Seattle to Dallas

[chopz33]

first time to ever post in here...

only have 5 days to make the trip so i'd like to try and play as many courses as possible while not getting too far off track

making this trip mid-october

 

[chopz33]

and its actually Packwood, WA which is south of Seattle
so looking at the map it looks like my route will be Packwood WA to Boise, ID
then Salt Lake over to Denver, then through Wichita down through Oklahoma

im sure i can hit some nice courses..

 

[chopz33]

wow nothing?

I think lots of parts of the country that you're going through are somewhat DGCR wasteland in regards to members....
Also, hasn't been much action on here this weekend. Be patient and put together at least a beginning list of your route and course ideas you're looking at; and folks will begin to chime in.

I can say that I've got a course near Denver, and one in Oklahoma on my small wish list. I'll have to do a little research to say more...

Dallas/Fort Worth must play.....IMO

Lester Lorch Park, 2 full courses back to back..pretty legit.

Are you taking I-90 through Spokane or will you be cutting south before you get that far?. Some great courses here and in N Idaho.

 

[chopz33]

no ill be going south through Boise

Looks like Denver is going to be your best bet. Might I also suggest if you want something extreme - taking the Montana way instead and hitting Diamond X. The actual route time is similar to going through Idaho, but it's Diamond X - enough said.

Pretty much hit Dallas/FW - Harry Myers, and Lester Lorch
Hit Denver/Conifer - Beaver Ranch & Phantom Falls
Hit Montana - Diamond X
If you do go through to Salt Lake city though - you may want to just spend your whole DG time in the mountain areas of Colorado - it doesn't get much better than that.

i live in dallas so im familiar with the DFW courses.. was looking for some must play or nice courses up north

 

[tallpaul]

Diamond X, and Beaver Ranch, Phantom Falls FTW. Also, in Oklahoma, the Lodge in Pawhuska. A buddy, who has played more than 100 courses was there a month or so ago, and said it's the best he's ever played. These are three of the four that are on my wish list for the entire country.

 

[chopz33]

ok keep em coming....i have a list and will play as many as possible to make the trip in 5 days

 

[tallpaul]

Most mentioned will take some time to play; and two of the three have multiple courses on site as well. So, five days goes quick. You planning on not sleeping and driving all night?

 

[AequitasVeritas]

Z-Boaz in Fort Worth, Texas is a great course.

Let me know when you plan on playing. I live near Lester Loach. Always down to play.

no there is a buddy of mine who is going to go with me and he plays as well...so we will rotate with the driving and stuff

 

[chopz33]

[chopz33]

ok great thanks. and i assume the course will be the "northwest course" aka the winter course?

 

[humchris85]

If you were coming through CA I would have some help for you...

Another one in Denver would be Jonny Roberts in Arvada. Such a classic course. Short and slightly technical. Just a fun course to play. Then if you head on down towards Pueblo on your way to Texas then Pueblo city park is a great course!
