I'm playing Shadow Glen

[TyWebb]

for the first time on Saturday. For anyone that's played it, what type of course is it? Open? Trees? Fast greens?

it's like putt-putt on steroids.

lots of trees, and they'll be right in front of the green. Some holes are fairly open, though.

it's like putting in a wal-mart parking lot.

Sounds great.. Thanks for the info guys

it's got some really quirky holes. All in all I enjoy the course relative to it's price. The greens are ok, nothing special.

Some holes are treeless with bunkers along fairways and others have trees to avoid that come out into the fairway or "guard" the green.

There are some risk/reward holes tht can be interesting.

again, enjoyable for the price (assuming you are using Golf512)

I really like the course. It is pretty hard, requiring precision on most approaches. It is generally in good condition, with speedy, contoured greens. Some tips:

HOLE 1: Pretty open fairway, I try to hit as long a drive as possible, b/c the green is surrounded by a dry ditch and trees, so I like having a wedge in.

HOLE 2: Long tough par 4. The right edge of the fwy bunker is the ideal line.

HOLE 3: Play this as a 3 shotter. Anything short or left or long of the green is FUBAR.

HOLE 4: Go up and check the landing area. I generally aim for what would be the right-center of the green.

HOLE 5: If you miss right, it will generally kick to the green.

HOLE 7: A big *****. They have mowed out some of the disaster areas, but play for targets, don't just wail away with a 3 wood.

HOLE 11: Tough hole if you can't fly the traps. Better though to be 200 out in fairway than in the bunker, don't get greedy.

HOLE 12: Careful, you can go through the fairway if you are too scared of the water. I hit 3 wood a lot here.

HOLE 13: Lay up your 2nd to 110 yards out to avoid the ditch in front.

HOLE 14: If you can fly the fwy bunker, can get on or very close to the green.

HOLE 15: Plays long, take enough club.

HOLE 16: Hate this ******* hole. Very tough to position for the 2nd shot without daring trouble.

HOLE 18: Cut the leg, easy to get there in 2. The ditch is far enough short of the green that it shouldn't come into play.

Good luck, have fun!
