Aerial of the Day #410 - 7 Oct 2003

[Scott_Burroughs]

Has this course got your number?  I've heard it's a tough test.

Bunkering looks familiar....

[Scott_Burroughs]

Modern stags' designated architect?

Quadricreek CC?

Haven't been to this state in awhile, since two prominent
designs (one by GCA-participating architect) aren't available.

[Anthony_Nysse]

If I'm on the right track, thins course was going to be a high end public course, but is now private....

[Jimmy Muratt]

The club was also recently purchased by its' members and the name was slightly changed....  Supposedly, one of the best tests in this large metro area....

One of the architect's other designs held the 2003 US Amateur Pub Links championship this year.

Jimmy,

I see you're right.  Ugh.  Stupid rename.  No need to change
it, as the original was simpler and unpretentious.


Is this course twice as good as Two Rivers in Williamsburg, VA?

Located in Ally McTownsville?

Anyone bored enough to pay attention to my posts of my
fave baseball team would get the state correct.

[Scott_Burroughs]

Turtle U. country.

Co-architect is Squeaky-inspired Tour player for which our
esteemed Bob H. hails from the same area.

Real architect "lost in the finals" for Bandon #3, still an honor in it's own right.

upstream from the white house, is this Price's first collaboration in US?

[Scott_Burroughs]

This is The Members Club at Four Streams, in Beallsville, MD,
designed by Steve Smyers and Nick Price.  It was formerly
just "plain ole" Four Streams GC, which is perfectly fine and
unpretentious, but when the members bought the club
recently, they changed the name.

There is an excellent course tour at the club's web site here:
