Might want to add your location and if your talking about exec course or the so called championship courses.

Then there is the group who play the tips of the very back of the back tee box . Get all of it .

I have played with a lot of black/back tee players using drivers on Execs. who would still struggle to hit a green in one, if they played off the green/front tee.
After about five holes they usually start saying how they use Execs to practice chipping round the green!

I would argue that playing the so called black tees on an exec course doesn't qualify anyone as a "black tee player". To those that think they are great golfers because they play an exec course from 1600 yds instead of 1300 yds, think again. Let's go play a 7400 yd course and see how great you are, especially anyone who needs to bring a driver to an exec course

You are most likely too ignorant to read the post or golf. It says black tees. Why would you interject race.

As some suggested, ask an ambassador or one of the pros at the golf shop.
I play the black tees at El Santiago every week. But that's probably not what you are looking for.

Having played a few courses from the gold tees on our visits, it quickly became evident that it's a different course from back there. My hat is off to those who play the black/back tees, as I'll just go ahead and avoid the embarrassment - and stick with the blues.

Almost definitely not. Just basing that on "pga" as part of the OPs user name.

I haven't played here yet.In KY. (Mineral Mounds State Park) I played the white or blue tees. I played about once-twice/yr. so I'm lucky if I break 50. We are living in the Amelia area, what course should I start with? I know the driving range but don't know for sure which one.

Black tees
 
If you are referring to Executive courses, we play the black tees every Monday, Tuesday, and Friday at Amberwood, Oakley, Briarwood, and Walnut Grove. If you are interested in playing with is, when will you be arriving and what part of the Villages are you in?

Gac57 08-21-2021 10:23 AM

We live in Mallory (Amelia). Don't know those courses. I'll look them up.

I have a black tee box right behind my home on Glen View. Seen maybe a handful of players use it, mainly the young professionals who work here.

Funny how it becomes just a chip and a putt for par.

I thought he might be talking about black teas. A lot of people drink that yucky green stuff.

And some people look for a way to be self righteous and they are no fun at all. You are not one of them Mr. D. Wilson.
