Cool, a twosome shouldn't be hard to coordinate:) I'm thinking April or may and should get more response by then.

I'd be in...

[mastapp]

I'm tentatively in, but would certainly be more likely to commit once date ime\location are established.

Are you thinking a tournament type thing, cash game or just to go play?

[jrsparks]

I would be in depending on time / place.

I'd be in for a cash game or tournament.

I'm in the south part of D/FW. Can travel really anywhere in the metroplex. Depending on the budget of the group of course, but I'd love to play the old American or something new and really good.

Could start thinking about a Ryder cup style against Houston in the future.

[NickPhillips]

I'm in what course should we play? Who is heading it up?

Pm me or email [email protected]

Whenever we are meeting up. They Ryder cup idea sounds great!

I'd be in depending on date and time/course.

[NickPhillips]

I don't mind setting it up. Would anyone want to play The Courses at Watters Creek in Allen. It is a new (redone) course that just opened in January. It is fairly cheap, around 35 after cart and everything.

[endurancechiro]

Allen would work for me, depending on the date

[NickPhillips]

Are you able to do a weekday?

[endurancechiro]

I am off Friday afternoons

[edub72]

I'm good weekdays the farther north the earlier it would have to be, typically need to be off the course by 2-2:30 on weekdays. Of course weekends are good too. I wouldn't mind waiting until April for some green grass

[amateur pro]

I am in..if you guys don't mind a hack

[NickPhillips]

Want to say Saturday April 20, 2013? The Courses at Watters Creek in Allen teeing off around 8-9?

[endurancechiro]

I can do April 20th

Not playing great right now, but I can get around the course...

[NickPhillips]

I don't mind, as long as we're having fun, it's good enough!

[nando]

It's possible, depending on when.

[edub72]

I'm good with that date, just don't know much about the course since it's been redone, never liked Chase Oaks all that much, but if it's a good re-design I'm open for it.

I never played chase oaks, but I don't think watters creek is too bad. The greens are fast and fairways are in good shape. Not too many bunkers to worry about, but overall, it's pretty decent I would say.

Cool, Chase Oaks just had some goofy holes, it seemed forced into the size of the land because of the adjacent 9 hole course. Fash greens and fairways are good.

[Cardigans]

I would be interested in playing. FYI, I am in the Allen area and I think I read or heard somewhere that Watter's Creek is cart path only until sometime in the summer if that makes a difference to anyone.

[jrsparks]

I could possibly be in depending on work schedule I live in Allen so waters Creek would not be a problem getting to. Please send me a Pm if and when this gets set up.

[NickPhillips]

For everyone that wants to go, please pm me. I am trying to reserve tee times but it must be a relatively specific number, and there are two topics in these forums about dallas guys meeting up. They only book two weeks out, so I will book tee times for Saturday 20 April 2013 at 8:30.

I've played Chase Oaks and didn't care for it much, have not played it since it's been redone, but could it be that much better? If the venue is not set in stone yet, here are some other options for consideration, some of these courses may be expensive but if we call them we may be able to get a good group rate?

Bridlewood
Frisco Lakes
Indian Creek (Creeks)
Fossil Creek
Texas Star
Tour 18
Cowboys
Firewheel (Bridges)
Twin Creeks
Tribute
Grapevine

Gotta say I agree, I'm about an hour and a half from Watters Creek which is fine, but if there's a chance that it is anything remotely close to Chase Oaks, then I would be disappointed, used to live less than 2 miles from Chase Oaks and honestly wouldn't play it for free, it may be better now, but I'd hate to risk it. I can check and see if there is anyone I still know at any of the above courses to get a good deal and I used to book tournaments for a job so if we get enough people I have no problem trying to negotiate with a course.

On that note, I'd be surprised if there isn't a couple of assistants from some of the courses on the site, anyone wanna host a WRX outing?
