How far is Mystic from Monroe?
About 1:20 drive.

It's right at about 1.5 hours from Monroe. I think it's worth it though. It's as nice as squire and its relatively cheap for the course.
It's difficult though. It's kind've like a generic version of Augusta. It has a lot of tall spines, the fairways have a lot of variation, and the greens are like putting on glass.

I’d love to try it but that’s a hike for an after-work round.

I used to be a member of Calvert. What they did to Pine Hills never sat well with me though. I LOVED my membership when they owned both courses. Ultimately though I dropped my membership when my girls started competition cheer/dance. So this is spot on.

The membership group that seems to be lacking is the mid-30s to mid-40s age range. Just my opinion, but I believe that is the toughest target group to get right now as those families seem to be spending all their disposable income and spare time on the activities of young children (travel ball, dance, cheer, etc...). That majority of the golfers that fall into that age group just don’t have the time or money to join a club. They just play when and where they can.

Looks like I may get to play BDCC for the first time this weekend. So I can see how the course checks out in comparison to the price.
That initiation of $8k is just a little too much for me to justify the switch, which is unfortunate since I live a mile from the course.

they recently punched / sanded the greens so they are not up to standard.
Good bit of work in the fairways - they have trimmed / removed some landscaping and trees / limbs.
It was hot as hell out there last weekend - hey a morning T time.
Side note - they have more mallards out there right now than I saw all last year duck hunting. Big fat but healthy looking mallards.

It’s now close to two weeks since they punched the greens. As hot as it’s been and as much as they have watered them, I’d wager they are close to fully recovered this weekend. Plus, they are playing the Ark-LA-Cup matches against Mystic Creek this weekend (Sat at Mystic and Sun at Calvert) so they’ve been busting their arse to make it look good!

Was talking about DeSiard
They doing a bunch of work with trees, fairways and a recent punching of greens.
I think the greens were punched early last week

I tried my damnedest to join up when they did the recent membership drive but it was double the last drive initiation fee. Hoping they do one again soon. Lost a few playing buddies from calvert to that membership drive because the employers paid their initiation.

They are already rolling pretty good. A little slow for their standard. Just played yesterday.

James Moore has done a lot of fine work at Frenchman's and the golf course, clubhouse and tournament's are outstanding. Course is in great shape, playing firm and fast. Beautiful greens and fairways!! A fun layout at a very fair rate for sure.

I like Moore - he has that place trending on the right trajectory.

Gonna try Frenchmen's on Wednesday afternoon and will report back
