jbeck Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 Ok guys we had a great trip to pinehurst, played a course in Winchester VA on the way down to warm up. then we hit Tobacco Road on Friday Morning, temps were 76 and partly cloudy. this is the view off the first Tee, man is this going to be fun. started with Par, nice way to start. here are some pics as we worked around the course There were tons of blind shots, just trust your yardage and hit over spots on the mounds. This is Joe looking over a bunker shot, only took him 4 to get on the green. LOL this is Joe and I on a par 5 looking up over the sand area. here is a nice 160 yard par 3, not alot of places to miss the green. Add in 30 mph wind in your face and this little par 3 is playing like a beast. this is a look into the green on a par 5 at Tot Hill Farms, the same designer that did Tobacco Road also did this course He used rock here instead of Sand Here is a look at your Tee shot on # 10. Drive it over the rock wall 190 yards away and trust that there is a fairway down there. Here is the last pic, a tight little par 3 with rocks on the left and a crick on the right. This trip was amazing, we played 22 holes on Thursday on the way down, 36 on Friday, 36 on Saturday, and 18 on suday before taking the 8 hr drive home. I played great but the company and hospitality was what really made the trip worth while. Enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO tobacco road is a must do 36, you learn so much on the first round that you can put right back into play on the second. Take a range finder it is a life saver there.
