Club House Opens at Green Acres

Club houses are an important part of the golf course scene. They are places where golfers meet, trade stories of golfing moments from the tragic (mostly) to the sublime, and discuss the interests of the day.

Several Green Acres golfers have been commenting about a club house for the group. Most recently, Yordie Sands wrote in her blog about golfing at Green Acres and the desirability of a club house.

So...your intrepid course designer went to work.


The new club house is located by the ninth green. The old cottage ruins were spiffed up with a new roof, larger floor area, a porch overlooking the course, new couples dances, and additional seating. Please let me know if you have other suggestions for improvements.

The walls are on the minimal side to keep the views open to the golf course. Enjoy visiting in the comfy Adirondak chairs, and the four couples dances. It's a good place to relax, watch the passing golfing scene, and visit. And, of course, the streaming music sign is still there so you know the songs and musicians.

Enjoy, and see you on the links!

Dog Days of August

Well, the "Dog Days" of August have "seriously" arrived at Green Acres Golf Course in the Romantic Times region.


I don't see many clouds on the horizon these days, so you'll see me out on the course moving the sprinklers around. I'll do my best to keep the course in good shape during the SL dry season.

If you encounter a sprinkler on the course, just play through.

Green Acres Number One Golfer!

There are natural limits to what golfers can generally accomplish.

Day-to-day, the course and the "golf spirits" will allow the most accomplished golfers to turn in good scorecards.

But then... sometimes... for those most who are most skillful, patient, and practiced, the course and the golf spirits will allow a truly great performance on the course.

Today, at Green Acres Golf Course, Cloe Neiro scored a 46! With two holes-in-one, and several risky long-shots on the back nine Cloe achieved the seemingly impossible.

Amazing! But not accidental. Cloe is one great golfer.

You'll see her on the course often with her partner Rafe Holder. Look for her Green Acres Number One Golfer tag and congratulate her!

Cloe Neiro Wins Swing into August Tourney

Green Acres Golf Course in the Romantic Times region was "tuned to be tough" for the Swing into August Tourney. So were the golfers!

Cloe Neiro won the tourney with an outstanding 51 scorecard total. Nancy Carpool was close behind with a 52. It takes a lot of practice and skill to move to that level, especially with the "tuned to be tough" approach the course designer has been following lately.

Congrats go to Cloe and, indeed, to all the entrants. The tourney was a lot of fun for everyone.


Cloe wins the 250 Linden prize along with a personalized tourney champion golf bag. Nancy won 100 Linden for second place.

Thanks to all the participants, and see you on the links everyone!

What a Day at Green Acres! Two Holes-In-One

Sofiya takes a bow after her drive drops in on thirteen.

The thirteenth green is reached with a sweeping over-the-water drive that drops swiftly. Too little strength and the beavers grab your ball and hustle away. Too much, and the mountain side behind the green teaches you a lesson.


Sofiya and Quinton are all smiles. Congratulations Sofiya!

Challenging 11th Finally Yields Hole-In-One

Larissa and Edd pause on the eleventh green to celebrate Larissa's hole-in-one.

The eleventh green is nested in a little valley. It is challenging to gauge just the right touch for an arching drive from the tee box. Avoid over-driving into the St. Andrews Bunker and you can put yourself into position to match Larissa's achievement.

This was Larissa's first hole-in-one at Green Acres Golf Course and the first one reported on the eleventh. Congratulations Larissa!
