For those lucky people who are still playing - worldwide - what is your home course? Yardage from whatever Tees you play? Cost to play? Scorecard/Link if you have it.

Me: Pendleton Golf Club (a links-style land-bound course in central Virginia, USA), (at age 78) Red Tees 4525 yds, $40.

Anyone else? :D

Haven't played golf IRL for about 7 years now due to knee arthritis and pain. Got the left knee replaced and hopefully getting the right one replaced next month. I'll give IRL golf a go then. My home courses were the Torrey Pines courses.

Crane Creek Reserve Golf Course was my home course for years. A city owned golf course. Short even from the back tees. Summer rates are $33 and in winter $40. (Those darn Sownbirds) Had a membership for 2 years where I played just over 100 rounds a year. I haven't played in about a year and a half. Back in 2007 I had back fusion on L4 and L5 just like Tiger did. Have played after that but my back get real sore for a week or so after. Brother from Vir. coming down in late May and will play then. Got to get out and hit balls a few times before then. Have a lot of nice courses in my area that are a lot better.

Nice looking course, Rick! On the other side of the country at Pendleton GC they have what they call a 6-pack card - 6 rounds for $270. Good times for retired golfers!
