That info is almost a year old now so things have evolved significantly.

I think a more recent video from GoldWingnut showed 6+ more Exec's in the planning.

Really? Didn't know that. But was it a championship or executive? They must have reconfigured the layout since the combined 18 holes have just a few short par 4s.

I think it started as an 18 hole executive but not 100% sure.

I doubt that's the case. If it is, it's only because it's the only one in the area, in reasonable cart commuting distance. It's a horrible golf course.

Which one is the 6th?

Trust me, that is the case. I understand that you don’t like the course, which is fine, but lots do like it.

It started out as an 18 hole executive course with the starter shack in a trailer by the tennis courts adjacent to the current green of Yankee Clipper #5. At that time, Yankee Clipper #6 was hole #1. It was converted into the current two course configuration when the current starter shack was completed in the 2011 or 2012 time frame.

I assume they are referring to Marsh View Pitch & Putt - which is not an executive course.

Thank you for presenting facts and the source. Now if people would just follow the link and read.

Seems like many don’t like the course. Of course those who enjoy the turnpike view and free turnpike noise just love it. And let’s pay more to play it to boot.

Thanks.

Why didn’t you just call the district office and get the real answer??

Seems like many on TOTV dont like the course. It seems to get decent play. Will be interesting to see the tee sheet on it in FEB/MAR

I want to drive by and check out the progress.

You can’t. All dirt. Will be for quite a while.
