Playing 1 and 9 from the Tips vs the Blues is fer sher the absolute best. But sheeesh, 6800 could be a little much… but there is exactly one way to find out…
Also:
- Is your company hiring
- Would you let me know if you ever need a fourth
So we got a group in a friends Dads company group that has been getting the membership for years. QH doesn’t even offer them anymore but he’s grandfathered in. QH turns a blind eye and knows not all of us are employees since it is $20k in their pocket. We’re guaranteed like 5-7 tee times a month with most of ours being on the weekends. For what we paid I have already gotten my monies worth in the first 6 weeks of the memebership. And will always reach out when we need an extra!

I’m coming from towson
Fox Hollow was looking alright minus the aerated greens yesterday. Can’t complain about the discount.
Fox Hollow has been in good shape all year, with the minor exception of the rough length at points. Partly due to the rain, but it feels like even then its not getting cut very often.
A couple of my high handicap friends love playing there, so I play it pretty often. Always tricks me into thinking my game’s dialed.

I see Lake Presidential is for sale at $1.75 million. Must be one of the reasons the conditioning is so bad at the moment.

Same thing at my club. Starting to recover but this summer was the perfect storm for killing rye grass.
Does that price include the land, or is it separately owned by the housing development the course is located in? Seems like it would be the discount of all discounts if that price was for the land as well.
We actually have re-seeded our three most problematic fairways with a low-mow bluegrass strain that supposedly is more resistant to heat and requires less maintenance. So I think it will be a benefit in the long run, although many of our members are not particularly happy with the short-term inconvenience.
The remaining ryegrass fairways are slowly improving now that we have seen a couple weeks of better weather for turfgrass growth and recover.
I’m not sure how golf course deals go, but I’d imagine that if it is for the land, that land is probably zoned only to be a golf course or open space or nothing. Would probably be very difficult to re-zone to build any more houses or develop anything else on there
I hope someone can get Lake Pres back on track. I usually enjoy playing there when the conditions are good but they always seem to lose it towards the end of the summer and in to fall.
Recently joined Prospect Bay on the eastern shore in Grasonville. Happy to have any refugees out to play when schedules align.

Was gonna hit QH tomorrow, but the River is closed for an outing. Going up to Wyncote in the A.M. instead.
Never played it but everyone I know who has has always complained about conditioning. Was it ever in good shape? Selling this year either means they are so far behind they’ll never dig their way out or they got a bump in play and PPP money due to covid and can show better financials. Pretty cheap for a good course, but again I’ve not played it.
How is that course? We looked at moving over there 20 years ago but decided against it. It always looked good. I’d come out for sure
Never played it, I LOVE pilgrims oak, but I’ve never played Wyncote. Royal Manchester is my favorite of the faux links courses up there, so I’m curious to see how it stacks up. Drove by it last week and it looked nice.

When it originally opened it was great for a couple seasons then they completely lost the fairways one year. For whatever reason it always starts the year in pretty good shape but by the end of the season it’s gone again.
Wyncote is pretty good. Only played it once but enjoyed it very much.
