To many holes looked like other great holes.<br /><br />I am a 6 cap and found myself navigating, checking yardage, making sure I didnt put my ball where NOT to and looking at my yardage book more than I was just playing.<br /><br />Doesnt deserve to be in the top 100but it is a great course for the pros.Marknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20412896.post-91181306180071850662011-11-28T17:44:42.762-08:002011-11-28T17:44:42.762-08:00Not a place to grow bentgrass???

I liked my other ones but still have the Muirfield V ones they put in. Another souvenier, I guess. You and I might have crossed paths at MV. I was there around Aug 12, 2009. Played there, Scioto, The Golf Club, and Scarlet at OSU. Loved them all. Thought Scioto was the hardest, MV the prettiest, and The Golf Club the most unique.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14004201578896626298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20412896.post-26807171759205477182009-11-15T14:27:27.995-08:002009-11-15T14:27:27.995-08:00Well Mr. Top 100 - It seems I almost ran into at M...Well Mr. Top 100 - It seems I almost ran into at Muirfield Village. I was fortunate to play this fine tract in August. Somehow, on this synopsis, I happen to agree with many of your thoughts. Don't ask me how that happened, as I will rarely be on the same page as you (see Fisher's Island and Oakmont comments). <br /><br />Your analysis of the par fives is right on dude! Is number 11 just a great *ucking golf hole or what? Then right back with the Augusta-Rae's creek like 12th? Spectacular.<br /><br />If you thought it was a tough walk - try being from the beach in SoCal and playing this course on a humid August Ohio day. I could have used four shirts, three pairs of boxers, and two showers during my 4.5 hour walk. I am not slow, but this course plays slow - it is beastly and a nasty tough walk.<br /><br />Everybody loves to slam Jack's tracks it seems, however, with this course; I can't say enough good things about it. First off, it is as immaculate as any course anywhere anytime. It is beautiful and scenic, with perhaps the most perfectly pruned forests of trees in the great 48. Also, the turf is heavenly. The softness under your feet is something we don't get enough of in SoCal. No tight lies in Columbus on Jack's course. Great driving range, too.<br /><br />Anyway, I would not quite agree that there are six mediocre holes, although six or so of the holes are mundane by comparison to the others. This is easily the best Jack track I have ever played. I would recommend it to anyone, including all the quasi architects that hate Jack's layouts.<br /><br />The friendliness of the staff (my pal Jake had an incredible PGA internship there this summer) really made my group feel comfortable. The spike thing was unique, and I must say, when they changed mine back after the round -I was impressed. Also, the way they set you up in the locker room, next to all the great Ohio State alum lockers is pretty cool, too. Reminiscent of getting Ronald Reagan's locker at LACC - right Mr. Top 100? <br /><br />One thing I am curious about is how you recalled the hard walk at Muirfield Village reminded you of the tough walk at the Addington. I had no idea you played the Addington? Why not add that to this blog? I know the Addington, and it is better than 80% of the courses on your quest here. Maybe 90%. Your readers should be exposed to what I (and a few others) think is perhaps the most under-rated course on this earth. I still have my pics and lots of great memories from that memorable round if you ever need help with it. If you loved the Addington as much as I did, we can indeed be friends.MacBoubehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02390537064301886763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20412896.post-66118669657852204322009-10-09T08:12:37.674-07:002009-10-09T08:12:37.674-07:00my fav nicklaus course is The Hills in Lakeway Tx....my fav nicklaus course is The Hills in Lakeway Tx.
