Platteview installed these last week. Ball can be completely holed now and you just raise up with your putter to get your ball back.

Indian Creek has had cups below-ground (with pool noodles) since at least Saturday. (Still raised on the putting greens).
They punched greens (small holes) about two weeks ago. With the colder weather recently, they havenāt got the growth to fully heal yet. They arenāt bad. I think they are about 10 days away from pure.
WARNING: They may put you in a cart with a stranger or charge you double cart fee if you wish to practice social distancing.

Benson has been doing 12 min tee time gaps so that they have enough carts for single riders (city course mandate, a bit too strict because they wonāt even let your own kid ride with you).
Itās been heaven! I walk anyways. But all this baloney about āplease play in 1 hr 10 min per nineā while trying to send a group off every 7 minutesā¦ it really wasnāt the golfers, it was the traffic.
With every 12 minute times (and solo carts) you effectively feel like you have the course to yourselves. Occasionally youāll seem to catch the group ahead of you when they have a bad hole but then theyāll pull away again. But when itās tight tee times, that bad hole makes the next group wait and it ripples backwards through everyone because there is no slack.

Damn, man.
Anyone up for a 7:10 at Benson or Tiburon on Sunday morning? Nabbed a time at both so we have options.
Iād be a solid maybe at Benson. No real interest in Tiburon tbh.
Itās not my favorite place but I snagged it in the event there was no interest from the refugees. Would grab a couple non-refugees and head there since itās less than five minutes from my place. Figured since I booked both I may as well offer it up as well. I certainly lean heavily toward Benson as well.

How often do you get to Johnny Goodman?
Not often enough, but more frequently than Benson. I always struggle around Goodman because I canāt force my hook around the place.
ha!
There are a number of holes friendly to a hook though! And a few others thatā¦ arenāt.

Out this Sunday, like the idea though. Keep them comin!
A general āmehā towards Tiburon as well. Benson is awesome. Iāve played too many 3-hour 9 hole league rounds at Goodman that it is permanently ruined for me I think

I dont think iāve ever played in under 5 hours at Tiburon. The last time i went out with my wife, we drove in after 7 holes, and two and a half hours.
yikes
You can play the first nine pretty quickly if you get out early, but then you always get hosed at the turn waiting behind three groups to tee off on the next nine. At Benson and Goodman youāre free to just turn.

Goodman and Tib always seem to take forever. Exactly why I feel the need to get out before 8.

I just moved here a couple weeks ago, so I havenāt played any Nebraska courses. Iād be down for Sunday if thereās still a spot.
Have a couple pending right now. I should know tomorrow. Would definitely like to keep trying in coming weeks too.

Has anyone been out to The Knolls this summer (or even last summer)? How are the greens and general maintenance?
I wasnāt on my game securing a Thursday tee time and now it seems everywhere is booked. Perhaps not a great sign that The Knolls still has some spots.
