Heading to PA next weekend to hit Faylor Lake, Agape Farm, and likely one more. Looking forward to playing my first Houck course.
Nice - I still haven't hit those two yet and I'm a lot closer than you . . .

Trust me when I say, when you get to #6, you'll thank the people who put the time and effort to add those steps. Never seen a hole that needed them more.Nice - I still haven't hit those two yet and I'm a lot closer than you . . .
Starting to put together a trip to Highbridge in Sept. Looking like Rollin' Ridge, Sandy Pointe and Powder Mills are part of the drive. Any tips, suggestions, food, drink, lodging are welcome.
If you're a hotel person, I had a very good experience at the Kress Inn outside of Green Bay. Reasonably priced, and managed by the local college it's next to. I stayed there a couple years ago when I hit Rollin' Ridge, Silver Creek Park in Manitowoc (would recommend as well), and Wilderness. Wilderness was a bit of a drive from there, just under 2 hours. But if you were otherwise going to stay closer to the coast it could make sense.Starting to put together a trip to Highbridge in Sept.

personally i would skip the up and double dip back thru wi on the return loop to dearbornWe are going to take the Southern route up to Highbridge and the Northern UP route home. We have a couple social, couch crashing stop on the trip up to HB. We need to work some of the social visits out a bit, before setting our itinerary. Keep the info coming.
Or you could hop on the ss badger on the return trip...oh yeah that's out.personally i would skip the up and double dip back thru wi on the return loop to dearborn
the up dg sucks and wi has an absurd amount of quality courses
So what do you think of C2?Me and the wife hit all 7 courses by Iowa City today. We're exhausted. Was supposed to play 5 today and the other 2 tomorrow but the weather doesn't want to cooperate. It knows I'm headed to Moline
Thursday is looking good for Camden though. Fingers crossed
So what do you think of C2?
I of course have to defend the UP a bit. Powder Mill and Old Town are great in Marquette area. Calumet Lake is good if you want to take the detour to experience the scenery up in the Keweenaw. North Bluff near Escanaba is probably the best in the UP, very strong course that is flying way under the radar. And Superior Pines is one of my personal favorites that I plan on returning to for a fourth time when I am UP there (next week ).personally i would skip the up and double dip back thru wi on the return loop to dearborn

I rode the Badger one way for the aforementioned trip where I hit RR/Silver Creek/Wilderness. I may have gotten unlucky but I had a miserable time. The lake was really choppy and somehow the waves felt even bigger on the Badger. It was so rough that most of the onboard activities were cancelled and everyone just kind of gritted it out for 4 hours. 5 actually since they went kinda diagonally across the lake to try to avoid the worst waves. Unless the history/nostalgia of it is interesting to you, I'd say skip it. I'd battle Chicago traffic both ways before I rode the Badger again personally.Or you could hop on the ss badger on the return trip...oh yeah that's out.
I've always wanted to cross the lake on the badger, but it's so expensive and so slow that I doubt I'll ever do it. I'll have to be satisfied with my memories of the beaver island ferries.
Anybody tried the express ferry?I rode the Badger one way for the aforementioned trip where I hit RR/Silver Creek/Wilderness. I may have gotten unlucky but I had a miserable time.
