I spent most of Saturday afternoon sitting around the beautiful and private King Valley clubhouse, waiting for the thunderstorms to roll through.  At first, there was so much rain that the course temporary suspended any playing due to flooded fairways.  We were ready to head out again, but yet another storm came through, but this time there was nothing behind it.

So, 2 hours after our originally scheduled tee-time, we started to meandered our way through the beautiful fairways (or in many cases, the rough).  One of the first things that caught my attention was the bunkering.  They seemed to be strategically placed through the fairways and around the greens.  The biggest attribute was the ability to penalize the golfer for entering said bunker.

The second thing I admired the most were the greens.  They weren’t overly large in size, and were very contoured.   They were often elevated with danger on at least one side, and a lot of the time two sides.  I believe they’re still fair given you always had a safe shot on your approach.

All in all, it’s an excellent course and considering it’s on the drive home from work, it only adds to the desire to join ClubLink.
