This morning we played a round of golf at the Pickens Country Club. The course opened in 1952, and has a mature, traditional air about it. It is a par-72, 6,220-yard course featuring a mature, traditional layout set in wooded, rolling terrain.
The majority of the fairways are defined by evergreens and hardwoods.
The Bermuda fairways and bentgrass greens are coupled with strategically placed sand and grass bunkers that will challenge players of all skill levels. As Bruce found out, keeping your tee shot in the fairway is a must when the rough is grown up, and the small, undulating greens require a precise shot making on approach. On the par 4 ninth hole he found himself in a hole bunker after his second shot.
Fortunately Bruce's recovery skills are good. He made par on that hole.
The layout, bordered by woods on some holes, and only brings water into play on only a couple of holes, but od has a lot of uphill work on narrow fairways, making it a challenging course to play.
