My latest was the Alondra long course @ super-twilight.
Only got through 13 holes & scored a 60.
Would have been nice to see what my score was had I finished.

I have no idea what I ended up with at Heartwell, and my last round before that was a month ago at Aliso Viejo where I posted a totally out of whack 71. It helps to play a course where you can drive several of the par-4's...
Just flew back from Montgomery, AL.
Played a round at a Robert Trent Jones desgin course at Capitol Hill. They have 3 courses. We played the Judge. here is link to a 360 of hole #1.

We tee'd offf at 8:00am and it was 100 degrees by 12pm.
The Judge yardage is 7794. The 10th hole par 5 is 711 yards from the back tee's, which we played!!!
So, in the heat and humidity, playing a long ass course, no golf shoes and not having my own clubs, I shot 98 and my brother-in-law shot a 96. I fudge on the final hole taking a double bogey while he shot a par 4 for the win!

Damn, B-Mel, 7800 yards is a lot of driver! That's hard to get used to with rental clubs. Very respectable!
Longest fricken course I have ever played. They played the Nationwide Tour Championship there last year on the Sentator Course. It's just slightly shorter that the Judge. All three courses there are Brutal!!!!Originally Posted by Mr. Teeny
I got the pro shop to let me demo a Callaway 460. At least I was able to get it out there, then I would 2 put just about every hole!!
I like long courses because generally they'll cut down on the stupid gimmicky par 4's and 5's and let you hit driver off the tee (there's nothing I hate more than being forced to hit 8-iron or less off a par 4 tee, or 4-iron or less off a par 5).
However... 7800 yds is about 500 yds longer than anything I've played, and unless there are some severe elevation changes or you're playing at altitude, that's a butt load of yardage to tack onto an already long course!
Still would be kind of fun... except for the 711 yd hole. I like at least being fooled into thinking I could reach a par 5 in two...
Shot +18 at River View in Orange (or Santa Ana, I forget). However I am not good and have only been playing for a few years. I would like to play more often to get my game better but time is not something I have a lot of.
Considering I didn't have one decent drive to shoot bogey golf isn't that bad for me. Usually my drives and irons are solid and I am 3 putting every hole. That day I couldn't hit the fairway off the tee but it was only 1 or 2 puts per green.
