Grove Park Inn

[Anthony Gray]

  A awesome golf/spa gettaway. Park with Ross redo course is short but sweet. 50,000 sq foot spa secound to none.

Due to the absence of bright orange, we know you didn't play golf. One must only assume that you spent quality time with the pedicurist.

Anthony-Is the one photo to show off the woman in red or to preview future Dixie Cup outfits?

P.S. Given her offspring, I do not begrudge Mom the occasional drink. In fact, if I ever meet her, I'll buy her a round.

  Bill,

   That is Bill McBride and Brent Hutto standing beside the woman in red. MOM's all for a free drink...you ought to see her on the dance floor.

And if you can't tell from the photo, I was catching a nasty draft up-kilt at the moment. When the doors on both sides of the Great Hall are open, the breeze can get quite brisk. Talk about "shrinkage", ye gods!

Here is an old thread on this course.

Looks a little Chilly!! I played there last year for a certain GCAers wedding, it was a fun little course. I hit the ball pretty well so that made it much more fun, but there is some pretty good stuff out there. I did not take any pics, the hotel and spa did look very nice we did not stay there though.

Did you really play with ice in the fountain and snow on the ground? You're a real hard ass.

F. Scott Fitzgerald (the Great Gatsby himself) used to stay at the Grove Park often.

As Noser mentioned, Grove Park was the site of my wedding golf outing. Great course for an occasion like that...beautiful setting, not overly difficult.
 
Goofy 18th hole, though.

Played Grove Park Inn last week, so I thought I would post a few pictures.  Two quick things:

I loved the signs on the course.  Lots of little tidbits of info.  The best ones, however, where the ones that let you know that if you hit your tee shot OB, there may be kids playing there!  As if I weren't nervous enough trying to hit a tee shot that requires a 205 yard into the wind carry over water and OB right, now I have to be sure not kill a kid!

The second thing I noticed was that the yardages of many holes were plain wrong. My skycaddie had the yardage on many holes as being 50ish yards shorter than on the scorecard. I then checked the yardages on Google Earth and it confirmed that the scorecard yardages are wrong.  Does anybody have anybody information on this?  I have never encountered this before.

Anyway, here are a few more photos:

By the way,  Anthony taught John Mayhugh everything he knows about taking pictures of signs.

Anthony,

You must have had quite an impact on the folks in Asheville as it seems they have altered one of their plaques at the Grove Park Inn to commemorate your visit:

"There is no such thing as a misplaced bunker."

But what would Ross say about the cart path boulevards running through the course?
