Tiger's Eye Golf Club

We played Tiger's Eye on 9/17/06. The course was in good shape considering that they had aerated the greens a week prior to playing. In addition, there was a rain storm that dumped about 3" on the course just a few days prior to playing.
It was "cart path only" because of the rain, and some of the sand traps were still very wet. The greens were sandy and slow, but they ran true.
It is such a great course - truly deserving of it's high ranking by Golf Digest and other "authorities. "
Tim Cate's design and the five different sets of tees makes this an enjoyable course for golfers of all abilities.
Ladies and Junior golfers will find the course fair, yet challenging from the front tees. There's a pretty big difference between the "white" tees and the "blues." While the blue tees lengthen the course to over 6,600 yards, it's still very playable for a mid-to-high handicap golfer.
The greens have a lot of sloping or undulation and paying close attention to pin placements can really improve your score, especially when the greens are fast.
Tiger's Eye is definitely a must-play course!

Crow Creek Golf Club

Played 9 holes on Crow Creek Golf Club in Calabash, NC, a few days ago. Why did I play only nine holes? Because that's all they have open at the moment due to vandalism that destroyed most of the greens on the front nine. The course is supposed to re-open all 18 holes later this month, and everything should be fine. The course is a nice layout. Wide fairways make it a fair course for high handicappers, but tricky, fast greens make it challenging for better golfers, too.
