I love the course. Very, very tough in the (constant) afternoon wind that blows 12 - 20 just about every day....

All-male club.  Used to host US Qualifier until USGA became politically correct.  Very laid back.  No tee times.  No events other than Spring Day, Club Championship and Fall Day so never have to worry about access.  Great place.

I am only recently getting time to post here so sorry for the delay.
I have been a member at Point Grey G&CC in Vancouver, BC, since Bill McBride was in grade school. Very good private course. Friendly membership, not designed  by a revered architect but with contributions from many over the years, has resulted in a very good, competitive golf course. Great memories as a kid down there. Many memories of early hours on the course as a kid with the swallows diving all around me soon after sunrise.

Also have been a member at Sagebrush for the last 3 years. Hopefully that time can be extended but that may be dreaming. Never have I enjoyed golfers, especially GCAers, any more than I have at Sagebrush. Those who were at KP last weekend and others who have been there will know what I am talking about. If hitting a long approach into a green, having your ball disappear then appear again and roll up to and past the hole, all over the better part of a minute, is what you are into, you would love the place. Also, I have never seen greens roll as well as those at Sagebrush. I cannot recall seeing any putt bounce off line. If any of you want to come and can do so, this will likely be my last summer as a member so get in touch if you are interested. \

Finally, I am a member at Predator Ridge, with two good courses, the Predator Course by Les Furber and the Ridge Course by Doug Carrick. Resort golf but good golf in a great setting.

Until about six years ago my aunt and uncle owned a vineyard in Murrieta; they sold the grapes to local wineries.  Never played golf around there, but it was certainly windy.

Bretwood East Surry Road Keene, NH

Live a mile from the course. Have played there since it opened in '68.

Geoff Cornish designed original 18--course now has 37 holes. Hugh Barrett designed the other 19 holes(one bye hole). Hugh is a longtime friend of mine and is the father of Chelso Barrett who was runnerup to Jordan Spieth at the USGA Junior at Gold Mountain a few years back . Chelso has a full scholarship to TCU starting in the fall.

One of the best public golf facilities on the East coast, it's family owned and run by the Barrett family. The head pro is a Barrett, so is the Super, food and beverage is run by a Barrett. Four generations of Barretts work at the course.

If you are in the area and looking for a game, give me a shout.
