Green Acres Advances


Green Acres Golf Course saw numerous design advances this week.

The upper green on two is larger and moved farther back.

Three plays longer with the green moved back and to the right. You can still see the flag from the tee box, but the hole is hidden.

Seven now sports a small green fairway area on the point where you should be making your second shot to get on the green.

The tenth green was moved back into the hillside below the lone oak tree. Pitch to the green from the below the boulders. A good short game will get you a four, but par is five.

The green on fourteen is larger and you can easily see the flag and hole. As always, don't over-power your drive or you will need scuba gear for your second shot (or add a penalty stroke and stand on the shore).

Lot's of smaller adjustments were made here and there, including new pin locations.

If it's been a while since you played the course, be sure to respect the trees on seventeen and eighteen. Look carefully for other changes.
