Two Of My Favorite Golf Courses
Posted by Terry Powell under: Golf .
One of the biggest fun with playing golf is that you get to experience different grounds with different landscaping and slopes. The best golf courses vary for different players, as each one holds their own standard. For me, a great golf course should be characterized by rich historical background, world class facilities, breath-taking scenery and rising popularity.
I am about to share with you two of the golf courses which won my top votes. I do not simply like them for the sake of golfing fun, but also for the extra features which bring about extra enjoyment.
1. The Eagle Point Golf Club
This low-profile par-72 club is located in the eastern part of North Carolina. Its green scenery is amazingly impressive, and you can choose to walk as you go through different holes. The club offers a very nice caddie service, and its tennis and swimming facilities will easily spice up your sporting fun.
The club owns a golfing ground of mover 7,000 yards, with a 74.5 rating and replete with 137 slopes for golfer to test their mettle. If this is not enough, the prevailing wind from the Atlantic Ocean will increase the challenge for you. Despite its traditional outlook, the club is filed with world-class facilities including a high-tech learning center where golf player can learn to advance their skills. What makes the club even more attractive is the town's unbeatable weather year round and the great private retreat. Even if the club tries to stay low-profile, its business never stops to be thriving.
2. The Concession In Florida
Since its grand opening 3 years ago, this golf club has been featured in numerous popular publications such as the Golfweek. Jack Nicklaus and Tony Jacklin are the two founders of the club, and these two are often referred to as legendary golfers.
The name was derived from what transpired in 1969 when Nicklaus yielded a three-foot putt. That act of sportsmanship was all the British team (led by Jacklin) needed to tie with the Americans. While the Americans eventually won in the tournament, the act was forever etched in the annals of the sporting world. Decades after, the golf legends have worked on a 1,200-acre property that is free from housing developments. The par-72 Concession (7,470 yards, with 155 slopes and 77.6 rating) may be hard to conquer for its landscape angles and fairway bunkers. But this makes it one of the best golf courses-it's challenging, yet enjoyable. And if you need some tips, just ask pro Jimmy Wright at the practice range.
