Day 7 Round 1

Course: Burning Ridge (First time playing)

Greens: Good, reasonably fast 

Fairways: Decent Fairways were some what green

Rough: Not overseeded

CPO: No

People I played with: Very friendly and told me right off, that they were here to have fun and to play ready golf

Notes: No beverage cart

POP: 3.75 hours. They were double teeing. We were the first group out on hole #1 and played the front 9 in 80 minutes.

Day 7 Round 2

Course: Wild Wing Avocet (First time playing)

Greens: Good, very fast 

Fairways: Decent Fairways were some what green

Rough: Not overseeded

CPO: No

People I played with: Played alone

Notes: No beverage cart

          They told me it was a links style course. Played a few in the past and they                   looked nothing like this  

          Once you tee off, you never come back to the club house

POP: 3.5 hours. Waited on every hole after #5.

Breakfast: IHOP. Was good for the money

Lunch: Wild Wing Resto, Just OK

Dinner: Grumpy Monk. Lots of mediocre food for the money

Overall Day Rating: 7.5

Tomorrow: Myrtlewood (First time)

 

Thanks for reading.

I also would not call Wild Wing a links style. 
Maybe they say that due to a double green. 
It's mostly a modern traditional style.    
  
At Myrtlewood, Palmetto doesn't return to the clubhouse,
Pine Hills does.      
  
Thanks!

Day 8

Course: Myrtlewood Palmetto (first time)

Greens: Very fast and undulating 

Fairways: A little wet, but good. Fairways were green

Rough: Not overseeded

CPO: No except for 8, 13 and 14. Could understand 14 but not the others

People I played with: Played on my own

Notes: Noticed no signs at the tee box. Weird as you didn't know hole number or yardage if you didn't look at the scorecard 

POP: 3 hours. It was chilly today. When I finished it was 48 degrees and breezy. 4 some on number 5 let me play through and then caught up to the next group on 15.

Breakfast: Harry's Resto. Was good and fast when I didn't need them to be fast

Dinner: Hooters was decent

Overall Day Rating: 9.5

Tomorrow: Glen Dornach (First time)

@kano-mike 

Good to hear about fast,undulating greens. Palmetto did some renovations recently, but not sure if new greens were part of them

Day 9

Course: Glen Dornoch (first time)

Greens: Semi fast

Fairways: A little wet, but so so. Fairways were semi green

Rough: Not overseeded, not only that, many were very thin and your ball would roll for ever 

CPO: No except for a couple

People I played with: Played on my own

Notes: Nothing special, probably the worst course condition to date.

POP: 3 hours 10 minutes. It was chilly today. A very slow two some let me place slow. Then caught up to next group on 14

Breakfast: Theo's Pancake House. Very good and very fast

Dinner: Went to Sam Snead's. Food was good, service was so so

Overall Day Rating: 7.5

Tomorrow: Was supposed to play Crow Creek and Pearl. Pearl will be closed. So I will hopefully play Crow Creek (Played before) and Oyster Bay (Never played)

 

Thanks for reading

If you are trying different breakfast places each day, try Dino's 
in front of Azalea Sands, if it's on your way to golf.   
 
Thanks for reporting!

Not surprised at Glen Dornach - course has been in rough shape for a long time


Golf is just an excuse to drink whiskey and smoke cigars

Day 10 Round 1

Course: Crow Creek

Greens: Good, reasonably fast 

Fairways: Very good, fairways are very lush

Thanks for all your reports, agree with Glen Dornoch and their conditioning troubles.  Playing Oyster Bay next week and am now looking forward to it.  Art gave you a good tip on Dino's for breakfast, across the street in Plantation Pancake House that is also owned by Dino's.  If you get down to play Tidewater try The Shack on Sea Mountain Highway for breakfast, very good and you get lots for your buck.

You will probably have more pairings if it warms up. 
 
If a course isn't busy, they usually don't have a bev cart running,
but they should tell us.   
  
OB is very interesting, which is why we keep wanting it to improve
conditions.   

Thanks!

It's good that you got a round in today.   
 
It looks like it should be warming up some now.
