no full range

[buckeyefl]

I was able to make the annual trek to Chippewa ( my old "home course") today. It's in it's usual great shape and challenging as usual. Greens were firm and rolled very nicely.

It rarely disappoints

Swish how was manikiki for you?

[Hellstorm]

For anybody interested, there is another group of Ohio WRXers playing on September 14th probably at the Quarry or Hawk's Nest. If you want to play, there is a thread in the regional where you can sign up.

[swish16]

Manikiki wasn't bad.. Its not great but the course was in decent shape I don't think that I would be interested in making the drive up there to specifically play that course with the options of courses I have here in the canton area

[BogeyPutt34]

Hellstorm and I just played the quarry last week, that was a good time. Tough course if you don’t know the holes though

[swish16]

Quarry is definitely a nice course they just hosted a golfweek am tour event on Saturday that I'd planned on playing but my game isn't anywhere near where I'd like it to be at the moment so I opted to skip it and played a scramble at spring valley it's a fun track to play greens are good shape and fast as they always are. I played my league there for the past couple years till this year when I joined a new league at Sable creek.. I miss the money those guys would throw around at my spring valley league though

Played stonelick hills saturday afternoon, while course looked green and to be in amazing shape it was super soft and wet. Regulars we played with said it is always soft and wet. Find this hard to believe in late August. Had multiple balls plugging in middle of fairway! Greens were ok where they weren't soft and bumpy. My favorite course in the area, not sure now though if you get negative roll and you sink in everywhere!

I played Sunday and couldn't believe how wet the place was. Almost to the point of concern for root rot of the sod. Course has seen a ton of play recently (likely due to the lack of courses of similar quality/layout in the area) and it kinda showed.

yeah it has always been my favorite course and not sure I will go back this year or for the years to come! It is a shame too it is a great track and layout. I think they are more concerned with keeping the course green then being playable

[KarstenK]

Heard the other day Cook's Creek is in horrible shape and is going to be turned into a park. Any truth to that?

[TMadigolf]

https://cbusclubhouse.com/articles/canoes-could-take-over-cooks-creek-gc-in-ashville

They recently had girls districts, i believe, pulled because of course conditions. From the picture in the article and reviews from this year it sounds really bad.

[KarstenK]

Oof, yep that article and pics are about what I was told. Liked The layout the couple times I played it several years ago now.

[luke1333]

Quickly becoming one of my favorite courses in the area. Twice in under a week!
