I get reminded of that every year when I go back up north and my scores go north as well. The Villages courses are much easier if you have a decent bunker game and learn to read the grain on the greens.

Must be a lot of straight hitters.

My stats from years ago show the easiest (from the Blues) are Belle Glade, Orange Blossom, Cane, and Hacienda. Played Hacienda Palms/Lakes yesterday and it's in excellent condition, best fairways I've played on in a long time.

Chula Vista, unfortunately closed now fir maintenance, was my choice when I took a handicapped guest for a round. No rises at either the t box or green wide enough fairways.
What is your criteria?

Not my criteria, since I like a challenge, however:

The criteria of the OP was the easiest CHAMPIONSHIP course, not pitch and putts.

Reading---it's not just for breakfast any more

Take a ride over to Black Diamond or Southern Hills Plantation.

Monday Qualifying for the Valspar is at Southern Hills today. They're not playing it all the way back. It will probably take 64-65 to Qualify.

Edit: Already a 64 in the house from Richy Werenski, a "Big Break" winner. Tommy Two Gloves (he's a hoot and another Big Break winner)) is in at 67 and won't make it.
