Rebel Creek…?

[surette23]

We did anyway.

You know golf courses put signs up for a reason right.

[ARL67]

Before the sign went up, I cut through too.
That signage they put up is very poor IMO -> the sign is pretty small with a small font -> very easy to miss / ignore -> should have been larger overall and more in your face. Agreed with Nathan -> the walk around the front of the club-house is kinda dumb, passing the cart-clean / garage area as well, and traversing a lot of pavement.

MTO also puts up speed limit signs for good reason.

If the club is going to make routing changes, why half *** it? It seems like a very ham fisted, not very well thought out approach to drive food and beverage revenue. If people want to go sit on the patio and have a beer post round, they'll seek it out. Where as now it feels like Disney/Universal where you're forcibly routed through the gift shop at the end of the ride.

Anyone played Rebel Creek this season? Thinking of making the hour drive, have yet to play it.

[rathmore]

I haven't been out there yet. It looks to be in decent shape but you could save yourself 30 mins and just play Craigowan, better course, better conditions.

We usually play Craigowan a few times a year, have never played Rebel Creek and would like to. We will probably give it a try this summer.

I will get there at some point since it's probably the closest course to my home. I'll let you know what it's like when we do eventually play there.

Am a member there. Course is in pretty good shape and the greens roll quite well. Front 9 is less forgiving, and IMO, has a couple holes that I don't like (9 is an abomination). Back 9 is wide open. Variety of tee boxes, with the tips being at 7000 yards.

The range and practice greens are some of the best around for a public course. I would recommend making the drive, it would be worthwhile IMO.

[midlifecrisis]

Are the nines still flipped? When you refer to the 9th hole, presume you mean the 18th (for those of us who haven't played it in a few years)?

[ARL67]

The current #9 is not that difficult (IMO) and quite short.
Get off the tee with whatever ( driver/FW/hybrid ). The second shot can be garbage, as long as it’s in play and you will end up at the bottom of the gulley. I’ve hit thin shots, chunked shots, etc and end up within 115-130 to the pin. Now if one hits a decent Drive followed by a good FW or Hybrid particularly up the left side, you can be on the green, or very near the green in 2. If not, it is a short 3rd shot hole to an uphill blind green and one needs to have some experience with what it looks like up there. Having played Rebel many times, I know what I need to do.

GN courses and conditioning are rarely a problem in spring and early summer. It’s only after excessive play that the greens get abused.

Do many walk the course?

Played on Saturday morning. Even after the rain on Friday the course was in great shape. They have done a lot of work cutting back trees and brush. The greens were rolling quite quick for early morning and only an hour after the rain stopped. I walked it as a single in 2h45mns but I would say most people cart because of 2 good walks up 9 and 18 as well as the walk from 9 to 1 tee.

For reference to London I would say it's no worse of a walk then Thames Valley.

Great, appreciate that!

I just played a tournament there on Sunday. I shot one of my best rounds, finished 2nd place. What a beautiful course, def. worth the drive!
