Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

Thurs group has been talking about playing Eagle Ridge this month. By chance do you know if they plan over seed or aeration or have they already been done?

Thanks.

We played the links at spruce creek four times in April, and found it to be a great course at a great price, and easy to get on.

No, we didn't ask about overseeding but now that you mention it, I wish we had.

Ok, thanks. Then I guess once we decide on a date I shall call them rather than get an on line tee time.

We did play Eagle Ridge on Friday and found it to be in great condition with fast greens. First time we have been there and liked the layout. Definitely will be playing there over the winter.

Course will be closed Oct 24th & 25th for over seeding.

Thanks for the overseeding info. Played Arlington Ridge today. $30+ tax for 18 holes and a box lunch consisting of hot dogs, hamburgers , baked beans ,potato salad and drink. Course was in very good condition, Greens really fast.

Our group played Stonecrest today and all agreed the course was in great shape and green fees were only $20 + tax after 12 noon. Greens were very fast but so very smooth that the ball rolled very true. Lots of awkward lies as course is not flat. Really enjoy playing this layout.

We played Spruce Creek South this Saturday.Course had just been overseeded earlier in the week or the previous week and they were not cutting the fairways or greens to allow it to grow in.Greens were extremely slow but in great condition. $20 + tax and a free lunch. Great deal. Course will be in great shape in another week or so once they turn the mowers loose. Also, very aggravating that the sprinkler system was being computer operated and you had to deal with them.

Played Arlington Ridge Saturday. $28 FOR 18 holes and a free buffet lunch. A good deal for the price. Several greens had stripes onthem where it looked as though a mower had leaked some fluid on them and killed the grass Best I can remember it was about 4 holes.

Played Harbor Hills today and it was a big disappointment. Fairways were very nice and green but the greens(all of them ) were very bad. Looked like a shoddy job of overseeding. Some real slick spts and some spurts of grass . Impossible to make a put from over 3 feet. $29 including tax after 12noon and it was a modified shotgun start with our foursome starting on #3 hole.

While I do like the Harbor Hills course I do not care for the shotgun start. Back in Sept we played in the am shotgun start and they had two groups on every hole. We started on #8 which is a par 3. Got to #9 tee and the 2nd group there was still waiting to tee off. It was pretty much like that the whole round.

I agree; it was like that yesterday. Hit and wait; hit and wait. We barely finished before dark.
