"Worth playing"

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...

      Personally checked or played (except where noted):

      Verdict Ridge: punched “about 2 weeks ago” – still quite bumpy, along with some bare spots that haven’t responded to the punching

      Olde Sycamore: punched about a month ago, unfortunately divots from poorly repaired ballmarks mar the surfaces significantly – in other words, they look ok, and in general are in good rolling condition, but there are just too many ballmarks so almost any putt is likely to hit a ballmark (or 2)

      Emerald Lake: punched about 10 days ago, still top dressed with a lot of sand, along with other issues certainly not rolling true

      Skybrook: some really nice smooth areas on many greens, but also bare spots and many plugs of (presumably) poa anna, overall not bad

      Highland Creek: very spotty, bare areas galore, one green (#15) gone by report

      Red Bridge: mostly in very good condition, only a few greens with some isolated issues (Red Bridge greens are mini verde per clubhouse); definitely the best greens of all these (except Cleghorn, see below)

      Cleghorn (this from a month ago) – in Rutherfordton, a hike, but perfect Bermuda greens (and fairways), best overall conditions I’ve played in all year (and maybe ever)

      Hope that helps somebody…
