Well.. Someone paid for me to play both. But with caddy and tip and green fee, it was about $600 per man. Overpriced but an unforgettable experience. It was a perfect day too.

They are open to the public, but usually you have to stay at one of the hotels on the grounds to get a tee time. If not you can only get a 24 hour advance tee time if they have the availability. I called them like crazy and finally talked one of the people to hook me up with a 1 month in advance time. Try that.

Spyglass is half that. Like someone else said, it's by far the toughest course I've ever played. Plus the wind was blowing about 40mph. The starter said on that day that if we played the tips where the pros play, it was playing about 8500 yards.. :lol:

Yes. Yeah 3 and 6 require some sort of miracle 2nd shot to get on in 2.

Haven't played out there since Katrina. Not really planning on playing it anytime soon.. :lol:

Friend and I were talking about the worse hole designs around here. The 18th at Royal in Slidell takes the cake. Always cringed when I got to that hole.

Loved 13. Great par 5.

That's a tough driving hole. Visually as well. in a scramble we could only muster a 200 yard 3rd shot.. We all caught that stupid tree on the 2nd shot.

I was thinking about some dynamite on those trees in the middle of the fairway on #6. :banghead:

Good to hear. Thanks :cheers:

Good deal. I'll come look for you guys when we're done and say hi.
