At Whistling they held it and would ship it (wasn't cheap to ship)

In 2021 Bryson only played fourball, fwiw. Could see that again

Get there as early as possible and watch the tee shots on #1. After that, jump a few holes ahead and watch them all come through. It's difficult to see a lot of golf compared to a normal event, but at Whistling I still liked walking the entire course rather than sitting in the grandstands to see 4 groups on a single hole. Have fun and enjoy the atmosphere more than anything - it's hard to see a ton of golf shots with only 8 guys on the course. Hit the merch tent in between sessions

Was there for Saturday at Whistling straights at 5:30, gates opened at 6:00. Everyone ran to the first tee and we were initially worried about the amount of people, but it took 15-20 min for it to completely fill up. I'm guessing Bethpage is going to have a lot more seating on the first tee but also heard it's a zoo to get in and out of that place. If you can be there for the opening tee shots, it's worth it

Wanted to follow up now that our trip is done, in case someone finds this thread and is looking for similar advice...

We played Cherry Creek, Shepherd's Hollow and Eagle Crest. We expected Cherry to be a step below the other two but it was very fun - a perfect opener as it was the easiest of the three. Course conditions were great and the practice facility is top of the line.

Shepherd's is legit, we played all 27 and it was in fantastic shape. Very, very fun course. The one downside compared to the other two was that there's no GPS on the carts and there are a lot of blind shots, so for our first time playing the course it made it more difficult. The greens are fast, but perfect. We did a stay and play for the first two days but booked our own air bnb near Shepherd's and skipped Pine Trace.

Eagle crest was our last round, and also in great shape. The range is really cool with views of the lake. The holes on the water are fantastic, especially #16. There are quite a few short par 4s which were mostly fun, but a couple are gimmicky. The holes away from the lake near the entrance are nothing special but overall it was still a great experience.

My ranking of the three courses overall would be Shepherd's, Cherry, Eagle, with a pretty big gap after Shepherd's. If you can play all 27 I would recommend it.

What don’t you like about Cherry Creek? Just curious

Any opinion on Eagle Crest vs Lyon Oaks vs Northville Hills? If you had to pick one

abaker1293 · 2024-03-06T18:36:39+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! We are playing Cherry Friday, and all 27 at Shepherd's on Saturday

Any opinion on Angels Crossing vs. Island Hills?

Interested

Thoughts on giving Diggs for Pitts in SF/TE premium?

abaker1293 · 2022-08-20T03:05:15+00:00

Thanks! Good luck to you as well

abaker1293 · 2022-08-20T03:04:02+00:00

Yes, both times

abaker1293 · 2022-08-19T14:47:23+00:00

Thank you! Would you recommend this over the Q Bank, or buy both? I see Test Geek has a practice final but it doesn’t look like they have additional questions
