No way. This area is littered with all types of courses. I have some that favor bombers and plenty that don't. Plus I have connections and I can get the ninja on courses that are second to none. And he'd be a wicked scramble partner.

tapatalk: even available for lefties!

I have found good golf courses all over the country (except Alaska) with some really good deals. Some of the western states require some long drives between courses though. Oh yeah, I have found some not so good courses in a lot of states including Florida as well. I like a several courses in Florida a lot but most of my favorites are scattered all around the country.

Maybe you could find some better courses within a couple of hours of your location then get your golf fix several times a year that way along with the occasional trip south thrown in. Also, the northeast is a good golf area, lots of wonderful courses in a relatively small area but everything, including golf, is more expensive there.

Bottom line: You don't have to go to Florida to find a good golf course, except maybe in the winter.

The number and variety of golf courses in this nation is amazing. I'm betting there is a good course in Alaska as well and will let you know next year about this time.

So recently I was fortunate enough to play in the Morgan Cup at Reunion Resort and a practice round at Grand Cypress. Playing these layouts made me realize what golf was supposed to be about. Reunion while not overly challenging was a great layout with plenty of bunker hazards (Only gripe being lack of water.) and "native" bushes that like to swallow your ball. Grand Cypress is just a beast. Amazing design with some serious trouble everywhere.

So now I'm back in Iowa and realize the amount of money I pay to play total crap. It's rather depressing honestly. The only fear around here is the 10 yard wide fairways lined with 200 year old trees. If you drive the ball well you will score well. The only course even remotely well designed around here is a Private CC and a TPC course that wants 85$ a round. Something I refuse to pay and quite frankly couldn't even afford. Once again there is no water even in play, other than the river on one par 3 and a lake on 18.

I really don't even have a point to this post other than I really don't understand why I pay 40$ a round to play total crap. LAst time I had played in Florida I was 16 and forgot what a good course was like.

Now I am left wanting. I apologize for my long winded cryfest but it's really bothering me. Just another reason to leave this god awful area.

Apologies again as this post really has no point, I just needed to get it off my chest.

Plus in FL the greens are roughly twice the size making GIR stats for a Floridian a little suspicious

I swear a GIR up here in New England oughta count for double with the postage stamps we play to.

My home course has water in play on 17/18 holes. I'll trade you that for smaller greens...LOL.
