What new courses did you play in 2022?

[NCLancer]

I've always found it interesting to see where folks have gone and what new courses they have played so I'd love to see where 2022 took you.

 

Special shoutout to our travelling hero Argonne69 and his amazing thread (239 rounds on 239 new courses!)  If you haven't already seen his travels, please check it out:

 

My 2022 brought only 4 new courses:

 

Etowah Valley, Etowah, NC

Maryland National, Middletown, MD

Grandover Resort East, Greensboro, NC

The Woods Mountain View, Hedgesville, WV 

 

I look forward to seeing where others have been!

If I am going to play 2 rounds in St. George/Hurricane and I've already played Sand Hollow...should I play Sand Hollow twice, or Sand Hollow once and Copper Rock once?

Sand Hollow’s Championship Course, especially the back 9 is a great experience.  However, Copper Rock is a hidden gem right now and would not miss the opportunity to play it.  Go for it!

My 2021 was awesome.  

 

2022 was very light in comparison:

 

Colleton River - Dye | SC

Strawberry Creek | WI

Shoreacres | IL

Beverly | IL

 

I was so excited to play Shoreacres that I was awful.  I just wanted to play well.  Shotgun start.  Started on 2 and tried to hit an iron to the middle of the fairway.  Chunk chunk skull chunk and was in my pocket on the first hole of one of the most famous Seth Raynor courses ever created.

 

However, I did:

• Par the redan
• par 12 (the short one)
• 3 putt for par on 15(?)

 

For 2023 I already have a good January planned

• Ohoopee 1/7 - 1/8
• Secession 1/20 - 1/22

May/June will hopefully get me some solid California courses added.

Tell me about it! I live in Montana which has a low density of courses (~110 total) and a large area to cover. Minimum I'm driving 100 miles one way to play a new course here now.
