In fact, 18 at Ruffled Feathers actually resembles 18 at Sawgrass a pretty good bit. 15, 16, 17, and 18 were probably some of the coolest holes I've played in the Chicago area.


Thanks for the info, further research is needed on this one

It was a bit of a devil - one of those courses you need to play at least twice to think like you're getting a fair fight.

16, in particular, was a mind frick. They intentionally grow the reeds high enough so you can't see the fairway and how far left and right you can actually land it. On the scorecard, it's only this little 330 yard par 4, but in person, it was a bitch. Everyone in my group was probably sub-12 handicap, and we went 7/6/6/4 on that hole.

Played Copper Mill after the storm rolled through yesterday. They are punching the greens today.
The wind started picking up after 3 and it got VERY windy. Cart path only, and the course felt like it was 7500 yards with all but the first 2 par 5s into the wind.
Couldn't hit a green to save my life.

Overall miserable conditions for golf but still had a good time.

4/19 Gray Plantation: Greens were decent but not great, a little bumpy. Fairways were good for the most part.

4/20 Contraband Bayou: Greens were sandy, bumpy, discolored and had patches of poa annua — pretty bad. Fairways were good.

4/21 Golden Nugget: Greens were in very good condition, fairways were in good condition.

4/22 Calvert Crossing: Greens were excellent even after a heavy rain, fairways were sloppy due to the rain and the need for a little more grass in areas.

greens are coming back from aeration, but best greens in area when normal
fairways are good
rough is cut short

Played Friday. Some of the greens were missing grass. Tee boxes were chewed up. Otherwise in good shape.

Other than that, how was the play, Mrs. Lincoln?

Played the Bluffs today for the Matt Flynn Invitational. Course was in decent shape. Not great

Hole #2 is temporarily a par 3

LaTour again today, 27 holes

SuPrimo, greens are coming

8am tomorrow see you there, Sonic in raceland for lunch after.

5/5 at Oakwing. While the greens are not pretty, they are fast and rolled true. Fairways are coming in nicely but were recently cut and were rolling fast. Rough is low.
