Shinnecock Hills is well worth the download time and a great test of ones ability (IMO of course)

Smokey Hills is another gem worth the download time.

Next up for me... Centennial Country Club Forest Course. Being on dial up yet it takes me awhile, but if this course lives up to it early reviews, it should also be well worth the time.

Just wait until it's twin, the Dunes course is released (shortly). I helped beta test both of them and they are two great courses,

My partner Harvey Bunce and I used to play a lot in the old "Case's Ladder" days. Haven't played since then.

Played up at KR once. Very demanding 9-hole course, playing thru all the deer. Did most of my golf playing out at Table Mountain.

Guys:

I used to live in Folsom a few years back. No Cal has some really good and tough courses. Have either played Dark Horse or The Ridge in Auburn? Both very nice. Miss living there, it is beautiful country and so much to do close by.

Yeah Scott I've played both Dark Horse and The Ridge many times. My son lives in Auburn so when ever I'm up that way I try to play The Ridge..

Seeing how you lived in Folsom you were only a skip and a jump away from my place, I live in Rancho Murieta where we have two championship golf courses as you might know..

never a truer word was spoken. thanks for your post.......i rushed out there and d/l it and was rubbing my hands in glee at an excellant design by Rob Miller.

viewing the Top View cam is worth the price of admission alone ! and the d/l comes with 2 irl fly-by vids !!

the only disappointment was my first round score in a user created event in here :cry: :cry:

that US Open rough.......OUCH !

love the look from the 9th T and that clubhouse

:D

JV:

I have played Rancho, as somebody I did business with lived on the private course there (are there two now?). Coming back to Sac this summer for a friend's B-Day and plan to play a few rounds at various places around Sac. Was at Spanish Bay in January to hook up with some old CA friends and we played Spyglass and Links at Spanish Bay. Always a good time. It would be nice to see somebody design the Links at Spanish for LSPN, since all the other courses are available.

Yeah we have two courses now Scott, they are separated by the Consumes River. One is called RM North and the other is called RM South. The North course was redesigned by Arnold Palmer so it's a little different layout then when you played it and somewhat harder.

It was redone about 15 years ago to accommodate the Senior Pros when they played the Senior Gold Rush here, now it's considered a championship course where by the South Course while still considered a championship layout, is a lot more member friendly.

I guess you know where most of us play now, although I still play the North on occasions I play most of the time on the South. If you ever get up this way again give me a holler and I'll see what I can do to get us a game..

Will do...appreciate it! What level do you shoot here Ammy, Pro, Champ? I'll look for you in a tourney. I usually play Champ but still enjoy a fun round of Ammy too.
