Stubby, is that #7? My brother lives out that way and I played it last Spring for the first time. For the price I thought it was pretty decent course. I did get a hamburger and beer afterward as part of green fee, was fairly tasty and filling. Unlike you, I took a crack at driving #7 green into a cold, 10-20 mph headwind at time. Couldn't of clocked it much better but came up about 5' short of clearing water, green side. Nice double bogeys, lol! DQ'er Yep that is #7 and I bogeyed it.

I typically par the hole...210 yards from the blue tees, left of the sand trap which gives me about 105 yards (wedge) into the pin. 1-2 putts.
I am still looking for the perfect apron, one with reinforced knee areas would be perfect. Some people live an entire lifetime & wonder if they have ever made a difference in the world, a veteran doesn't have that problem. 40th

Playing Tour 18 with a buddy that lives there in a couple weeks. Turtle Hill Saturday. Unsure if the weather will hold out for Sunday's two-man scramble. I started to book a tee time at Turtle Hill for Saturday. They want $50. It's not a $50 course. I like the greens , but the rest leaves much to be desired. I'll wait for daylight saving time and book a cheaper, later tee time.

I bet it's been almost a year since I played there but I used to play there a lot. Lake Murray is usually option #2 and the condition of WinStar has been dreadful for a long time so sometimes I still make it out there. Website says $30 weekdays and $40 weekends but I paid $52 after tax 18 months ago so I don't think they update their website. In fact, I am shocked they have one. Not a $50 course? I guess that's relative. A dozen eggs shouldn't be $8 but it is.
Pass the gravy.

Turtle Hill Saturday was $38.83 after tax and a 4% surcharge for using a card (they notified beforehand). Very crowded but not slow. Decent condition other than some of the fairways which is normal for a rural course in February.
Pass the gravy.

I'll remember not to book online. I thought it was a lot cheaper than $50 the time I played there, but I booked at the clubhouse. The bent greens are a plus. It was nice weather.

Got out yesterday evening and hit the ball great! My son picked up a set of gently used Titleist T-300 irons and they are so much better than the outdated technology I’ve been playing with. Very forgiving clubs and they are almost two clubs longer than my old ones.
