Story Link from March 1

Just got back from a golf trip there. Played 36 the first day and 18 every day for the next 4 days.

I played at TPC Sawgrass... Dye's Valley Course and Stadium Course. Obviously if you can get on, the Stadium Course is worth the experience. Even took the drive down to Orlando and teed it up at Bay Hill with a friend who is a member.

At WGV, I would play the King and Bear. It was in fantastic shape and has a great layout. Greens were in great shape and rolled fast. The only drawback was the restaurant didn't open until 11am... so if you are playing early and want a quick breakfast, pick it up in the way to the course. Staff is incredible and very helpful.

I did get to see Slammer and Squire at WGV. It looked equally in good shape, but they were having a women's member tournament that day and getting ready for Bill Murray's big annual Caddyshack tournament later in the week... so I didn't get to play there.

Make sure you have some time to go through the World Golf Hall of Fame. It didn't disappoint with the all the history of the game and the memorabilia. Some awesome stuff to see and experience in there. Definitely worth a few hours of your day.

Take the drive about 25 minutes south of St. Augustine to Palm Coast and play at Hammock Beach's The Ocean Course. A Nicklaus design that has 6 holes along the Atlantic Ocean or influenced by the winds coming off the ocean. The course was in perfect shape. There wasn't a blade of grass out of place on The Ocean Course.

Also, there is St. John's Golf and Country Club. It was in good shape also... with a few areas that were still recovering. Should be a healed up by the time you are saying you will be there. Wide fairways, but still a challenging course. Greens were pure and rolled fantastic. Only issue where was pace of play was little slower than I like... but it is what it is sometimes. Took about 4:45 to play 18.

Hope this helps.

Have to agree with Gulf Shores Golf Club... a hidden gem and always in good shape when I've played.

I'm also a fan of Craft Farms... Cotton Creek side is a little tighter while Cypress Bend is more wide open.

The couple of times I played Glenlakes it was in pretty good shape and had some interesting holes.

And, a little less than an hour drive to Fairhope is Rock Creek Golf Club. I've enjoyed that course a lot.

Then there are the standards... Kiva Dunes and Peninsula. Play Kiva in the morning before the winds off the Gulf kick up.

Apologies for delay in responding... life gets in the way sometimes...

I use the Arccos Caddie system. I have been using it for a little more than 2 years now. The biggest help I have found is that after playing only a few times a year while I raised my kids... I don't hit the ball as far as I used to when I played 6 days a week.

Since using the Arccos system and learning more about my current game, I have dropped my HCP from a 14.2 to a 6.1 in two years. I'm pleased with that.

I am new here... but have been reading this board off and on for a few months. Some of the topics have been very interesting so I registered and wanted to get involved.

I've played every course on the Audubon Golf Trail... and just wanted hear from other golfers I don't play with often about their thoughts on the courses, conditions, operation of the trail, what you would like to see with the trail, what needs to change, etc.

I've wondered if they have the ability to offer a trail card or loyalty card program where the more times you play, you can earn free rounds or points for discounts in pro shops... something like that.

Would love to heard your points of view.
