Your home club--where is it?

Mike - I have not seen a view of Mosholu GOlf Course in 35 years. That looks like the old 410 yard fourth hole of the old 18 hole layout.

Your son has great extension through the ball and he turns into his left side really well. You sure he's your kid?

Did you get the architect of your second home course right?

Newbie to this site

I play three old Robert Foulis courses in St. L

Ruth Park 1931 9 holes
Normandie Park 1903
both relatively unchanged in design I think since their inceptions

and
Forest Park 1913 mostly redesigned by Hale Irwin Group 2003-04

I'm a member of the Glencoe Golf and Country Club, Calgary, Alberta, a 36 hole facility (Glen Forest and Glen Meadows) both designed by Robert Trent Jones, Jr.

For those that can't relate, here is the primary form of transporatation to Mosholu as seen from the first tee.

brother sweeney -
on an alternate site i did find "best courses with public transportation access" - which most here probably wouldn't relate to - but like riding a harley i can only tell them - if i have to explain you wouldn't understand
the closetest to "mass" appeal i saw was the us open in chicago - where the media went out of their way to explain the course location was selected in part to take advantage of the crowds from downtown chicago by train
keep in mind pine valley was "located" by the train riding phila to atlantic city golfers and darwin relates to an aberdovey holiday taken by rail
i wouldn't expect this to have any "appeal" to the typical cartballer today

Any west coast representation?

Musgrove Mill GC
Clinton, SC
Palmer/Seay (Ken Tomlinson did most of the on site work).

Great membership, tough course, no houses to be seen anywhere, no tennis courts or pool, just pure hard golf. Let me know when you are in the area.

Anthem Golf Club
Anthem, Arizona
36 holes, both designed by Greg Nash.
The second course opens on January 2nd and looks to be better than the first, which I consider to be very good.

Not a member anywhere, too rebellious.

I contribute more golf balls to the ponds at Robert Trent Jones Jr.'s Heron Lakes than anywhere else. Located in Portland, Oregon, it is a 36 hole public complex. The Green Back is slightly easier while the Great Blue has been known to swallow up ten balls per round.

Formerly a member at Commonwealth National(Seay/Larsen/Palmer) in Horsham, PA. Currently a social member(6rounds per year) at Talamore( who knows?) in Ambler, PA by virtue of my home ownership there and everyone's guest/golf course adventurer.

Flourtown Country Club (outside Philadelphia).
More like a corner bar with 9 holes out back. The stories I could tell.

It was the site of the original Sunnybrook GC designed by Donald Ross. Mutated in the 50's due to the building of PA Route 309 by I don't know who. However, Tom Fazio redesigned and rebuilt the 8th green.

Currently negotiating with my wife to maintain this membership along with the full golf privileges I just received at Sandy Run CC.

Two very different golf courses which stress different parts of the game, I think.

Hop Meadow CC, Geoffrey Cornish, 1961
Pawleys Plantation G&CC, Jack Nicklaus, 1988

Currently Golden Horseshoe. It's a resort course that has a membership. I play about 90 percent of my home rounds on the Gold Course (RTJ 1963) and every now and then I'll wander over to the Green Course. I never seem to tire of the Gold Course.

Orchard Hills
Washougal, WA
George Junor front 9 (perhaps best known for Astoria CC)
I think the back 9 is by someone named Fuller. I will have to look it up later.

(1) Greystone G & CC, Birmingham AL. Two courses (Cupp, 1991; R. Jones, 2001).
(2) Farmington CC, Charlottesville VA (Fred Findlay, app. 1930).

Home course on Sunday afternoons is Woodward CC, Bham, which I play with a buddy from our church choir. Originally laid out as a three hole course around 1905 by the Scottish foreman of the Woodward Iron Company; either the oldest or second oldest (I believe) course (in that sense) in Alabama. Charlie Hall design from 1917, with a redo I think in the early 80's. Little bermuda greens, great fun.

(I didn't make that up it's what it says on the Scoresaver. As far as I can discover there isn’t a shred of real evidence to prove it's by that fictitious Architect.
