I can see your frustration, being an experienced golfer before even getting here. Now, for someone taking up the sport in retirement it's a disaster. I can't play consistently because the exec courses are wildly different. For example, if you played south of 466A, you would encounter wavy & hilly greens, greens that are above or below eyesight, and hazards that are completely out of eyesight.
So????? That's what makes golf interesting and challenging. But if you don't like hills and blinds shots, here's a list of courses I've played that you will want to avoid at all costs:

Bethpage Black
Bethpage Red
Bethpage Blue
Winged Foot
Baltusrol
Pine Valley
Pinehurst #2 and #5
US Air Force Academy (Blue and Silver)
and many others

But, if you want flat, try:

Eisenhower Park, Long Island (any of the 3 courses)
Just about any course in Myrtle Beach
Just about any course in South Florida
Antler Creek, Colorado Springs

Doggone. I feel a lobster bet approaching! (I haven't played any of these.) But I have played a few hilly, narrow fairway courses in New England. Do those count? (I didn't think so.) [emoji41]

I know you're going to find it hard to believe but I played twice at Baltusrol. It was slightly different than the local public courses. Boy those were the day's. At least I have my memories. The rough was brutal and the greens.....Forgetabouit. I finished but there were a few snowmen on the card. Good Times.

I just knew you and GE were pros. What was your real name on The Tour?

Please name some of these perfect courses (not in Howey in the Hills).

Are all golf courses in central Florida villages or not under the same water restrictions since so many private use wells exists? On the subject of how easy a golf course should be I only took up golf when I came here was because I wanted to be challenged by a new endeavor. I have met my match for which I'm grateful!

As "informative" as that was, some of the rest of us might be interested in just what information you think was bad
