I believe it is . It’s listed in the Executive Courses list on the tee time site . You need to make a tee time to play it , just like any other Executive course.

Not sure of the history other than it was a championship course and the stater shack was by Seabreeze.

Oh , and let’s not forget the recently opened Richmond Pitch and Putt.

Same deal , listed as an executive course in the tee time system.

So, that makes 7 executives south of 44 …..

Although you need a tee time for the Pitch & Putt courses, that does not make it an executive course.

The map differentiates between Championship Courses, Executive Courses, and Pitch & Putt Courses or Short Game Courses. The Pitch & Putt courses are 18 holes and golf carts are not allowed - golfers have to walk. Executive courses are 9 holes and you can take a cart or you can walk.

There are no Executive Courses south of 44 and north of the turnpike - although we have one Championship course and one Pitch & Putt with a second "opening soon."

99.9% sure it was never a championship course. It might have been an experimental exec 18, but it was also two of the courses that, in the summer, could be reserved as back to back nines for a while 3-4 years ago

Can’t wait for the Championship Courses. Will be from 10 to 20 minutes by cart from Linden. Southern Oaks is a great course to play and it does not have the wave. Everything looks fantastic for the area my wife selected. 😎

Yankee Clipper/Southern Star early on was definitely combined as an 18 hole Executive layout, with starter shack (office trailer) next to Seabreeze Rec. Center. We played it many times in the 18 hole configuration, it was never a Championship course.

Sorry I was spreading misinformation. I often wondered how that was called a championship course with the current layout?

If one reads TOTV, that was not the first time - and clearly not the last time that there will be misinformation on TOTV.

I'm pretty sure he, as well as everyone else, would call them SOUTH of the turnpike.

I t was never a championship course. It was just a 18 hole exec course. They split it years ago.

Thanks.

They should fix the championship courses in total disarray before they build new courses. If they maintain the new like the old , nobody benefits.
Try playing. Havana,Cane ,Hacienda , Mallory. Etc. terrible.

Before they fix the championship courses up north, I think they should build some executive courses in the south. There are 13 executive courses north of 466; 16 between 466 and 466A; 7 between 466A and 44; and 6 south of the Turnpike. There are no executive courses between 44 and the Turnpike. I understand that they are building more executives south of the Turnpike but there are no plans to build any executive courses in Newell, Lake Denham, or Dabney.

But they love building pitch & putts and putting greens!
