Sorry, no ties, it's only tough if you play an assload of courses.

you need to check out white bank in colonial heights, I has been called a mix of bryan and dorey, and I do my best to keep it in order. Also like that you have played emery and henry, way to make the drive.

I love Emory and Henry. I could be quite content to play it every day. But Bryan wins out because of the amenities it has.

I have been thinking about white park ( I think its called pharaohs tomb also) I just have not made the trip yet. But I will place it on the agenda for my next trip.

 

[NovaDiscHead]

Disc Dog, have you made the trip up to Giles Run? It's awesome!

Not yet. My next road trip is to do the all 3 at the Grange and then Loriella. But I looked at the Giles pages and will have to add it.

This thread is interesting because it does not match the overall ratings. This intrigues me.

 

[BrotherDave]

i'm hitting the road at the end of the month to finish off NJ, CT, and RI and pick up a couple more NY, and PA courses so those might change. As it stand now i've finished DE, VA, and all but one course in MD so totally feel qualified to speak on them, but again it's bias to the players likes and what they have played. If your looking for other criteria then the lists might change a bit. So my list

CA - Morley Field
CT - Cranbury Park
DE - Brandywine Creek State Park
FL - Gordon Barnett Park - Parkside
MD - Darnestown Swim & Racquet Club
NJ - South Vineland Park
NY - Prospect Park
NC - Kentwood
VA - Pharaoh's Tomb @ White Bank Park

After writing that I sure need to play more in some states. This thread will really show everyones personal tastes.

Your favorite course in NC is Kentwood? Interesting. I've only played in 2 states so far, my own, and only one in VA. When you live in the NC Piedmont it's kind of hard to go farther South than Charlotte, West than Richmond Hill, and North of Raleigh due to all the quality represented.
But,

VA - Danville #1 (Probably not my fave if I played other courses in VA)
NC - Castle Hayne

I've only played three in NC. PA and NC are my next targets for new courses after I finish of the other trip stated earlier. I'm sure after a few more courses in those states that will change, kinda the same as your VA course. It's kinda refreshing to see something like this, you at first are thrown by there choice but if you then look at what they have played alot of times I can see were others are coming from.

I would skip Loriella and plan a whole day around Giles...it's that good! Hit me up with a PM if you want a partner, always love playing there.

By the way, come prepared- Bug repellent, water and long pants are a good idea.
