Gents,
I have heard rumblings that Kingsley is in great shape right now and is really playing fast and firm
. I was told its in "Muirfield" condition which has me drooling
can anyone confirm this? A buddy and I are going over to play Arcadia soon so we may try to sneak over to Kingsley and check it out for ourselves
My favorite holes at Kingsley are as follows......hopefully I got them right as I have only played there once.
# 1 - the best opening hole that I have ever played - Par 5 with a huge set of bunkers in the middle of the fairway. You will s*** yourself on the tee box and I may have as I was so "jacked" to play KC. The green complex was outstanding and when I played the pin was low so you could use the slope to bring the ball back. From what I hear the only hole in the state that rivals KC # 1 is Greywalls # 1 which I have been told by many that its better.
#5 elevated par 3 with a slanted green that allows you to funnel the ball depending on hole location. Pin was on right side when I played and I yanked one left and figured I was way left. My host just smiled and said "wait". After 5 seconds I saw my ball rolling towards the pin . That's the best feeling in the world
# 12 elevated par 4 that allows you to let the big dog eat. Just an amazing view of the entire hole. On my approach shot my host suggested I aim for the left mound next to the green and let my ball funnel towards the pin. Great hole
#13 probably the best par 4 on the planet. Big hitters can reach the green and pin location determines what te of a putt you will have. If I remember right it's a very unique green complex.
Last but not least......whatever hole has the "Bottle" to sip off. 18?
