I went to a new course today with 2fast named Swansea Country Club. Unfortuantely they were doing a lot of maintainence, greens were aerated and sanded as well as 9million goose turds in a few of the fairways on the back. Also there are powerlines over the top of a few holes on the back, 1 par 3 at 184 that's smack in my 5iron trajectory.
The good part, it's the longest course around at 6840/126/72.8 and a lot of holes set up for a fade. I had a tough time on those greens on a day I needed my shortgame. There was 1 par 5 at 635, I hit driver-5Wood-6iron on that one. 9 and 18 are pretty tough. Hoping for an easy closer to break 90 I run smack into this dogleg left, uphill approach, 460 yards. That's a friggen PGA tour hole. I hit a cut back off the dogleg and had 225 left in uphill. 9 was almost identicle but a sharper dogleg that turned left deeper. That one was 442 uphill approach.
Also there were 2 par 3's at 229 each. One is a hybrid for me and the other a 5wood. The other par 5's are all reachable at 504, 499 and 519. Oh, and the price. At $31 walking, this course is a steal. Had a good time and will definitely be playing this one again.
