Penderbrook played host to our neighborhood pool fundraising event so obviously I had to attend. And on this day I was glad I did! The course was in very nice shape. I was especially impressed with the greens. Penderbrook is an interesting mix of some very nice golf holes and some funky golf holes. Being […]

An Ocean City research trip took me to Glen Riddle’s Man O War track that I’ve enjoyed many times prior. As is the norm, my opinion of this course is that it is a superb course and I really enjoy playing it! I got off to a pretty good start on this beautiful, albeit hot,

Another beautiful spring day found me traveling into Pennsylvania to play Iron Valley Golf Club in Cornwall (near Lebanon) PA. My brother had played there several times and recommended we come give it a look and who am I to disagree with my brother? This course is a hidden gem! Hole #1 is docile looking

Two nights ago we saw the much anticipated debut of Nationals pitching phenom Stephen Strasburg. Rarely (especially in DC) do these occasions live up to the hype (or hope). Well we weren’t disappointed… 7 innings, only 2 runs, no walks, and 14 strikeouts (punching out the last 7 hitters he faced). Two weeks ago we

Whenever someone asks what I think of Westfields, I always reply “It’s one of the best courses in NOVA”. And the funny thing is that whenever I get to play there, I always seem to enjoy the course more each time. Today was no exception. It was hot! We had an 8:40 tee time and

A beautiful spring day took me to back to the Links of Gettysburg and having not played there for several years, I was anxious to give it a look. I’m pleased to say, it has “grown in” and the conditions were nicer than I remember last time. OK so I had a couple of snowmen

Bowling Green North provides one of the most affordable eighteen hole courses in the Front Royal. But this is not a cow pasture by any means either. The course even has an island green par three hole! The sister course is Bowling Green South and is adjacent to the North course. While the South course

Penderbrook Golf Club Fairfax, VA – 5/18/2009 Out for the annual skip over to Penderbrook in hopes that something had changed for the better. The price is still rock bottom (with email specials) and the food is frequently thrown in. But, both the grub and golf are classic “get what you pay for” fare. The

One of the best local golf getaways is Ocean City, Maryland in the spring and fall. An abundance of courses at reasonable prices means golfers have lots of choices for their games. On a mid May trip we ventured over to Ocean Pines, one of our long time favorites. The established community of Ocean Pines

A bonus mid-week round at Woodlands was the play on this windy April day. Unfortunately, the wind took my game away but it didn’t take away the fine challenge of the Woodlands. We played the white tees at a little over 6100 yards. Originally it didn’t seem that long…but did I mention the wind? I
