I need to win this debate as they are pushing hard for us to live here and I hate Honolulu.
If course conditions are that bad on the 18's how bad are the more challenging of the exc courses.  If one planned to play them to work on ones short game?
How much additional do I need to plan in the budget for off campus golf? And if you can't play in the villages why live there isn't golf the whole point. |
You will find the off campus courses are very accommodating. If you go to Stone Crest for example you can play 18 with cart for u der 30 dollars . yes it's a mile north of the villages . It overlooks the villages.
About a mile east of Brownwood there is a country course named Continential. For a little over $17 (tax ) you will find a 18 hole course once frequented by Micky Mantle (his club was stuck in a tree off the 18th hole)
the day we were there the main broke and part of the fairway was roped off .
The people couldn't have been more accommodating or apologetic. The Pro drove out personally to give us a rain check. so 36 holes for 17 dollars is not too shabby.
