Had to circle back after my round here. On top of everything stated above - it’s also hard to overstate how much fun this course is. Had a huge smile on my face the whole time!

Where was this last weekend for one and done, Sahith???
In more important news, Tommy Fleetwood gets his second win on American soil and even takes down Tiger in the process.

Would love to hear potential scuttlebutt on the second courses' designer? MIke K after Candyroot?

Pretty great to hear - certainly jumps to the top of my daytrip list living in Atlanta. Have they announced any details as far as access?

Thanks for the suggestions! This will be our 7th trip and we have been to a new spot each trip. Our 2nd trip was to the Grand Rapids area and we played both Diamond Springs and Pilgrim’s Run. Both great courses and suggestions.
The guide will be helpful for sure. Will need to figure out something for in between Pinecroft and Champion Hill for lunch since they don’t have a formal kitchen.

$220, a sub 22 handicap, and moderate flexibility makes you a member for the day at North Berwick. Glad that Broomsedge is building on that vibe.
While much of the construction in Ga and SC is private (I’m in Augusta), there’s a great public access list growing around here:
- Aiken Golf
- Patch
- Broom
- Warmouth
- Pinehurst / Mid Pines / Tobacco Road
Park 9 and and Fields are west and South of that area, but nice to have them nearish.

We are about to have a guide go up on this area!
A couple of suggestions, Arcadia South has an INCREDIBLE super twilight deal and its definitely worthy of a 2nd play.
My other recs would be any of the DeVries courses in the Grand Rapids area that we have covered extensively.

We need WAYYYYY more of this in the United States.

I was wondering how this would possibly work out financially with their previously stated membership cap of 250 - this makes a lot of sense and should be great news for the area!
Lots of exciting projects in the works across SC at this time!

Did a handful of Augusta merch disappear or already sell out? Had a handful of shirts I was looking at earlier that have vanished now that I’m taking a second look.

Agree with all of these suggestions, would also add Pilgrim's Run (DeVries) to consider as well if the optimal time to stop takes you north of GR, versus Diamond Springs being more south.
Another to consider that is private but if you have a connection is Muskegon Country Club, which is a Ross design/re-design, not exactly sure the correct attribution there

The best part about "best" is that it's subjective, so you learn something about the person based on their response. And it's great water cooler debate.

Mike,
Don't forget The Dozen at Arcadia! Its a fun course for match play and buddies trip. Its six par 3s and six par 4s in two loops. Its a great addition to the resort.
Otherwise, you got the other The Fried Egg recommendations already on the agenda. If you are looking for a Thursday round in the area, I would look at adding:
1. Manistee Golf & Country Club - Delightful Tom Bendelow right on Lake Michigan. Shorter course at 5,600 that helps warm up after a drive. $35 to walk, $65 to ride.
2. Lincoln Hills Golf Club - Nine holes were designed by Tom Bendelow. Those are the fun holes in my opinion. A couple good breweries in Ludington to hit up after the round.
3. Manistee National - 36 hole facility. I feel like this resort was made for buddies trips. Newer ownership that has been making updates. New short course was added a year or two ago.
If you are want to take a break from driving and you are coming up 31, I'd recommend looking at:
1. American Dunes Golf Club - A unique experience in golf, and a special place if you are veteran or have family/friends who have served in the military. The club's mission is to raise awareness and funds for the families of fallen and disabled veterans.
2. Diamond Springs - Short detour. Mike DeVries' course that utilizes a single cut height of grass. Great land. My favorite of the DeVries' Trio.
Obviously, if you chat up Crystal Downs member in a Frankfort bar and get an invite, do that! Have fun!

I just signed up as a single actually as well and would be down!

If anyone is signing up for Onwentsia without a teammate and wants to partner up, let me know! Cannot promise great golf but I can promise no complaining.

I think I've played it 5 times in different winds and different pins and found it really intriguing each time. If you leave it up left on a right pin, it can be a nasty two-putt. Left to right wind and trying to get to the left pin can leave you another tough pin. I guess not as strategic but I think a great test.
12 on the other hand is the hole where I feel like I don't really have any option but hit it as far as I can and right of the green and hope for the best.

Where was this announced? I'll be there for reversed in April.
