| 4/6/2003 | The intrepid Waggle.com Team went down to the “Northern Neck” of Virginia to play a round with our buddies from Tee Times Golf Pass. Although we still haven’t figured out why they call it the northern neck, we can tell you this area is very scenic, peaceful and in the middle of nowhere! It isn’t anything like the hustle bustle of DC, Baltimore, or even Frederick, but if you’re looking for a classic track where you won’t be bothered and just want to get away, try this course. Golden Eagle offers a classic layout with tight fairways lined with tall pines and quick greens. The rolling course has plenty of sand and several water carries. We rate this course high on the “fun” scale and medium on the “difficult” scale. We played the white tees – but only because it’s early in the year and we didn’t really have our “A” game yet – and with yardage slightly over 6000 and a 124 slope, we still were challenged. The condition was very good to excellent with only a few spots in the fairways needing some attention, however all in all it ranks up there with the other upscale courses you’ll play. Take a trip to the northern neck and try Golden Eagle. Lefty/Bogeyman |
