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.

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.
I love this course, it's one of my favourites in Orlando

Saddle Rock golf course in Aurora, Colorado. I know what I have to do but it is so tough. Blind shots, tough greens, native areas.

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.

Hole #1 on the West Course at Etowah kills me. It's a massively long Par 4, with OB just right and a creek just left. You have to get into it off the tee or you can't get on it two, but you're scared to b/c of the hazzards. It seems like you're always hitting into the wind, the green slopes severely back to front so anything long on the approach is death, yet there's the greenside bunkers placed just short. I hate it. I will walk off that hole with a 5 every single time and be happy, but you're typically 1 over on your round through 1 and that sucks.

My home course, its a hair over 6500 yards and has a killer slope rating to me 72.4/135. Only a few holes are tough but it absolutly kicks my arse every time. My best round is 89 there from the blues. I will shoot a good round there this year or I will join another club, take that!

Bartow Golf course, its a local municipal near me. Its a short straight forward design with soft flat greens. Everytime I go I get ready to shoot a new low, and every time I end up with a pedestrian number.

This course called Kettlebrook near me. The front is very wide open, the back, not so much. The back always eats me up, no matter how well I am playing.

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.
Steve I played Midland Valley several times when I lived in Augusta. It is a great track although I know what you are saying about the holes with the ball above your feet. A hooker like me doesn't need any help pulling the ball

Indian Head course in Grand Island. It's a nice tract, just sort of flat with a ton of doglegs. I've played it a number of times and just can't find that solid round there.

Haha I was about to say Westchase. Since that one's been taken, I'll go with The Claw at USF. I always seem to put up some really bad bad numbers there.

My home course. I can't shoot well there at all compared to other, "harder" courses. It is a course for accurate old men who have lost distance but gained in everything else.

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.

PB Dye in Ijamsville, Md. Beautiful course with some greats views, but played it twice this year and something about that course just bothers me.

It's never been an entire course, just a particular hole or two.
