Rough Around the Edges
Been a while since I played Cranwell and it was as scenic as I remember. Course is very nice but could use a little help, and they have to do something about a few of the greens, which will just frustrate the heck out of you.
Big rain storm the night before and they course was soggy in spots, a quagmire in others, so drainage is an issue. Not unusual for a mountain course. Unfortunately my lasting memory will be of the many greens that can only be called stupid. On more than one green, my friend dropped a ball out of his hand at or right near the hole, only to watch it roll away. On one or two greens the ball rolled all the way off. Very frustrating. We played the back 9 with a regular who told us that is a constant complaint about the course, especially from folks who have never played there.
I would say the course has great potential to be a real gem. Just needs a bit of updating.
