Oh, a smart guy.... :p

Oh, a smart guy.... :p

Apologies, couldn't resist....although from what I remember, the first is an elevated tee shot whereby you DO have to carry some clag, so it's not bad advice :$

only played it once and that was a couple of years ago and to be honest there are only a couple of holes that still stand out.

I played the course a couple of weeks back and it was in excellent condition. A recent bunker restoration is now completed. Lots of elevated tees including my personal favourites the Par 5 15th and the par 4 18th. Enjoy your round this is one excellent and highly underrated golf course.

Thanks guys, playing later this week....if I dribble my tee shot on one I'm hunting MP37 down. :rofl:

In which case you can come duel me at The Summit :)

I worked there one summer about 15 years ago, so my memory is a bit faded. Essentially it is a straight forward course. Not really long, and if you hit it straight pretty straight forward. Where you will get into trouble is trying to be a hero, particularily on 18. You can drive the green, but there is trouble all over the place. THe 1st hole too is a huge elevation and is a somewhat blind tee shot.

Good greens of course.....it's a Stanley Thompson, and some tricky dog legs on the back. I would think scoring will be farily low here as it does present scoring opportunities on many holes. You will enjoy the course though.

Sadly my round has been bumped to a later date.... :mad:

the first hole?...a blind tee shot?...really?

I've played there many times and I can most definitely say that it is NOT a blind tee-shot.

Agreed, but in a sense you cannot see a lot of the rubbish that is just off the front of the first tee due to the elevation - at least that's what I recall from the receding brain cells :)

Sadly my round has been bumped to a later date.... :mad:

ahhhhh the agony of it.......and the weather this week is perfect for golf. Played 36 holes round the Summit yesterday - 18 in the morning with my Father-In-Law (here for a few weeks from England) and then we were joined in the afternoon for another 18 by my 10 year old.

Sadly I lost 5&4 to my 10 year old :$

At least I saved some face by beating my father-in-law. :)
