The crew is always there to help give recommendations but are not pushy. I have not visited in over a year but have plans to be there frequently this year. Can't wait to see everyone and how things have changed. Again, great job! Barracuda Bob's Captain Joe.

In this review I'm going to mainly talk about taking advantage on the par 3 holes that you'll have…read morefour of on any championship par 72 golf course. Executive golf courses are comprised of multiple par 3's, playing to a par of 60, you can definitely find tune your mid to low iron play at these courses. Anytime your in the teeing area you must know that you have great advantages and set yourself up to the full use of them. Ball tee hight, shot angles away from dangers, distance and yardage. Depending on your skill level all of these factors should be used to create the best opportunity to hit the green, two putt for par and maybe drop in a birdie but play for par, center of the green - no flag hunting ever unless you know the course and know the placements. Think like the golf course architect, do a little research on him. What does he do to guard against your ball? High thick rough? heavily bunkered? swails and waving countours on the green? How does it slope? Front to back but more likely back to front. By PGA and R&A Rules your allowed two club lengths back from the teeing area your playing from. So two driver lengths is 90 inches approximately, so if your yardage book is giving you 172 from the blue tees and your sure you can hit a 7 iron 177 if you pure it, pace off three steps back to 176 and play from there, legally without penalty. I'm a high ball hitter, I like to open the club a little and hit a little baby fade into flagsticks although I prefer to draw the ball. Problem is the draw double cross miss can result in a overcooked ten yard yank that'll put your ball off the green, under a bush and a tunnel of trees ahead. How your wrist a bit, keep it locked, aim just left of the flag (unless the wind is blowing right with a left flag) club up a bit, hit the 6 instead of the 7 choking down a bit. The biggest problem I see with amateur players is that they don't hit enough club, coming up short and facing a testy bump and run, pitch, chip or flop all which are shots one must practice hard and play with confidence, so avoid the short misses. Freedom Fairways will give you the opportunity to play these 150 and in shorts, the most important scoring shots. Nobody likes to work on this most important scoring zone and I don't understand why. I'd drill for hours on 50-60-70 yarders until the sun went down and my hands hurt. So in conclusion, play the executive courses, although Freedom Fairways might be the only one in the area. And go see Doc in the club making area near the first tee. His knowledge and wisdom had me ask him to watch my practice which he did and said I'm "an over swinger" which I can not deny. But I still love to Grip it and Rip it.

The staff at this golf course is genuinely very nice, I always look forward to interacting with…read morethem during my visits at this course. The course is in good shape, the greens are a little fuzzy and bumpy. I'm not a great putter so this doesn't affect my game. This course is short, 3214 yards from the tips so it's great to work on your short game. Something I need to do each and every week for the rest of my days. The carts are in great shape so no issue with them. Glad I came out and played this course, course management is something I still need to work on as my score reflects that. So, if you have some free time come out here and check it out.
