Ellinwood Country Club Tee Times

This place is basically a muni. The fairways are brown in spots, probably because there hasn't been much rain. The greens were in pretty good shape though, more on them later. It's kind of a quirky layout and you'll want an app or a yardage book. Hit driver well on 3 (I think) and you're in the marsh you can't see from the tee. If you drive it past the crest it rolls. This is the case on a couple holes. On 9 there's a big 'ol pond on the left you can't see. So be wary, there are dogs about. The greens were in good shape. Folks could fix their ball marks though. I get sick of typing that. Fix a couple even if you miss the green. We can all use that kind of karma. Speaking of, quite a few greens were quite tilted, don't be surprised if more than a couple of your approach shots will end up in the rough, no matter what you do. There were also a few forced carries for those approach shots. A couple greens were elevated, some protected by traps, and some were tiered. Not boring. Some of the greens were so tilted there weren't that many pin positions I'd call fair outside the strip at Myrtle Beach. There's some break on these greens, and the pin can be in places that make you wonder who the super found in bed with his daughter. Also not boring. It's easily walkable, but there are a few steeps. No long walks from green to tee. The best part? $14 to walk. On an off season weekday, but still. It's a little rough around the edges but worth playing if you're in the area.

Challenging track. I really love the layout! All of the people working there seem pleasant and friendly. I recommend it as a course to check out. My girlfriend and I have really been enjoying our rounds there lately!

Beautiful course which earns a 5 star. Some of the players get a one star though. A while back I was going to chip the ball over some buckwheat grass that was about eh, 5’6” or so and almost hit one of the other players. I think his name is Davis King, principal of the high school. Thankfully, the chipped ball was able to sustain an altitude of 5’7”. He needs to wear some wedges or make himself visible while out on the green. My slice is terrible. Pay attention
