6 definitiion - A very good course, definitely worth a game if you're in town, but not necessarily worth a special trip to see. It shouldn't disappoint you.

Not many true links courses don’t at a minimum at least fit this description.

Welcome to Pleasantville.  The temperature is currently 72 degrees.  The bunkers are groomed and the grass is short and green.

Yes, that's what I meant.

So 72 degrees in late November, but over 80 all summer long.

So how do you think the old dead guys played 18 after breakfast, then 18 after lunch, followed by 18 after dinner? I would suggest they were doing it seaside with Temps from 55 to 70.

How often does Ballyneal have daylong pleasant weather in that range? Perhaps Ballyneal isn't a links, as some might suggest.
