Couldn’t have asked for a nicer weather day in February. Big shoutout to @bogeytax for setting this one up.

#7 approach and green


#14 green (candidate for best hole)

#17 green (mere mortals don’t have the swing speed to hold this green from 200+)

This might get my vote (has nothing to do with being my only birdie I swear :grin:)

Couldn’t have asked for a better day! Great weather, better company and a course that really wowed me.

A few more pics of notable holes I enjoyed.

#16 par 5

The scale of 16 really got crazy after the tee shot. Great par on that hole, by the way :pinched_fingers:

I used to play Ocala GC and Lake Diamond quite a bit while I was at UF. Also remember playing Stone Creek a few times. Very decent public options in Ocala!

Damn, this looks sweet. It definitely doesn’t look like Florida golf.

Did you ever play El Diablo before it closed?

Sure did, maybe 4-5 times. I remember liking it quite a bit. It was so remote that I’m not surprised it went under. Like the courses in Ocala and Gainesville, it had a lot more in common with Georgia golf than typical Florida golf.

A Scottish friend of mine is the host of the Top100GolfCourses.com podcast. He was over for the PGA Show the week prior and came to Atlanta for this past week. Between us, we managed to arrange a nice 5 days of golf from Tennessee to South Carolina.

Weds 31 January:
Lookout Mountain Club

Stayed by Sweetens Cove that night, so we did some night putting competitions. It wasn’t warm!

Team Penfold (not the best for carts really)

Fri 2 February:
Augusta CC







the view up Raes Creek, little patch of the greenest of the green in the distance…

One of the guys we played with took us to Forest Hills at dusk to squeeze in a few holes (1-3, 6-9). Sanded greens were a little dodgy. Seemed like a fun enough track.

Sat 3 February:
The Tree Farm















After 18 at The Tree Farm, we decided to check out Aiken Golf Club. One of our caddies, an ex-Latin Tour Player named Garland Smith joined us. He was an absolute stick. We were both pretty tired so this was the only pic…

Sun 4 Feb:
Old Barnwell












me and Hendo



14. Favorite hole on the property. That sneaky bunker you can’t see at all on your approach. Managed to avoid it.

@westerj12 is everyone all paid up for entries?

I’m not following the thread anymore, but why do I feel like this is the answer?
