We are coming down soon for a lifestyle preview. We have played a championship course before but would like to try an executive course. I think we can rent clubs at a championship course then cart over to an executive to play. Anyway I would love some recommendations for an executive course to play. What's your favorite and why? Thanks for any input.

If you want a good challenge then play Pelican. Possibly one of the toughest Executive courses here. Hardly any room for error in your tee shots on that course. I would also suggest Truman or Roosevelt. We like them because of the elevation on some holes and along with a windy day it is a decent challenge.

Thanks all for the suggestion. I see by the map a lot of holes are on the lake. Looks great. It is close to Palmer so I can get the clubs there.

Cane Garden is one street over from Pelican. Nothing better than a round at Pelican and the happy hour at Cane!

Pelican is not available to lifestyle preview guests. I got a tee time at Heron right next door and the map indicates it is a close second. Thanks again everyone.

I like Heron too. Played Pimlico couple of days ago. It is a little longer than most executives from tee to green on SOME holes.

Pelican and Heron. Of course I live on Heron so somewhat biased.

I'm a terrible golfer. I love Heron because I think it is so "pretty." I enjoy the scenery so much more than trying to get that little ball in that little hole!!!

I'm with the crowd - Pelican and Heron are also very beautiful!

Try Amberwood. Nice, challenging course.

While I agree Pelican is a challenge and Heron is beautiful let's not forget Walnut Grove. I think the elevation changes and the sand traps will give anyone a tough round especially the first time.

I think the person who said that didn't realize that they changed the rules on LSV use of executive courses. My visit last year included executives (except the resident only clubs: Silver Lake, Mira Mesa and De La Vista)
At least that is my understanding. |
