Caddie's Summary: The first
response to Tobacco Road is "what the heck.." the next is "WOW". This rolling, cutting,
jagged golf course in North Carolina is as unique as any in the United States. Strantz
won a "GOLF Course Designer Of The Year" award in 1998 for works like this, and his use
of natural landscape is outstanding. Play the proper tees on this course and be prepared
to loose a few golf balls in the thick brushes and woods, and you will thoroughly enjoy
this amazing golf course. Waste bunkers and scrub brush are used as well as any course
in the South East and greens are extremely undulating. At least seven approach shots in
the round are "blind" and into very shallow (sometimes only 15yd deep) and often very
wide (a couple stretch from 30-65yd wide) greens. If anywhere within a couple hours
drive of this North Carolina golf course, make the time to play this masterpiece. |
