Your Last Ten

[Jeff Shelman]

Was searching for something earlier today and again came across this thread. Since we're well into the summer, I thought I would bring it back to the top and see if anybody has played some interesting places.

Here are my last 10 (from oldest to newest)

North Oaks Golf Club, North Oaks, MN
Hillcrest Golf Club of St. Paul, St. Paul, MN
Stillwater Country Club, Stillwater, MN
Blackberry Ridge Golf Club, Sartell, MN
Somerby Golf Club, Byron, MN
White Bear Yacht Club, White Bear Lake, MN
Brackett’s Crossing Country Club, Lakeville, MN
Northfield Golf Club, Northfield, MN
Southview Country Club, West St. Paul, MN
New Richmond Golf Club, New Richmond, WI

One awesome course on the list, lots of solid courses, one average course, zero truly bad courses. Can't complain about that.

When you vacation in Northern Maine...you do what you have to do to feed the beast.

I see another Va-Jo-Wa go-round for me Labor Day weekend!  The hardest 70.4-rated, 6100-yard golf course on the planet.

[Ronald Montesano]

First we had Dor-Al, now Va-Jo-Wa...I sense a trend shift in course naming.

[Ronald Montesano]

Judging by the legend of your pace of play, don't you mean "been a great 10 hours" to cover those ten courses?

[Jeff Shelman]

Ronald, it sounds like you would love this place then (haven't played, but have driven past it).
