On 27 holes, Total of 6 over. 8 bogeys 2 birdies. About par for the course,
Here's the scorecard... Paa-Ko Ridge Golf Club
It's a very long and difficult course. Totally 11,404 Yards for 27 holes. For eighteen it's around 7,500, and the "extra" nine is 3,842. So for those who think that distance is mostly what matters, here's your validation. 500 yard par 4s and 600 yard 5s. 137 slope. Par 75.2
My longest drive was about 330 downhill on number 27. Set me up really well, especially since it's a 500 par 4. My best shot of the day was about a 20 yarder.
I missed way right of the green due to not letting my hands keep up (dumb me), and was facing a fun lie. The ball was lying well on the grass, but the pin was 3 paces in from the right side of the green. Worse, the greens were hard and fast. Worse, a bunker was in my way. Worse, I was on a downhill slope. I hit it exactly how I want it, with one of my favorite shots, the short-fade shot. It hits on the green, rolls up, and plop. Birdie. Couldn't believe it, some of the maintenance saw and clapped and laughed.
Personally, I loved it. My mom paid for it as a treat since she's heading back to school and wanted to see me play again. Any questions I'll be glad to answer, and look at the pics of the course on that website if you've any question whether it's tight.
Oh yeah, for all those who say you have to take a cart. I walked, all 27, and you get up to 200 yards (maybe more) between some holes. Pace of play was on the spot too, 6 hours for all 27.
