Forgot Cathedral Lodge which requires a couple hour winding tour of Aussie 2 lane roads to arrive at outside Melbourne. Norman design and if he rerouted a couple extreme holes it would complete a great golf experience.

Sorry for the readability but this 2003 article tells the story of Twisted Gun.

Clark Glasson's hidden beauty . . . . . Fall River Valley GC.

Just take 299 out of Redding past Burney, go another 15 miles past Hat Creek and you're there.

Excellent and well worth a special trip.

Pre-GPS/Nav systems, Yale was similar to SFGC in that it’s in a densely populated urban area; easy to get close to but not easy to find the actual entrance.

Many thanks to David. How could I forget wonderful Macrihanish (a tough 210-minute drive from Glasgow, although in my defence it is barely an hour by 'plane). Finding deeply hidden UK courses like Woking and Little Aston is no longer the extreme challenge it was in pre Sat Nav days!

I second the difficulty of finding PV the first time . . . . cross the Whitman Bridge and into the mysterious bowels of central Jersey.


You're getting warm if you see a waterpark, but if you get to Diggerland, you've gone too far.


There is a turn, but it is not really marked - and at the end of a woodsy road, you'll see a gate, except there is not really a sign.


I was so lost the first time, thought I must be in Delaware - rolled down the window to ask this guy at what looked like the entrance to a county campsite . . . . . . and Open Sesame.




*That* is the entrance to might Pine Valley?




Absent a GPS, better leave breadcrumbs if you ever want to find 676 to City Center again.
