Date: May 18, 2009
I played Kresson Golf Club as a warm up and practice round before my golf outing at Merion Golf Club – East Course. We played the men’s tees which at any other golf course would be the kids’ tees, measuring a total of 4800. First off, way over priced for the conditions of the course, the score cards have not been updated in over 15 years, all the yardages are incorrect on the score card, the teeing areas and fairways are typical grass and the greens are like a thick carpet with huge aeration holes. With all that said, I shot a round of 90 on a beautiful sunny day. My driving was good, only spraying a few tee shots off line. My approach shots are getting better, I am slowly hitting the ball a little better each time out. Chipping was average and my putting completely sucked due to the piss poor greens, the ball was hopping all over the place and super slow which cost me a few strokes.
FROM THE WEB SITE: Yea right, website.
COURSE CONDITION: Course maintenance is weak, my lawn at home is nicer. As stated above… the teeing areas and fairways are typical grass and the greens are like a thick carpet and are very slow with almost no break. There are no diagrams of the holes (except for stick figure like diagrams on scorecard), no yardage markers anywhere, yardages are incorrect on the score card, leaves you wondering about yardages on most of the holes.
FACILITIES: They have a so called club house, no amenities really at all just a small putting green. This is an easy course to walk, 90% of the golfers walk this course.
SHOT OF THE DAY: First hole, drove it within 20 yards of the green.
SUGGESTIONS and COMMENTS: Good course for beginners, kids and really slow players. That’s about it, not much else to say. Take your little kids there to play, they will see lots of cool wildlife.
GOLFNERDNESS: It is called weed killer, buy some.
GOLF COURSE MANAGEMENT: Play a different course.
