Bruce and I played several rounds of golf on the table Rock Resort Golf course during the week we stayed at the resort. Our condo faced the first fairway. Every morning we would wake up to the course covered in mist and Sassafras Mt. above in aflame in sunrise. It was a beautiful way to start the day
The course starts at the top of a mountain side,
plays down hill and across a stream
then along one side of a meadow following the stream
The meadow portion of the course is the only part that is flat.
But that does not mean it is without hazard. Golfers have to drive around the stream which meanders from side to side. Once you near the end of the meadow, you have to drive over a fairly large pond to get onto the green.
From there you play up and back down a small narrow wooded side ravine
And then its back to the meadow again and across the stream and up another ravine
This hill top tee off has the added benefit of having a great view of one of the local waterfalls.
Well its a benefit if you can enjoy the view and still make your shot down the hill
Its a tough shot to make. Overshoot your target and you wind up in the boulders.
Al the ups and downs and challenging hazards made it am interesting course to play, but it was also a frustrating one. Not because of the difficulty, but because it is so spectacularly beautiful there that I had trouble concentrating on the game.
