just wanted to thank everyone in this thread for your contributions.

speaking of my home course's difficulty--i do wonder about that.
I play Poplar Creek in San Mateo, CA. Total Yardage: 5,645 par 70. Is that ridiculously short? I can hit the green on a few par 4's, so I know it's definitely on the easy side.

I'm sure you may know this and since I live in the Bay Area as well and have played that course before, I can chime in. Poplar is arguably the easiest 18 hole course in the entire Bay Area. Flat, wide open fairways, few tall trees. The only obstacle with this course are the high winds if you play later in the day. Most courses I play in the area have a slope of 120 or higher. I would call the course a confidence booster compared to playing other courses in the neighborhood.
