Old Top Golf Course

I play this course at least 10 times a year — a real mixed bag… here’s the details:
Course Layout: 2 Stars — weird set up (If you’re a guy who can regularly shoot under 100… play the tips) start with a 220yd par 4… an average golfer can drive the green with a 3 wood…3 short par 5’s all under 500 from the tips, easily reachable in 2 — another 260yd par4, and a 95 yard par 3… par 37, 2800 yards… your 18 hole score should be 5 – 10 strokes lower here than on a regular par 72 course.
Course Condition: 2 Star — the place is a cow pasture, fairways like playing on your lawn, gnats later in the year follow you around… hole 6 ALWAYS a swamp, plug your ball IN THE FAIRWAY almost any time of year. Greens the highlight — slow, but in good shape.
Ease/​Pace of play: 4 stars — I walk weekend mornings and am usually off in 3 hours… not usually too crowded — there’ve been days when I’ve played in afternoons and hackers in jorts and t-​shirts will spray one into your fairway, but almost always an under 4 hour round. VERY easy course to walk… really don’t need a cart.
Cost: 3 stars — when I walk on a Sat morning, costs me $ 22 bucks — a cheap price to swing a club for a few hours — BUT brought the wife one afternoon for a relaxing day of sun and whacking the ball around — was @$ 80 for 2 riding… for a couple bucks more could have played Pinecrest or Crystal Woods… real courses — OR could have played Craig Woods for less, and that’s in MUCH better shape. I would never pay for a cart here.
Atmosphere: 5 stars — nice people… the guy who usually lets me in early in the morning always friendly… If you get there too early — have a sign that says «Golf Now, Pay Later» and you pay after your 1^st 9… it is the definition of no frills, (no bar/​food), «Clubhouse» is a tin giant shed, but would be a perfect place to start a beginning golfer off. For me, waking up at the crack of dawn on a weekend, my round here ALWAYS relaxes me and lets me forget about the past week… and gets me home in time to enjoy the rest of my day.
