Woodys World Year 41

The Dunes is a great warmup.  🙂  
 
It's hard to select a day for The Dunes, as it has limited tee times, so we 
have to take what is available.   Best odds are Mon-Wed.    

Great start to your trip with the Dunes as your opening course, you should enjoy Kings North as well.

Thanks for update, sorry about you not playing. Heal up fast so you can play again. 

Day 2 - kings North.  Tees great, fairways good, greens 9 on the stemp.  Cart paths 3 of 10, worst of everything.  Cart ladies ok but not overly friendly and we saw them 3 times.  Our team were impressed with the layout but think the Dunes was bertter conditioned.  The team still liked the course and would play it again in a heart beat.  

Day 3 is World Tour.  

P.S.  a lady joined the group and out drove the boys most of the round.  

It's going to be tough to judge any other course conditions using the Dunes as a barometer -- probably the issue with playing it first, seeing as how it's a very nice (mostly) private club compared to public courses.

I doubt anywhere else you play will come close to the Dunes in overall conditions.

Besides The Dunes being the best maintained, it also doesn't get the 
wear from heavy play like the package/locals courses.  
  
Thanks!

Day 3 - World Tour.  Tees excellent, fairways excellent, greens excellent.  Staff friendly.  Cart paths the best so far, but some holes were bumpy, but better than Dunes and Kings North.

 I wanted to mention the food.  We have had breakfast at Dino’s all three days and the food and service have been good.  Dinners have been at Benito’s Pizza, second night at Sea Merchants (excellent), tonight we went to The Parsons Table for another excellent meal!  

Tomorrows’s round is at Caledonia so we are expecting another excellent experience! 

World Tour seems to always be in great shape, similar to Arrowhead which is nearby

Day 4 - Caledonia.  Our favorite course.  Tees, greens, fairways, bunkers in excellent condition.  Cart paths were 7 of 10.  We only saw the cart girl once.  Staff in the pro shop charged our rider $30 to ride which is a cheap charge as they have no incremental cost for a rider.  Once we finished they told we could not watch our other group finish as they needed the carts. Again a cheap effort.  If you need more carts for a full tee box at the rates they are charging they should get more carts.  Great course but they need someone to stop all the nit-picking.  Sodas were $3.50 which again is ridiculous.  

Tidewater tomorrow if it doesn’t rain.  

Thanks for our reports on KN, WT and Cal. all very nice layouts, hate the nickel and dime as well but all prices in MB this winter were up compared to other years.  Enjoy Tidewater.

@w082828   They should have enough carts to not be waiting for them. 
Did you play AM or PM?   What tee did you finish on?   
 
I am thinking if you played PM, that they were in a hurry to put carts away
and go home.    If you finished on #18, you could take bags off and let them 
take the carts, while you watched your group.     
 
Thanks for your reports.

Great line up of courses - my favorite routing is Kings North - Dunes is the toughest and USGA quality, Caledonia and Tidewater are great, and World Tour is always fun and has been in really good condition all winter and spring. MBN has been running over 700 rounds every day - tough to keep greens really fast. MBN needs to fix all their cart paths!

Day 5 - Tidewater.  Course conditions were excellent.  POP was really slow at 5 hours partly due to the rain but mostly due to slow play ahead of us.  Best cart paths all week.  “Freeway level”. As one of our guys said.  Staff good and friendly.  We saw the cart lady 4 times.  

‘’Dinner last night at Parsons table and it was outstanding as usual.  

Tommow is our last day and we are playing the TPC course for the first time in a long time to finish our week.  

Last night dinner at Chestnut Hill which is our custom.
