A friend and I (Mr. Barter) went and played Old Hickory Golf Club on what started out as a brisk morning. Everyone from the moment we walked through the doors to the starter outside were very professional and friendly. The course was packed. We were able to go off the back as a twosome. Being [...]
Golf Course Reviews
My oldest son made the All Star team this summer, so instead of playing lots of golf, I spent much of the summer watching baseball. Not a bad trade off – especially if you consider the occasional round I was able to sneak in with the other team Dads. We played some great courses, but [...]
I was requested (or at least I’d like to think they wanted me to play) at a special Holly Hills (Frederick, MD) event last weekend with some members and many other guests. Being mainly a public course player, I always look forward to playing “Country Club” golf and Holly Hills is definitely that! From an opening [...]
We were initially worried that the torrential rains from Wednesday and Thursday would put a damper (get it) on our scheduled Friday round but not at the Musket! We arrived for a late morning start to a 65 degree sunny but windy (gusts to 30mph) day and wondered just how wet the course would be [...]
Recently Waggle ventured up to Whitetail Golf Resort in Pennsylvania to meet up with our new Harrisburg correspondent Righty. We decided to sneak in a round of golf at one of my very favorite places to play on our way to the WVU/MD football game. Whitetail is located in Mercersburg PA, just north of Exit [...]
A Friday off prior to Labor day gave me the opportunity to get back to a course that I hadn’t played in years! (See prior review dated 04/30/2004) I looked forward to another good experience on this playable and inexpensive track but alas – sometimes our expectations are not met. Don’t get me wrong, this [...]
When I first began golfing, many years ago it seems, I played in several golf tournaments at a course called South Hills Golf Club in Hanover PA. I remembered it to be a pretty nice track of 18 holes and being a new golfer, thought it was a pretty difficult course. The last time I [...]
The Waggle team ventured out for a mid-week junket at Westfields Golf Club in Clifton Virginia – a course I hadn’t played in since the summer solstice several years ago. This Fred Couples course is certainly a great layout and offers tree lined fairways and several holes with elevation changes. There are several sets of [...]
Our annual NVS competition took us to Hidden Valley for a 36 hole “day two” of our event. From my last review, I remembered that Hidden Valley wasn’t as nice as its neighbor Seven Springs but whatever has happened in the past 7 years sure brought this course back to “resort standard” as the fairways, [...]
It had been many years since I played Seven Springs (see report on Hidden Valley as well) and I eagerly anticipated playing it again. My annual North vs. South (MD vs PA) event again took place 7 years later at this beautiful 4 season resort. We arrived for a twilight round which was a nice [...]
