DOn't really have a "Home Course" as the course in my home town is terrible. The owners have severly let the course go as well as equipment (Carts etc..) So I refuse to play there any longer.

The course I prefer right now (only about a 20 minute drive) Is Rock Harbor in Winchester Va. They have 2 courses, The Rock and The Boulder course.

Virtual Tour-The Rock
Virtual Tour- Boulder

Playing in a best ball tourney there today(Rock Course -1 of 3 charity tourneys left for the year)

I also play at most courses in the tri-state area.

Since I usually play solo, I am usually at Fun City Golf Course in Grand Prairie, Texas. It's a 17 hole par 3 course that needs some love but is a wonderful course for $12. Now that I have found employment, I'll probably be visiting less often. I've played a couple of rounds at Lake Arlington and Tierra Verde in Mansfield, Texas. However, since I fly solo, these courses frown upon me walking the course alone.

I belong to Thornapple Pointe. The 613 yard Par 5 Monster...From the Whites. It runs along the river to the right and knee high thesque on the left. And a 40 foot tall Tree Ent looking tree guarding the right side of the fairway on your second shot. Its a round killer. Your knees are shaking and your belly achin when you step up to that tee. Its so easy to get an 8 on that hole and destroy your round. I've had some birdie attempts on it, but never made one. 1 of only 2 holes on the course I have never birdied. The other being #17. Its 424 yards and usually into the wind with bunkers guarding most of the green. I usually play the Blues or Blacks at most courses, but I play the whites here. 6544 is long enough as most holes are fairly straight no big dog legs where you can cut off distance. Love this course. My best round was a 74 on it this year. I usually shoot between 79 and 84.

My most frequented course is a nine hole, par 35 muni called gullhaven. It's a bit on the short side with most of the par fours coming in around 300, but it's perfect for the price (11 bucks after 3 and 14 before that). We are there once a week.

The other day on that same week we will alternate between at least six other courses all within 20 miles of my house. Price is usually decides the location. This summer, I worked out east at a place called cherry creek in river head, long island. It was a nice links course on one 18 and a wooded course on the other. Free golf for two months....we played the hell out of it.

My favorite course though, is spring lake golf course in coram, new York. Its got a great nine hole and a really fun 18. Plus, it's about fifteen minutes from my house and five from my brothers.

Last summer we were shooting in the 60s at all these courses and this yeAr we've been averaging in the mid to late 40s (on nine of course). Last summer our best 18 was 112. This summer it was an 84(on a par 65) and a 93 (on a par 72). We average around a 95-105 now.....

It's been a little over a year, but we are addicts!
