A quiet night following afternoon storms allowed me to get some pics of the Back 9 (aka The Willows Par 37) of the Old Course at the Country Club of Scranton. The Old Course is a Walter Travis designed and opened in 1927. We hosted the 2015 Pennsylvania State AM and the 2016 US Open Sectional Qualifying.

In all fairness the alternative to periodic aeration and topdressing is eventual poor turf conditions.

 

Aeration and top dressing is one thing, of the three greens in those pics, one is fine if the work had been done in the last day or two. The other two are trashed (the second pic doesnt even look punched). The tee box was gone weeks before they punched it.

Omg those are heavily sanded , hope you payed a drastically reduced rate.

 

We got a free round but it was laughable. If you are giving out free rounds might as well just shut down and let the greens heal. Anyways I thought you guys would appreciate the pics

Rancho Las Palmas in Palm Springs CA. Worst greens I have ever played.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Been there once with good condition. That's it. No desire to go back.

 

Played at Desert Willow, Firecliff course. Awesome condition and fun design. Good resort course.

 

Love desert willow. When I go out to Palm Springs area I usually stay at the JW and play there.

I love how everyone's courses are so picturesque with mountains, palm trees or the ocean in their backdrops. While all my course have power lines and airports. LOL.

 

Airports as in plural...you sure your not playing between two runways. Then I again it looks like your in San Fransisco, I suppose they still charge $195 to hit golf balls between two runways seeing how the cost of living is out of control there :D

Skytop Mountain Golf Course, just outside of State College, PA

 

This is easily one of, if not the best course I've played for under $50. It's also the most impressive mountain course I've played in the Northeast. Nothing will come close to the ultra exclusive Yellowstone Club in Montana. There's 2-3 gimmicky type holes with crazy fairway slopes and elevated tee boxes but overall it's very playable. The only "issue" was how wet the course was due to heavy overnight rains. As a result it was cart path only on the front 9 which led to A LOT of walking up steep slopes.

I played eleven rounds last week on a trip from Spokane Washington to Deer Lodge Montana. It's a beautiful part of the country with lots of good golf. I haven't had a chance to upload all my photos yet but here are the first few:

Springfield Country Club. You think Homer is asleep at the controls, or on a donut break? I believe I saw Mr. Burns on the practice green.

The Virtues Golf Club- Nashport, OH

Hole 4

 

 

 

Hole 18

 

I'm playing there next Friday (the 13th)!! What did you think? I'll definitely add a few pics myself!! I'm just praying the weather cooperates.

 

I'm also playing The Quarry Club on Sunday and a TBD round Saturday morning near Cincinnati. Stonelick Hills and Indian Ridge intrigues me. I'll have pics of all 3.

Skytop Mountain Golf Course, just outside of State College, PA

 

I have played it before when I was at Penn State back in 2007 - great course for a cheap price. Thx for sharing the pics

 

I liked it more than Toftrees. Skytop Mountain was definitely in better shape and some of the holes were simply stunning. I'm going to play there again later in the year as well as one of the PSU tracks.

The Virtues was fantastic. Course was in great shape and some of the holes are just breathtaking. Definitely a stern test of golf though, if your ball striking isn't great there are a lot of high scores out there. The Quarry Club is another great course, but I'd consider it a step below The Virtues. The styles of the two are actually very similar but I liked the conditions and layout of The Virtues better.

 

I haven't personally played Stonelick Hills but I have heard good thing about it. Indian Ridge is a nice course, but not nearly on the level of Virtues or The Quarry. Enjoy the trip!
