I am uncertain as to how Princeton CC is not last. It’s flooded 362 days/year.
If the complete collapse of the golden age of The Refuge wasn’t enough to get me to log off forever, perhaps Brough Creek National being ranked between Winged Foot East and Baltusrol Lower will be?
A true who can say?
Some say Inniscrone is climbing up the list with new ownership. 17 still sucks though…
Never played but Scotland Run actually being bad is kind of blowing my mind.
@Flex —friend—I’m proud of you for this. High Fidelity-level list making. Bold and unafraid. Even when you’re wrong, you’re right for being wrong (does that make sense?).
Bravo!
Hey all, so I’m going to be in Salem, nj for a couple weeks for work. Looks like there’s not much in that area and best is to head to philly area. And recs for salem and surrounding area would be preciatted
What are the groups thoughts on Moccasin Run Golf Club out in Atglen? Pretty bland course but overall think it’s a good deal if you don’t mind the drive.
Not sure if you’ll be around on a weekend or have time to go on a Tuesday, but the Cowtown Farmer’s market is just up the road from Salem. Unfortunately, the weekly Saturday Night rodeo there only goes May - September. Classic NJ “Dirt Mall”. https://www.cowtownfarmersmarket.com/
And if you’re bringing your clubs, Town & Country in Woodstown, NJ just up the road is a favorite quirky course the EP does events at each year.
Thanks! Def will have my clubs. Hopefully the weather is nice enough to get a round in.
Currently training for the Philly Marathon and it will be my first time (for a full marathon and in Philly). Any must try/must do things? We do our coffee subscription through La Colombe so would like to check out the Fishtown cafe and area. Pizzeria Beddia looks up my alley. Doubt I could get into zahav I’m guessing. Any and all suggestions would be awesome! Thanks
Zahav has an outside cafe part now that is walk up only. Not the full menu, but still really good and that may be a way for you to check it out.
Suraya is also insanely good, just gotta make a reservation.
Pizzeria Beddia is amazing so if you can grab a reservation there do it.
I also love the burgers at sassafrass in olde city (2nd at).
And get a roast pork sandwich with broccoli rabe and sharp Provolone - dnicks at reading terminal has great ones and the market is really fun to walk around and grab all kinds of food.
If you can, check out laserwolf, it’s in fishtown pretty close to beddia. Same owner as Zahav, and the food is delicious. Might be tough to get a resy but you can set up alerts in case anyone cancels, usually a few spots open up the day of. And echoing what Casey said, Suraya is amazing and likely easier to get a reservation.
I’m drooling. Thank you!
Or you can just go to Goldie Falafel, which is ALSO the same owners, and have a pretty fucking great meal with no reservations.
If you go to Goldie, get the Turkish coffee shake. It’s incredible. You could also go to Federal Donuts (same owner and a few locations) and get a chicken sandwich.
Anyone (who isn’t going to Sweetens) want to play on Saturday?
Moccasin is a great deal if you walk and is almost always in great shape. Pace of play can be tough at times but overall it’s a really solid track. I think that stretch of 16-18 where you can decide to cut the corner and maybe reach the green with the driver or layup with an iron off the tee is a lot fun and can be quite the rollercoaster of emotions. 18 is a great finishing hole despite hitting iron off the tee and if you tip it out the fairways tend to feel a lot more narrow with the trees and if the winds blowing it can be there because the tree lined fairway just turn into wind tunnels.
I’ll plant a seed and see what grows. Would love to get out
Echo this. Just ate at Laser Wolf for the first time last night and it was surreal (Zahav is my #1 but haven’t been in years). If your party size is small (1-2), I would suggest trying the bar seating, they seemed to be first come first serve and were pretty open last night while I was there.
