Blackwolf Run: River vs. Meadow

<< < (2/3) > >>

A_Clay_Man:
A slight correction about the original tenth tee. It is not the River's first, rather it was located on a small hillock that is adjacent to the bridge just to the right as you look from the clubhouse side. The approach shot was the most unique in the game. So unique that it was deemed un something. The old green sat up 34' above the level it sits now and was the flatest green probably ever constructed. A true table top, I mourn it's loss and the flow of the original course.

Ditto what everyone has said. The Meadow Valleys is required if you want to experience Blackwolf Run, and it ain't forgiving. If you could play the tournament course,1-4 and 14-18 of the River and the old 10-18 of MV, you'd see my favorite 18 combo, including the Straits.
There's also this place an hour west.....LAWSONIA, ever hear of it?? I'll be product testing there this weekend.

Shooter,

The Links Course at Lawsonia- William Langford, 1930, restored recently by Ron Forse.  I hear it's a beauty.  Please report back.

I was also contacted today by Kohler and they are, indeed, offering up discounts to play the Straits course.  Very dissapointing  >:(.  I need hard and fast conditions.  I have two rounds booked on the Straits and am considering moving one to the Irish.

Paul Richards:
My best advice is to play the Meadows in the morning and then the River in the afternoon.  Always build up to the crescendo!!! ;)

Mitch Hantman:
What is the problem with the Straits course that they are offering a discount?
