As you've probably figured out by now, I do a LOT of golfing! Because I get to see a lot of courses and play a lot of greens, I've decided to have a do keep an official reviews page for all the courses I play.
Here's a quick breakdown of my ratings system: |

August 19th, 2009

So I know that I haven't done this in a while but I found a new course that I was told I HAD to play. It's called Trinatas, which I have no idea what that means except for HARD ASS Golf course. It's in Valley Springs, which I'm lucky I found my way there, and truth be told I did get lost. Thanks to my co-pilot being my dad.
Here's a look at my afternoon at Trinitas.... |

So here's the opening hole. A really cool hole that lets you bail out if your a puss, or hit it over the trees and leave a pitch in. I pitched to far and made bogey.
|

This is the first par 3 you see on the course and it's pretty damn cool with the moat infront of the green. Needless to say I bailed out left but still got up and down bitches!!!!!!!!
|
 
So, I don't really remember what holes these are I just know that they were damn tough!!!!!! And I know for a fact that I didn't do well on them.
|

I think that my dad is looking for a place to go to the bathroom, too bad he's on a teebox!!!
|

This is a look at the 600 plus yard par 5. It has two dog legs and the last two hundred yards are straight up a hill. I picked up my ball after about 10 shots.
|

I believe this is the 14th hole and it's really an amazing hole. You have a huge elevation drop which means you can bomb the hell out of it and knock it on with no problem. Yes, I made par thanks to my birdie lipping out!
|

It was hard for me to decide which hole to finish with, so I went with 17. It's a par 3 that's only about 130 yards long but it has a creek running underneath the hole. I have never seen that before. |

So here is my overall rating for Trinitas... |

Ok, so I have to say that this is not the easiest golf course in the world to play. I know that the course record is only 2 under. The thing that I really did like about the course was that the guy who owns it actually designed it himself, and really did a cool job of laying out the course. Even though for my tastes there were a few too many forced lay ups on such a long course. |

| 2 balls. The one thing I really take notice of now on courses is the flow of the course. Like if it has a bunch of big greens or small greens. This course had both, so it kind of through me off on where to hit the ball, if I could actually hit a green. |

3 balls. I really did enjoy seeing this golf course and playing it even though it is really REALLY hard. It makes the Dragon(which is closed now I think) look like an executive course. The one thing that I didn't like was on 18 a 570 yard par 5, you had to hit your tee shot only 240 yards at the most. I'm a firm believer that on ALL par 5's you should be able to hit driver and not worry about it. But all in all it is a challenge for ANY golfer.
