Thats a quote from the pro asshat.

Beau Chene. Another good option with a similar drive, benefit of being fully private and two courses. Really have no info on how the course looks now a days as it's been over a year since I have played there. Also not sure how the member culture is there and if they do a lot of member events.

---

There are generally two tournaments a month for members, one club event and one MGA (Mens Golf Association - optional join for like $125/year). Oak is in really good shape right now (fairways and greens) but the bunkers there suck, really really bad (on both courses). Some are good and some are awful. Drainage is terrible and they have side walls so the crew takes all the sand from the middle of the bunker and pushes it to the walls and you're left with clay, rocks and even exposed plastic covering on the bottom for mid day rounds in alot of them.

That being said, a very diverse membership base, great for families, easy to find casual groups, gambling groups, morning groups, afternoon groups.

They can have alot of outside tournaments there so sometimes it is a PIA to get a tee time and sometimes even both courses are closed but pace of play is fantastic (3.5 hours for a foursome).

TONS of OB and the white stakes are on the golf course side of the ditches between the homes and the course rather than the homeowners side so in quite a few instances, if you miss a green pin high and you're 2' off the green, you could kick OB.

Oak is less forgiving off the tee than Mag and I think the layout of Mag is better.

Costs are generally low up front but they nickel and dime the hell out of you charing extra for the driving range plan, it's like $20 for a 9 hole cart. On course food is essentially non existent so don't expect a turkey or chicken salad sandwich sandwich if you're hungry BUT the bar and grill for after play is nice and they have a good happy hour.

If comparing Gresytone and BC I would put it like this:

Beau Chene has 36 holes as opposed to 18 and is the winner with course variety and it helps with pace of play. They also are a better option for fitness, tennis, pickleball, youth swim team, evening events like steak night, bingos, bourbon nights, fireworks and holiday parties. It's more of a "traditional" old course feel with alot of protected elevated greens, oak trees, scenic water, etc.

Greystone will more focus on golf and is more "modern" in terms of design (rolling fairways in places), its longer and it's usually more "consistent" with conditions but that's much of a byproduct of having to maintain one course rather than two.

Side note: bonus for good Friday games. I am off on Fridays and always easy for me to get a round in so a big plus would be skins games etc on Friday mornings.

---

Friday afternoons are BIG at beau chene, bigger than Saturdays and Sundays in most instances. The mornings are generally for the older golfers but mid mornings, early afternoon into the afternoon you can generally find 3-4 games of 2-4 groupings all playing different games.

Might would take a look at some of the maxfli tour balls, better quality with a good price point until you are comfortable not losing multiple per round.

---

Going with a MINT mid-upper tier ball like AVX, Maxli Tour, TPX, Chromesoft from somewhere like LostGolfBalls.com is the way to go IMO

That is definitely an official rule.

No its not, it's a local rule.

Slightly more than Cortana

I've been considering going the day/night before just to make my life easy (especially w 3 little ones).

Always fly in the day before.

We are closed on Monday too and normally the pins are changed on Saturday but having two courses helps if I play one each day but the same pins and tee boxes on the weekends is lazy.

Or maybe Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday mornings.

---

I would much rather different pins on Saturday / Sunday.

I think changing the pins on Wednesday morning, Friday morning and Sunday morning makes sense. On days you don't move the pins (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday; move the tee boxes)

You chose shitty tours and a bad hotel.
