Tour18
Who here has checked this out? My buddy wants to make a trip out there to play it but I've never heard of it before today.
Apparently they have recreated some of the most memorable holes from around the PGA tour.

I have heard its pretty cool but not the most amazing thing. Ive been wanting to get out there one day

I've played it several times in tournaments (work scrambles). amen corner, the TPC island green, Bay Hill's par 5 around the water, and the blue monster are the holes that really stand out. I'm sure that the Amen corner is missing the necessary topography to be a true replica, but it's stil kinda neat to try to hit that green at 12. I think it's worth playing once.

Nothing special IMO...
Was cool to play the layout of the holes, but overall, the course isn't kept up like it should be. Or at least not when we played.

I have been 2-3 times, but it has been a while. Fun course, hope it's in good shape.

Nothing special at all and it's an extremely slow round out there. When I played it wasn't in that great of shape. Wouldn't go back

It's about 10 minutes away from my house. I have only played there once.
It was fun. I'm not a big golfer, but it was fun to play some of the famous holes. It was nice when I went several years ago.
If you are into golf, you'll really like it. Where else can you play 12 on Augusta besides at Augusta?

It was in pretty good shape last time I played. Few months ago.
The reproduction of amen corner is done very well there.

Fun course but not one I would choose to play regularly. They run some decent specials during the summer though.

If it's in good shape, it's worth playing a couple of times.
I've heard years ago the one in Dallas was better kept.
I enjoyed the round I played there, but can't say it was in great shape. And this was years ago.

It is definitely worth playing at least once. The course gets a lot of tournament play and not always in the best shape. But, it is kind of cool playing Amen Corner. The Island green replica is TWICE as big as the green at Sawgrass.

I've played the one in Dallas. I really liked it. I made a 10 on the island green at Sawgrass replica.
4 shots in the water, 9th shot to 2 ft and tapped in for a 10.
If you decide to play, book your tee time with GolfNow. I just looked and you can get a Saturday afternoon round for $45.

played it about a month ago. was a great time. the course was in great condition and perfect weather that day today. Amen Corner and the Blue Monster really stood out to me on the course.

I've played a few times and each time has been a different experience. If the course is in good shape it's an awesome experience. If it's had a lot of rain or not much rain at all it's just a mediocre course IMO.

its worth playing once in my opinion for the novelty factor. as others have said, the Amen Corner, #17 at Sawgrass and the blue Monster are the standouts. #14 from Pebble Beach is also a fun Par 5.
Other than that its not a course you want to play over and again. if I drive that far I'll play redstone

Just a tad bit of price difference between the courses
but I agree.Posted on 6/18/13 at 6:25 pm to MillerMan
Great course. Actually played it last week. First time playing 18 holes in about 15 years.
