Whistling Straits

[GreenNickle]

Anyone here played this course?

 

[SFNL]

Nope although I'd like to

Hell no, it's like a $370 greens fee for 18 holes. The twilight discount brings it down to $260 and that is still too much.

Yeah, that's too steep for that track...PB is about $450 or so...I wouldn't pay that just to play that one course, but coupled with Spyglass, and (? drawing blank) for a bucket list trip I would do it. Either that or the Bandon Dunes trip...every one I know that has done it wants to do it again, vs the people I know that have played the PB 3some liked it, but would not spend the $2k to do it again.

To date...Ocean Hammock (Palm Coast) $180 per 18 (M-Thur rate) is the most I've sank into 18 holes, the replay was like $60 after 3 which made it not terrible for 36 holes on the Atlantic...not PB but we played it 4 times for the price of 1 round on PB.

I played it, or it played me. It's a beautiful course, but the afternoon wind off the lake can be crazy. If you get there, try the Black Wolf Run course, at least you can use carts there.

NOPE, but my brother in law will play there in a month... freaking ridiculously jealous!

High wind, an ocean, waist high grass ...... I will never be jealous of anyone playing golf with those conditions.

Well, it does look like an ocean.

Oh yea, as a bucket list thing I wouldn't mind it but I'm 2/3 of the way towards a season pass for that price. I've paid $150 for a round before but that was a vacation thing where I just really wanted to play.

I try to get in one golf trip a year...I want to go back out to Colo, but may have to settle for more local this year...the RTJ Trail is probably the best golf for the money I've ever experienced...Grand National in particular.

Golf pass...every time I look into buying a season membership or pass, I find I need to play twice a week to justify it...I get the wife's graces to play on Sat...or Sun, but both might be pushing it...I'd need a Fri or weekday off early to make it work.

At most places here I would need to get in about 36 rounds to break even on a pass. It's not easy getting out there that often.

 

[R.J. MacReady]

Well, it does look like an ocean.

lol .... Oh it's lake Michigan. That's worse than an Ocean.

It's in Sheboygan which is even worse.

From Mar to Nov...I play about 30 rounds a yr including a little golf vacation somewhere.

Dec to Feb...maybe 3 or 4 times.....there's a semi I can join for $1500 a yr...no cart fee, free grass range balls...Layout is not super long, yet challenging, new champions bermuda greens (great putting surface)...that's worth it even if I'm only playing once a week, the only problem is it's about 40 mins from my house.
