I have golfed several executive and championship golf courses over the last two months and yes some of them are in horrible shape. However, there are a whole lot of them that are actually in very good to excellent shape.
I thought about sharing the good ones but then realized that might be the same as telling everybody where your secret fishing spot is.
My advice is to go out and try several different courses in several areas… You might be surprised that you'll actually find what you're looking for.
