Giving new meaning to the slogan "Golf but Louder"

I used to live in McKinney, but moved back home to SoCal. I travel to Dallas (Plano) for work about 5-6 times a year and usually bring my clubs. I'm a fan of Tribute, Heritage Ranch, and Ridgeview Ranch. Ridgeview was my home course when I lived in McKinney, so I tend to play there each trip.

I play all over, but my home club is currently Michelbook in McMinnville. I play a bunch at the Portland muni courses, and frequently make trips out to Gearhart, Highlands, and Manzanita as well.

I have been living in McMinnville and play at Michelbook Country Club. Its a fun little course that is always playing firm (sometimes even in the winter!). I'm also on the board, which gets me access to nearly every course in Oregon and SW Washington, which was an unexpected surprise. I work in Portland and love playing Wildwood, Eastmoreland, and Rose City.

I’m in for that 2:48 at GGP if it’s still avail!

I find it very odd how it seemingly gets no attention at all (a rarity for C&C), I suppose it's been over shadowed since day 1 and it's hard to get to in the middle of the country for the coastal elites. I've only played it once but I wanted to rush back to the first hole and go around again. There are some pretty cool holes I haven't seen anywhere else from C&C, given the unique land it sits on.

I prefer Sand Hollow of the two. Black Desert is more visually stimulating throughout but Garrett and I found the front nine at SH to be really solid from a design standpoint. 12-15 at SH are the most dramatic holes at either course. Additionally, the natural red sand bunkers help make the course feel like an extension of the natural environment versus BD which feels like a TPC course (smooth lines and white sand bunkers) dropped on top of a lava field. Plus I think SH is like half the price of BD. Both are worth seeing once imo, if you go to SH play the 9 hole links course. Well worth it.

Tot Hill Farm does not get the respect it deserves, I think many people played it prior to the reno and it was in rough shape so they keep that opinion. Hot take; it could be my favorite course in the Pinehurst region.

I played on Saturday and it started less than ideal but got a lot better in the afternoon. And Arrowhead is awesome!

Hahahaha if you're asking then it's probably too spicy?
