Your favorite goat ranch?

Lost Canyons
Simi Valley, CA

It’s closed now, but the years leading up to it closing we’re glorious. I’ve played some really nice courses, but that’s still my favorite course of all time.

Up in the mountains, every hole was either over a canyon, over a mountain. Long as all get out, I think 7400 yards (2 par 5s over 600 yards).

It had two courses, shadow and sky. I never got to play the shadow, it closed years before the other. But the couple years until it closed were great. Always just about the only person out there. Some of the most beautiful mountain views I’ve seen. And since nobody was playing it, it was always like $25.

Now I don’t think it can be considered a “goat ranch” because they had the opposite problem. They just stopped watering all of the grass until it eventually dried out and closed. A big part of my love for golf died that day. I’ve played a handful of really nice $hundreds of dollars per round courses and some nice clubs as well. But to me, nothing will ever compare

I'll take the other city park- Historic City Park in Baton Rouge. It is a really fun course. The greens are super slow and it isn't in the best shape. But it's a fun little 9 hole course with some blind shots, interesting holes, etc.

had to be done

Magnolia Creek in Ethel was the goat. Cheap arse beers and greens were always good.

Pine Forest is a good call!

Braithewait GC (RIP); Katrina blew it away. I would drive an hour each way to play it, and could zip around in 2 1/2 hours. Better than a 5 hour round at City Park-NO.
