Greetings from Vancouver, BC. I’m just getting ready to hit the town but thought I’d upload a couple of photos from yesterday’s HOG World Tour stop at Chambers Bay. Chambers Bay is about 30-45 minutes south of Seattle and home of the 2015 U.S. Open. The track looks very fun, but unfortunately my schedule did not allow for me to play it this time around.

The course is nice and brown, though my photos have been hot-rodded a bit to make them look a little more aesthetically pleasing. Stay tuned for when I upload the rest of the images next week.

Greetings from beautiful Shelton, Washington. I just finished playing the beautiful Salish Cliffs Golf Club here. Wow what a great mountain track with some beautiful tree-lined holes and perhaps the best quality greens I’ve putted all year.

I’m on the road for a few days so stay tuned for a full photo gallery of Salish Cliffs, and a full review within a few weeks.

Tom Fazio Designed Premier Course
Famed golf course architect Tom Fazio has one design in Michigan, the Premier Course at Treetops Resort in Gaylord, Michigan. The Premier Course is one of five courses at Treetops Resort.
Premier Course Overview
The Premier Course is a 6,832 yard, par-72 layout which fully takes advantage of the very interesting northern Michigan terrain with its dense forest, large elevation changes and great views. The course opened in 1992. Current prices for play vary depending on the season, ranging from $65-$145.
Speaking of the season, Treetops is also a ski resort in the winter, so the course is obviously not open all year. Generally, the course is open from April 30 to October 31.
Tee
Tom Fazio tees almost always present an aesthetically pleasing look. Premier targets frame up nicely from the tee, typically with the dense northern Michigan forest lining each side. There is a wide variation of hole shapes which asks the better player to be able to hit draws, fades and the ever difficult straight ball.
From the par-4 first tee the player experiences an immediate dose of the elevation changes. Right off the bat there’s a very large drop which tempts you into swinging even harder with your driver. No need though, a regular swing will gain extra yards due to the elevation change. (more…)
