点评:Okay, my younger brother and I have played this course many times ever since he was a teenager, circa late 70's. He still lives in Dunedin, but I'm two hours away, so not as often. This has always been a nice course - wide fairways, lots of trees, a few hills, well maintained. Never had any complaints really, pre-rehab; this was my first time after the renovation.
Impressions: Fairways and greens very well maintained, some improvement in the layouts. Enlarged greens with some of them recontoured for some interesting putting. Additional bunkers on many holes and around greens. Friendly staff. Free range balls a plus. Good carts with LED screens showing holes as you go. Had lunch post-round; decent prices, good service, good food.
On the negative side, quite a bit overpriced IMHO at $100+ tax; my brother paid $75+ tax as a resident. Still pretty steep for off-season mid-week.; there were few other golfers out and we were done in about 3 1/2 hours. This is not a gated private course or a resort amenity. By comparison, he volunteers at the Valspar PGA event at Innisbrook CC and gets open tee times to play their Copperhead a few times a year. We played there last month and our greens fees were $100. Trust me, as nice as Dunedin is, it is NOT Innisbrook Copperhead. I'm sure we'll play again, but the rounds will be few and far between.
翻译:好吧,我弟弟从他十几岁(大约70年代末)开始就和我在这座球场打过很多次球。他现在还住在但尼丁,但我离这里有两个小时的车程,所以不常去。这座球场一直都很不错——球道宽阔,树木繁多,还有几座小山,维护得很好。翻修前真的没什么可抱怨的;这是翻修后我第一次来。
印象:球道和果岭维护得很好,布局也有一些改进。果岭扩大了,其中一些重新设计了轮廓,以便进行一些有趣的推杆。许多球洞和果岭周围都增加了沙坑。工作人员友好。散打球是个加分项。球车不错,LED屏幕会显示球洞。赛后吃了午餐;价格合理,服务周到,食物也不错。
缺点是,在我看来,100澳元加税有点贵;我弟弟作为居民,只付了75澳元加税。对于淡季和周中来说,这价格还是有点高。当时场外几乎没有其他高尔夫球手,我们大约三个半小时就打完了。这里既不是封闭式私人球场,也不是度假村设施。相比之下,他在因尼斯布鲁克乡村俱乐部 (Innisbrook CC) 的瓦尔斯帕 (Valspar) PGA 赛事上做志愿者,每年都能获得几次开放的开球时间,去他们的铜斑蛇 (Copperhead) 球场打球。我们上个月在那里打过球,果岭费是 100 美元。相信我,达尼丁虽然不错,但这里可不是因尼斯布鲁克铜斑蛇球场。我肯定我们还会再来,但打几轮的次数会很少。
