| 3/3/2008 | On the way back from Pinehurst we decided to play this much talked about new course between Fredericksburg and Richmond, just 60 miles from the DC beltway. I was expecting a step down from Pinehurst courses, but such was not the case. Sure the trees were barren, after all it was the first week of March. But, Pendleton is frankly one of the nicest new courses anywhere. Every hole is totally different, and some are unlike any you have ever played. Number eight even has a cemetery in the fairway! The sixth green has a shelf in the middle of the green that must be fifteen feet high (imagine putting from one tier to the next!). You’ll find long, long lovely rides from one green to the next tee, with no reminders of Interstate 95 just two miles away. The greens have as much undulation as any greens outside of Augusta National and run about 11 on the stimp. Currently the weekday rate is half that of other high end courses so get down there for the $25 special. The outing rates are excellent as well. Oh, and remember the weather is always a little milder than Balt/DC so enjoy the warmth. Ayce |
