They are both nice, whichever one is more convenient for you.

More new money at LT

2 different courses / methodology. Oakborne older and plays shorter and tighter. Le Triomphe is longer and more open.

Not sure, but I would think that Oakborne would be the better value as far as memberships go, but not sure.

Oakborne unless you live near LT. Both are great clubs.

Oakbourne is an old style course, with LOTS of trees. Pretty tight also.

Le Triomphe is a more modern style course, much more open comparatively.

Oakbourne is also an old style country club with a much older membership. How old are you? I would say if you are under 50, go with Le Triomphe.

340 yards is chump change.

Get on the business end of a 370 yard NitroSplitter and take some morphine.

No, I play gorilla ball, which is more conducive to LT. If I close the face on a pitching wedge, I can scald it out to about 160 on a line drive.

I'm gonna come back to afflictionville and hit that place with Janky.

He gets Nitro'd with some regularity. He takes pills for the damage.

Oakbourne is tearing the greens out and replacing them. They started this week. Temporary greens for probably 3 months.
