Fircrest has had a rough year. At last playing on the twenty seventh of April there were 4 temporaries. Lots of different stories as to why the greens were almost lost but suffice it to say that it is a shame that they are in such poor condition. I would say half of the greens have serious damage. The removed 360 trees in an effort to get some more light to the golf course.
Canterwood has never been one of my favorites. It is narrow, narrow and narrow. The ninth and 18th holes are very 'unusual'. They have undergone a lot of work to soften the course and, admittedly, I haven't played it since then. The Home Course is very good with excellent views and interesting putting surfaces. They have changed the par three 11th to a par 4 and the 12th has become a part three.
My home course, Oakbrook, has excellent greens and while suffering from several years of tough times it remains interesting. As you look at Google earth Oakbrook is the nearest course you see just to the east of Chambers. About 1 1/2 miles as the crow flies.
Others in the area of interest are McCormick Woods, the Classic (owned by Ryan Moore's father) and Trophy Lake.
