A friend and I are taking a golf trip (somewhat now annual) to the North Carolina area in early March.
Last fall I organized the trip and we played 17 courses in 16 days (from Michigan to Oregon, all driving), which included a good mix of public and private. They were: Victoria National, Olympia Fields, The Harvester, Wild Horse, Prairie Dunes, Redlands Mesa, Lakota Canyon Ranch, Bandon Dunes, Pacific Dunes, Bandon Trails, Circling Raven, Old Works, Links of North Dakota, Hawktree, Hazeltine National, Quarry at Giants Ridge and Greywalls.
Anyways, he has organized the trip this year and since I know a number of you live there and have familiarity with the best courses I wanted to know if you had some suggestions on our schedule and where we are playing. Also, we both belong to private courses so if you know of some good private courses that we may want to look at then let me know.
Now our schedule is somewhat limited by money (my friend is still in school, even though we are playing a few courses that are more expensive) and especially by lodging (staying with friends most of the time). So for purposes of input, assume the relative area in which we are staying is fixed.
MARCH 4th, Winston-Salem = Tanglewood Park (Champ.)
MARCH 5th, Winston-Salem = Reynolds Park
MARCH 6th, Southern Pines = Mid Pines & Pine Needles
MARCH 7th, Raleigh = Tobacco Road
MARCH 8th, Raleigh = Kinght's Place Golf Course
MARCH 9th, Raleigh = The Neuse Golf Club
MARCH 10th, Richmond =
Now, I want to play Tanglewood, Mid Pines, Pine Needles and Tobacco Road for sure. The others were selected more based on price by him. I haven't really looked into the trip thoroughly at other options. So any suggestions, I'd appreciate any input?
