I was just reading the 'Lowest Round' thread and it got me thinking. What course or courses have you played that just have your number. I mean, you shoot low scores at your home course becauseyou just know every inch. What course do you play on the regular that you just can't conquer? You show up knowing you are ready to shoot a good score but when you added it up at the end of the day...it's not so good. |

Tadashi, for me, I don't know if it's a course or if it's a hole or two. I play this course around here every Monday (Etowah Valley), and I have put up some decent scores there but I absolutely despise about 3 golf holes on that course. |

I'm the same way. I can't really think of a particular course, but I can think of 3-4 hole stretches on a few that drive me insane and I can never seem to get a grip on. |

Easy answer - Midland Valley Golf Course just outside of Aiken SC. I have played nearly every course in the Augusta GA area, and shot in the 60's on nearly all, even in tournament play. But Midland Valley, in many casual and tournament rounds, has my number. My best effort there is a +2 73 done a couple of times. It is not that hard of a course, and is usually well-conditioned, but I know why it beats me. A large majority of the holes slope away left, meaning that a huge proportion of the time one is left with an approach with the ball lying above the feet. I am fine with level lies and with the ball below my feet, but I am not very consistent with the ball above my feet. Don't let this discourage anyone - play it if you have the chance - good track, good value. ![]() |

For me it's a course called Metro West, in Orlando. I love the track and should be able to shoot a low number but I always seem to have an issue. It may be the way I play it but I have only once shot a good round, by my standards, in many years. |

Tough call but I would say Baywood Greens probably has my number. It's just a golf course that makes you play the course without letting up and can't be lazy on any shots or you'll lose your round. I have had decent rounds there but I always make silly mistakes because the course doesn't allow mistakes and penalizes you.

The club that I used to be a member at (Southern Pines in Calhoun, LA) had two different courses. I could go out and shoot 70s to low 80s almost every time on one of them. The other was completely different. I still hate that course to this day. It took me forever to break 80 on that course and I've only done it a handful of times to this day. I actually went back out there the first of the year to play it again and it reminded me why I never liked that course. I think I shot an 88 that day.
