John Conley,
Somerset, as in Somerset Hills, or Somerset, Pa, or some other Somerset, could you provide the specifics ?
The 12th at Somerset Hills is a short par 3 with a slightly tilted green, with no swale.
Somerset as in Somerset. Tips at almost 230, water left of the green, immense ditch in the middle of the green. I don't know why the geocentric New York/New Jersey people don't understand the difference between Somerset Hills and Somerset. (
Second time this has happened, so you aren't the only one.) I caddied once for a guy who got me an undrinkable concoction when I ordered Grape juice & Ginger Ale. Grape, grapefruit - what's the diff?
If you haven't played, Somerset is a great place, club, and golf course. I don't think enough people have seen it or you would see more interest when conversations about Raynor courses come up. Midland Hills and Minnesota Valley are other area courses attributed to Raynor, but neither compares to Somerset.
It is located near St. Paul.
