| 10/10/2006 | Last year was my first trip to Marlton and to be honest I wasn’t expecting much – but I was pleasantly surprised and found an enjoyable course with a fun layout, run by a “make you feel at home” staff. Today Ayce and I went there for an outing and I still feel the same way. On a perfect fall day we were paired up with two others that had run an outing at Marlton previously. They volunteered that the course is quite a bargain for the golf experience it offers (and we agree). The tree lined holes never seen to duplicate themselves. Some are tight, some are open, there are some nice over the water par 3s, and several risk/reward decisions to be made on the par 4s. Is the course perfect? No. There is damage in some fairways and the bunkers could use some work but overall the course is in decent shape and the greens rolled great (remember this is a value play). And, their very good staff ensures that golfers get what they need without getting in the way of play. [Side review: the outing was catered by Grizzly’s Catering – they pulled up a big grill and cooked ribs, chicken and sausage right on the spot. It was all very tasty and the baked beans were incredible. Call them at 301-599-0505 if you need BBQ catering.] As the leaves turn colors, add Marlton to your play list before you tuck away the clubs for the season. Bogeyman |
