Went out and played Bowes Creek today. Never even heard of it till I saw it on golfnow and checked out the website. Got a deal for $59. I can't believe how nice this course was! Apparently it was supposed to be a private course for the new housing development when it was built 5 years ago, but the housing developer went under when the market crashed and they turned the course in a semi-private course.
Very nice clubhouse, touch screen GPS on all the carts, FREE range balls sitting in pyramids at the range, a nice touch that imo should be standard at every course. The course itself is very nice. Not too hard, but definitely some challenge, especially the greens which were lightning quick and didn't hold shots at all. I went by myself and they paired me up with a single and a twosome. Great guys, we had a really good time. After we were done we asked the starter about the $15 replay rate and he told us to just wait 20 minutes for the traffic to clear and then go out for free on the back nine. A few holes into our replay I found a yellow beat up titlelist sitting near the tee box so we started a game where the guy with the worst score on the hole had to use the yellow ball the next hole.
Everyone at the place was very nice. I was using my wedge at the range as an allignment stick and like an idiot I left it there...pressed a button on the touchscreen at hole #5 and 5 minutes later a ranger drove out with my club. Cart girl showed up every 3 holes or so, very nice halfway house with good brats and burgers.
Shot a 44 on the front and a 44 on the back, and then a 42 when replaying the back so I'm calling it a 86 for the day
I even pulled the driver out for the first time in a month and hit it well, but I only used it on holes with lots of room to the right just to be safe.
Gonna take advantage of tomorrow's jewish holiday to go play Thunderhawk. I may be a shit jew, but fuck it, golf is much more important than religion in my book.
