I am playing "conley resort" soon. Is it a dog patch?
i can't remember #15 - probably not good memories
On 5 the water runs along the entire right side of the green and there are plenty of large trees to the left. Green is about 75 feet wide so there isn't a lot of room for error either, especially with a longer ironIIRC #5 is that one where you're hitting 170-180 with water short/right, correct?
I'm not sure I've ever hit the green on that one. I got lucky once on 15 and thinned a 5 iron to about 12 feet.
Nice and well maintained; better than sister course Suncrest, though both can suffer from slow play due to St. Barnabas ownership. I'm biased due to shooting a 38 on the front and then throwing my scorecard away midway through the back, but things get weird at the turn. From the white tees #10 is your standard 330ish yard Par 4, except for the massive tree that covers the entirety of the extremely narrow fairway and turns the hole into a nightmare.I am playing "conley resort" soon.

conleys has a special place in my heart - best round ever - 71.I am playing "conley resort" soon. Is it a dog patch?
yeah, seriously, what the ****Especially w waterThere’s a special spot in hell reserved for people who design 200 yard par 3s.
Tell me about it. I did start triple double double so thats never fun.94 without losing a ball is impressive
This is awesome! Thanks for sharing.I've had a beer and calmed myself.
Wow. It's my first PGA course, and it was completely worth the price of admission. The course was tight, but fair, and while I wasn't driving it all that great (spray and pray), shots into the pine straw weren't all that deadly and gave an opportunity to make a play out of.
I birdied the Par 3 4th, the one where the green juts out into the water down the left (beautiful looking hole). Forecaddie gave us 155 to the hole, and since we were at sea level I compensated with a 7 iron. Had about 10 feet and drained it.
The forecaddie was such a great experience. I've had to rely on phone apps for yardage and myself for even attempting to read the greens, but I'll be damned if he didn't help me really manage my putting on those greens, where the grain seriously affects how the ball rolls. I ended with 35 putts on the day, but it would've been so much worse without his help. They recommended a $30 tip to start, but he more than earned what I gave him.
Highlight of the round was 18. A par would break 90. Caddie said "It's the widest fairway on the tour so let it rip." I started feeling some electric energy of some sort and bombed a drive about 260 into the landing area on the left side, and had about 160 in. Pulled a 6 iron and pured it, with a slight fade. I thought I came up short and while waiting for my unlce to hit his 90 yard chip, the caddie told me I was on. I chose to walk my way to the green from there, and to be honest, I got a little teary-eyed thinking about all the history and everyone who's made that walk on 18. I missed my birdie putt just about a foot or so left, and tapped it in for par to shoot an 89.
I'm still feeling the adrenaline just thinking about it or, but I can't say there was anything about today that I did not enjoy. Just a tremendous place to play golf. And a great way to drop $150 in the pro shop after the round (yardage book, hat, shirt, and a glove).
I'm aroused. Congratulations!I've had a beer and calmed myself.

Exactly the question I was going to ask. The only time I golfed with a caddie the whole time (at Chevy Chase Country Club), I was racked with nervousness. Mainly because I sucked, came from a relatively not well off family in Altoona, and suddenly I'm out there with Congressmen and other political dignitaries around me. I was only like 23 at the time.how do forecaddies work? do they carry bags or just sit 250 yards in front of you up until the greens?
Forecaddies are when you have a cart, so they don't have your bag. They'll still guide you around the course and give you tips, and then go up ahead off the tee and help track your ballhow do forecaddies work? do they carry bags or just sit 250 yards in front of you up until the greens?
