Bentwater Golf Club Review - Acworth, Georgia

Bentwater Golf Club is located in Acworth, GA, about 45 minutes to an hour north of Atlanta. It’s one of the 20+ golf courses in the Canongate stable, of which I’m a member. I’ve played here about a dozen times, and consider it our home course. Also it’s very female-friendly, with reasonable chances for par [...]

Harbour Town Golf Review – Hilton Head, SC

Harbour Town Golf Review - Hilton Head, SC

I have been looking forward to playing Harbour Town Golf Links for quite awhile. I’ve watched the PGA tournament there (currently Verizon Heritage) for years, and was always impressed with what looked like the tightest fairways on tour. Not sure if they are the tightest on tour but they are extremely tight, which made for [...]

Mirror Lake Golf Course, Villa Rica, GA

We heard good things about Mirror Lake Golf Club (specifically the condition of the greens, which were impressive) so I took a Friday off and we drove down to Villa Rica to play. Mirror Lake has 36 holes – the Lake course and the Mountain course. We played the Lake, but enjoyed it so much [...]

Pine Meadow Golf Course Review, Mundelein, IL

I’ve played Pine Meadow 4-5 times in the past, and have always been impressed with the conditioning. It costs about $100 to play (with cart) which is a bit more than most, but it is an above average layout, so worth it once in awhile. Since I was only in Chicago for the weekend, and [...]

Tierra Rejada Golf Club Review – Moorpark, CA

Tierra Rejada Golf, Moorpark California

I played Tierra Rejada on a warm and breezy Wednesday afternoon. I arrived around 12:30 or so, and was able to get on pretty quickly. I rented a set of clubs and paid my greens fees (teed off at 1, getting twilight) with a total cost of $85. Although the rental clubs weren’t the greatest [...]

Lost Canyons golf review - Sky course - Simi Valley, CA

I walked in to Lost Canyons clubhouse on an early Sunday afternoon in August. I was fresh off a 4 hour flight, but determined to get a round in before my meetings started on Monday. I was greeted by a very friendly person at the counter, and chose to play the Sky Course (Lost Canyons [...]

The Frog golf course, The Georgian Resort, Villa Rica, GA

We played the Frog on the Monday of a long 4th of July weekend.

It’s located in Villa Rica, Georgia within the Georgian Resort, which is about [...]

Pinehurst 8 golf course review – Pinehurst, NC

July 4, 2010
Pinehurst 8 golf course, Village of Pinehurst, North Carolina

The final round of our Pinehurst trip was at Pinehurst #8, and it turned out to be my favorite course of the 4 we played (including Pinehurst #4, #6, #7 and #8.) Pinehurst #8 was built by Tom Fazio to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Pinehurst Resort. There also aren’t any houses on the course, [...]

Pinehurst 7 Golf Course Review – Pinehurst, NC

May 22, 2010
Pinehurst 7 golf course, Village of Pinehurst, North Carolina

Pinehurst No. 7 seems to be the course that the members of Pinehurst play a lot. We had a tee time on a weekday morning, but were only allowed to make tee times until around 8:30 or so, as the members start filling after that. Not a problem on my end, but if you play [...]

Pinehurst 6 Golf Course Review – Pinehurst, North Carolina

May 20, 2010
Pinehurst 6 golf course, Village of Pinehurst, North Carolina

We (Kate and I) played Pinehurst #6 on a Sunday morning around 8:30 a.m. There was a twosome in front of us (which we ended up passing), and a threesome two groups behind us. I love the feeling that we’re the only people on the golf course, and this course provided that. Great way to [...]
