3/21/23: Review by B-Man

Got out to Springfield as I make my rounds for the updated Top 10 list (coming in May). This course has never left a great impression on me but I tried again to see if I could come to appreciate it. I made some strides in that direction, but a few things keep this course...

  I wouldn’t give the Carolina Trail a cent after this:

  Great, now the course will be in sh*t condition because there will be no-one around to look after it…oh wait…conditions were sh*t anyway

  The place has been a dump for a while. Sad they charge $65 for golf on the weekends and $8 for a damn hot dog. The Carolina Trail’s parent company in Atlanta went bankrupt. Skybrook and Highland Creek are crap too.

  Skybrook, Highland Creek, etc. were in great shape a few years back. It’s unrealistic to expect the course to maintain perfect conditions when everyone is looking for a discount. Takes $$$ to operate. The same will happen in a few years to other courses if they continue discounting.

  So I should probably use my rain check from The Divide sometime soon I guess. Who knows if the other Carolina Trail courses will be next.
