Scotch Hall
Chad in the pro shop is great. Personable and knowledgeable.
The course was perfect, except for the bunkers which are devoid of sand. But I was warned ahead of time.
Distractingly beautiful layout. Well worth the 2 hour drive.
Food service was painfully slow, but staff is nice and the beer was cold.

Great course. Bunkers need work. Pace of play was bad due to groups of 5 in front of our twosome. Wouldn’t mind if they didn’t hold up play or let us play through. Maybe have a marshal monitor on the course during rounds.

It’s been very dry for the past two months, our local courses are extremely dry. Scotch Hall’s irrigation is a game changer as their fairways were far better than any other we’ve played. Including Pinehurst 2; 4 & 8 that we play a month earlier. They were understaffed, as are many service businesses these days (Pandemic/Stimulus). But, the employees they had there that day were excellent. We had one of the best golfing days since the Pandemic. Played an E9 and started planning a weekend there next month.
