Prarie Club

Indian is hosting not a web.com event and is above average but in my opinion there are a thousand Indian Creeks out there, it is a pretty generic housing development based golf course. It is a solid course for a Saturday with dad but if I'm traveling I want something better

Really enjoyed Riverdale Dunes - played it after playing GVR in the morning, as it is also easy to get to the airport from it.

It's like a low-rent version of the Irish course in Kohler and I mean that as a compliment. It was really fun :)

 

I went off as a single, the twosome in front of me wanted no part of me and wouldn't let me pass, so I just hung back and joined up with a twosome that caught up to me.

I checked their site, saw openings, so drove over, and off I went. Friendly pro shop staff too. If their teesheet looks open, I'd just go over and play it, it's worth it.

 

I'll most likely do that. It'll be my 9th or 10th round in six days, so even if I don't get on it wouldn't be the end of the world.

 

That's it.

It was my 9th in 4 days, after we played Wild Horse/Dunes, Pines x 3, Dunes x 2, GVR - drop my mate off at the airport and then go play another as our flights were 7hrs apart. I first went over to Common Ground but they couldn't get me out till too late, so I then went over to Riverdale Dunes.

It's a very walkable course, but eff me after all that I was riding. For the two of us, who are coastal born and raised and now live, driving across I80 is something else... especially through thunder and hail storms!

 

That's funny. In college I had a friend from Orlando. We drove from Lincoln back to western Nebraska. He was amazed at the amount of just plain open space. Then going back we drove highway 2 up through the Sandhills, that highway makes I80 look like an urban corridor.

 

I used to take one trip a year (alternate summer/winter) as a kid to relatives in Alberta, Canadian prairies, from Vancouver and it totally reminded me of that. I'd forgotten how neat the never-ending horizon is for someone that is not in it much. Watching the thunder storm roll in and through, while having dinner in the bar at Prairie Club made for a cool light show. Folks were out on the deck taking video/pics... the closest bolt looked to land around the practice green/first tee of the Pines course.
