Hey it was Friday, December 1st, and we decided that we needed to get out and play KBGC. We have played this course multiple times and it is always fun and challenging. We were the first twosome out this morning, call us dew swippers, and the course was in excellent shape. After all the rain, there were only a few spots on the course that were wet, including the bunkers. Over the years we had stopped playing here as we were met with unfriendly, or not fully awake, pro shop personnel. However, the last couple of times we played, the pro shop has made a change and the new person is fantastic. Very friendly and provides details about the day, the course, and anything else that the course has going on. Additionally, pretty much everyone at the course is friendly and the people who play the course are cordial.
Note about the course. There are about 4 holes that need to be navigated and course management needs to be deployed. Hole 1 is a par 5 that goes right to left. Your tee shot needs to be played well right to set up a second shot towards the green and to eliminate all of the trees on the left. Hole is a short dogleg right, so play your tee shot to the left to set up a short iron shot into the green. Hole 4 is another short dogleg right, so play your tee shot over the corner to be within a short iron shot to the green. Hole 7 is a dogleg left. A good tee shot will put you in play for a mid-iron shot to the green. If you are a long hitter, go over the corner and you will have a short iron to the green. Hole 9 is very challenging par 5. It is a double dogleg left. The tee shot needs to be in the fairway, not too long as it will reach the water on the right side of the fairway. The second shot is up the fairway to the middle of the fairway leaving you a short iron into the green. As you go to the back nine, you are met on hole 10 with a short par 4 and then a straight away par 5 for hole 11. After that, you are come up on hole 12, a par 4 that is very short. Your tee shot should be around 200 yards to miss water right and long. This will leave you a short iron into a green. Hole 13 a par 3 that is pretty much over water all the way to the green. Hole 14 is another hole that you must manage well. Your tee shot is a 200 to 230 yard shot which will leave you a mid to short iron into the green. Hole 15 is a short straight away par 4, easy birdie hole if your tee shot is good. Hole 16 is a short part 3 followed by hole 17 a nice little challenging par 4. When you get to the 18 tee box, you will see a well laid out hole that will let you finish well brining you back for another round of fun.
Overall – I would recommend anyone to play this course. Well worth the price.
Cheers.
