New Greenery @ Green Acres Golf

Many thanks go to Teri Cave for improving the view on the 18th tee. Teri sent the wonderful sculpted moving tree with moving shadows seen in this photo. The tree adds just the right atmosphere for golfers preparing for that last redeeming drive as they complete an 18-hole round.


One of the delights of Green Acres Golf Course is the opportunity to meet wonderful people. Golf does that in RL and SL.

Many thanks to Teri Cave and her golfing friend Pownall Coronet, for their golf fellowship and support for Green Acres Golf.

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.
