McDonald Golf Course #1
Hole #1 – We politely saluted our host Scott Culley

As two Denver residents approached the first tee, Scott Culley (the best PGA pro in Indiana) introduced us as being diehard Oakland Raider fans. Since Bronco fans are not easily intimidated (2014 Super Bowl aside), we decided to stay and were glad we did.

McDonald Municipal Golf Course (because of the many “McDonald” courses in the US, they have added National to their name) has many mature trees that line the fairways and will attract any wayward shots. The fairways were in excellent shape having been revamped in Bermuda Grass during the last few years.

After politely acknowledging Scott, we aggressively attacked Hole #1 with its slight dogleg right fairway and large bunkers guarding the green. At Hole #2 a well-designed draw is the ideal shot as a straight drive may carry through the fairway. Hole #3 may be fairly straight but…four trees in the fairway and the road to the left make it very interesting. Kudos to the course architect.

Hole #4 is a carbon copy of hole #3. Forget what I said about the architect who deserves a demerit here for lack of imagination. Hole #5 is a birdie waiting to happen if you can avoid the bunker fronting this wide (not very deep) green. No torment at Hole #7 except for the bunker left; the bunker right; and the horseshoe-shaped water hazard behind this 154 yard par 3. Hole #9 is a little longer at 197 yards and shouldn’t present a challenge unless you have to attempt a flop shot over the front right bunker.

McDonald GC #7
Hole #7 – 154 yard, par 3. Trouble left, right and back.

Birdie:  $19 including a cart is a bargain for this 9-hole course. The staff was very friendly and helpful as we tried to find our way around Evansville. We completed our round in two hours which allowed us time to explore Evansville University (home of the Aces & Jerry Sloan) and Ed’s (my golfing buddy) old childhood neighborhood.

Living the dream. Spending our 40th anniversary houseless and eating Dunkin Donuts in Santa Fe, NM. The journey continues…stay tuned…
Where were they? We didn’t see any? The Big Sky state was hidden because of fires. Review of Deer Park GC is now ready for review at www.alwaystimefor9.com.
Always a fun round at the @edgefieldmcmenamins Jerry Garcia birthday tournament on the 20-hole par 3 course. @mcmenamins.
Back in Oregon for the weekend. Love finding these hidden gems. @evergreen_golfcourse in Mount Angel, Oregon was awesome! Review will come in a few weeks.
The best way to describe our playing this course was…a few cards short of a full deck!  Visit my website at alwaystimefor9.com for our review of Coyote Willows GC in Mesquite, NV.
It had become a 9-hole Donald Ross New England adventure. Stop #5 of the 2021 New England trip: 9Holers; 9 Days; 9States; 9Courses; 900Miles was Carter Country Club in Lebanon, NH. Course review at alwaystimefor9.com.
As we drive from Atlanta to the Rocky Mountains, a great stop is @kirkwoodnationalgolfclub in Holly Springs, MS. I just have to remember that we are not playing in the thin air of Colorado. The ball just stalls in the thick humid air.
After seeing four outstanding drives at Hole #1, Bomoseen GC should have been named Seen-a-bomb GC. Stop #4 on the 2021: 9Holers; 9States; 9Days; 9Courses; 900Miles Golf Trip. Course review at alwaystimefor9.com.
As we travel along I-40, our next stop was Henryetta, OK and Henryetta GC designed by Perry Maxwell. Course review coming somewhere down the road.

We had a great time last Fall at Dudley Hill Golf Course in Dudley, MA. Another strange review from the warped mind of Mr. Always Time for 9. The Baby Boomers will understand. https://alwaystimefor9.com/dudley-hill-golf-course-dudley-ma/ #play9 #golf #alwaystimefor9 #golfthefairwayslesstraveled #dudleyhillgc
