Re: Poll C.C. West vs. Rattle Copperhead

These courses were both HUGE disappointments for me. After reading all the chatter I thought these courses would be awesome. Both were okay, but not nearly as nice as many other clublink courses. Sidewinder at Rattlesnake was awesome though.

C.C West more playable, better variety of holes

Re: Poll C.C. West vs. Rattle Copperhead

I will go CC West; had you asked me two years ago it would be Copperhead but as I became more target intense I find Copperhead hard to focus on. I still like Copperhead, but will play CC West much more.
I like CC West a lot, played there today. Great course. Nice lay out.

They are both good courses, differant but good , CC West is short and tight and RS CH is open and longer.

Personally I would rather play CC East.

Those East greens are killer. I've had too many three-putts on them.

I vote (although slightly biased) towards Copperhead. CC West has too many gimicky/goofy holes to get my vote.

Which holes would you classify as "gimicky/goofy"?
Maybe Hole # 11 with the uphill approach but I can't think of any others that fit your definition? I think CC West is a great course - always in excellent great shape , great pace of play, and really fun to play ...

not even close.

Copperhead hands down. In 20 years, Copperhead will be a fantastic course. It's currently good.

Country Club West is weaksauce. I like the East course better.

hmm...how about 5/7/13/15

you could easily complain about 11 as well. although I think it's an amazing view from the tee with that bowl framed by forest on both sides.

East is far better. While the 13th is truly awful, the rest of the East is excellent. 2 and 3 are awesome back to back par 4s
5 is a fun short par 4...straight ahead and drivable, but tough enough to mess you up. Compare the drivable hole on West...7...it's goofy. They hid the green around a corner behind some trees. That's weak. All the par 5s out on East are solid...some reachable and a definite opportunity to make 3, but also tough.

Good-Great holes on West - 2,6,9,10,17
Good-Great holes on East - 2,3,6,7,8,9,12,15,16,17

Re: Poll C.C. West vs. Rattle Copperhead

I'd have to go with C.C. West, mostly because of the shape of the greens. Both courses at Rattlesnake always end up with the greens beaten to hell by the time the summer come around due to the amount of tournaments. I did love the stretch of 15 - 18 on Copperhead, though. I may be a little biased though, as C.C. West was probably my favourite course to play when I was a member and if I were to join Clublink again, I'd probably go with Country Club as my home course.
