Dear Kent,I could not have said it better myself. Keep those guys coming from Durham!
Hi Mike,I am so glad you had a great time. You described the experience we try and provide to our guests. I can only assume the "dream come true" part would have been to break par? I hope to see you soon. Hit em straight!Joe
Dear Remsen62,We are glad you had a great experience and thank you for the generous review. We believe that our golf course architect did a masterful job of bringing out that "unparalleled scenery" that you speak of and we are fortunate to look at it every day.I am concerned that you may not have gotten the "official" yardage guide because the one we sell in the shop is produced by Best Approach and is definitely in color. Please contact me and I'll make sure you get the one we sell. Better yet, all of the readers of this review can go to their app store on their phone and download the free Tobacco Road app. Just do a search for Tobacco Road and a free app will pop up from Best Approach that has 1. The yardage guide 2. A cool flyover tour of the course and 3. a GPS component that tells you distance to the front, center and back of each green.Thanks again for the review and please travel down Tobacco Road again someday.Joe
Dear Mad155, We are grateful that you had a fun time and found the course in great shape. The BBQ sandwich is my favorite but make sure you get plenty of slaw on it. After all, Tobacco Road is a little south of that Mason-Dixon line:)
Dear Radar,I'm glad Tobacco Road was a challenge that you couldn't pass up. I liked your review title of "bring balls" but I think you'll agree that if you lose one you can always look for it. Although you may not find your original, many times you'll find a replacement. We call that our loaner program:)Please come back to see us again,Joe
Dear Golfbd25,I played four days after you did and couldn't agree more. Since I work here, I typically respond to other people's experiences. In this case, I read your comments and then played on Sunday the 28th and had the same experience you did. I hit two marginal shots on 14 and 16 where the greens didn't allow me to get away with them. The rest of the round, I was rewarded more times than not when I hit a solid ball. I will add that if you get the putt on line, it is going in. Tobacco Road's greens roll better than anything I have played in recent memory. Thanks for sharing your experience and we look forward to your return.Joe
Dear Mr. Price, Your post is very flattering and I think the late Mike Strantz would have agreed with many of your Top 5. Mike was inspired by Royal County Down when he studied golf course architecture overseas and some of the design elements of that great course in Northern Ireland show up in his work. We look forward to your visits in the future.
Dear Mr. Freeman,I'm thankful that your group had an "awesome" experience; even those that didn't play so well.
Dear Dain L,Being a relatively short course, we were a little unsure that a 5th set of tees was warranted but one of our player assistants was very adamant on the idea. We are very thankful that he was. I hope there will be a "3rd, 4th and 5th+ time around" as well!Thanks for the kind words!
Dear Suzy Q, Thank you for taking the time to post a review. I'll take "interesting" over "boring" any day of the week. I'm glad you found the course more playable the second go around minus the 9th. I, too, have trouble with the 9th hole which is the number 1 handicap hole. Please continue to play us when you're in the area. I think Tobacco Road will continue to grow on you each and every time you play it.
