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.
High-level caddie notes 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 2 is a short dogleg right, so play your tee shot to the left to set up a short iron shot into the green. Hole 3 is a longish par 4. It always seems to play longer than it is. A good tee shot to the middle or middle-right will leave you will a iron or hybrid to the green. The green is elevated and runs front to back. It is also protected by bunkers right and left. 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 5 is a par 4 that runs pretty much straight out in front of you. The green is protected with bunkers front and left. Hole 6 is a mid-range par 3. There is plenty of room right, but not left. don’t go long or you will be in the junk. 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. Hole 11 is a par 5 that requires a good tee shot and a good second shot to leave yourself with a nice wedge to the green. There is water front and left of the green. The green is narrow but fairly long right to left. Hole 12 is a par 4 that is very short. Your tee shot should be around 200 yards to miss water left, right, and long. This will leave you a short iron into a green. The green is protected by bunkers front right and left. Long is over and potentially in water. There is also water short right and right. Get a par an move on. 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 that doglegs to the right. Far right is OB. When you get to hole 18 tee box, you will see a well laid out par 4 that runs a little uphill and usually lets you finish well. A good tee shot up the middle to start will leave you with an iron to the green. The green is large and slightly elevated. Should be an easy par.
Overall – I would recommend anyone to play this course. Well worth the price.
Cheers.
