点评:having served at Ft. Ord in the 80's, this always feels like coming home when we visit. I remember playing both courses for $5 back in the day as we were charged based on rank..... only way the golf was affordable, but I digress....
Ok - I played as a single on a Friday afternoon, and as expected, was paired with a couple of guys from the area - all good there as we got along well, and were playing about the same quality of golf, which sadly would not get us on tour anytime soon, but we were having fun!
I'd love to see the course put greater emphasis on reinforcing to players that fixing pitch marks on the greens, filling their fairway divots, and raking bunkers are all mandatory, but I guess it's too much to ask. we're all wanting to have a great experience, and one way to diminish that experience for others is to not demonstrate proper golf etiquette.... people are people I guess.
despite the lack of care, the course is beautiful, with amazing views, picturesque fairways and greens a challenging layout, and some really, really challenging putting options when you get on the wrong side of the hole. there are several tee boxes so you can play to your index in order to have a good time.
on this given Friday, it was pretty crowded, so the round took just over 5 hours - long day with several waits to hit shots. We actually had the group behind us hit into us three times, despite the obvious scenario that we couldn't go anywhere, and letting them through wouldn't have solved anything. thankfully this didn't turn into a confrontation but again..... can't golfers just behave???
this is a must play if you want a really nice and challenging course, for something less than Pebble or Spyglass costs.
翻译:我80年代曾在奥德堡服役,每次来这里都感觉像回家一样。我记得以前两个球场打球都只花5美元,因为收费是根据级别来定的……唯一能负担得起高尔夫费用的地方,不过我跑题了……
好吧——我周五下午单独打球,不出所料,和几个本地人搭档——我们都很好,相处得很好,打球水平也差不多,可惜短期内我们没法参加巡回赛了,但我们玩得很开心!
我希望球场能更加强调,要强制球员在果岭上打球,修补球道上的草皮,以及耙沙坑,这些都是必须的,但我觉得这个要求有点过分。我们都想拥有美好的体验,而破坏这种体验的一个方法就是不遵守高尔夫礼仪……我想,人嘛,就是人嘛。
尽管缺乏维护,球场依然美丽,景色迷人,球道和果岭风景如画,布局极具挑战性,而且当你走错球洞时,一些推杆选择真的非常具有挑战性。球场设有多个发球区,您可以根据自己的发球指数来打球,享受美好时光。
由于是周五,球场人潮拥挤,所以这一轮比赛耗时超过5个小时——漫长的一天,期间多次等待击球。实际上,我们身后的人撞到了我们三次,尽管我们显然无法前进,让他们通过也无济于事。谢天谢地,这并没有演变成冲突,但话说回来……高尔夫球手就不能规矩点吗?
如果你想要一个真正漂亮且具有挑战性的球场,而且价格比Pebble或Spyglass便宜,那么这里是必打之地。
