I would second going and skipping the GB club, which I believe is just an air conditioned tent, plenty of shady spots to post up if you need a break.
Also they have a pretty good volunteer program. If you do 12 hours worth of work they give you two week long passes. Think if you do 8 it’s one week long pass and one day pass.
Hell yeah man. We’re very excited about the area. Love how walkable it is. My wife is kind of uncomfortably obsessed with bagels so she was pumped to see a bagel shop nearby and I’m now pumped that there’s controversy involved! Will definitely take you up on both golf and drinks once we’re moved in!
Hey guys, non-Ohioan here. My coworkers and I haven’t seen each other in person since before Covid came along. We are scheduled to meet in Hudson the week of June 6 and we’ve left open the afternoon of June 9 for a round of golf. None of us are from the area, so I was hoping to get a recommendation or two from the local Refugees.
There are 6 of us, all over 40, including one low cap (<5), two high caps (20+), and three total novices. With that in mind, is there a place we can play that might be memorable/unique/special that isn’t going to break the bank, and where the high caps and novices aren’t going to lose a dozen balls each?
Got out for 9 at Greyhawk this morning. I honestly don’t know how I feel about this place. It is always my go to for an impromptu 9 with a buddy who lives way out west side. It seems to be insanely windy there every time I play it but I don’t know if that annoys me or adds to the fake links vibe. I also feel like if I were to hit 6 iron repeatedly I may shoot 40 (18 hc) the way it’s laid out. Curious what others think of this place.
Edit: as an 18 cap the constantly not flat lies likely throw me off as well
FCC was wet, and windy. No cart paths, so no carts on the wet course. Conditties were tough out there but it was still a beautiful day. The old man walked the front 9 before retiring to the clubhouse to rest his bum hip. Up until then we only saw 2 other guys on the course and after that I’m pretty sure I had the whole place to myself, which after playing packed tee sheets at public courses and munis on the reg is just a transcendent experience.
That said, I got punched in the mouth by the rough. Hasn’t been mown for a few days owing to the rain, and even then I’ve been playing relatively thin and dry bermuda grass down in NC for the past year. I just couldn’t handle it. It kinda sucks to hit shots and watch them land, then walk over to them and they’re just absolutely nowhere.
Didn’t matter though. Beautiful day, great time with the dad. Got some great pictures that I’ll get uploaded sometime soon.
