Winthrop Gold practice day

Pizza, Red Stripe & MNF was the perfect end to a fantastic Monday. We woke early this morning with the anticipation of our first look at Winthrop Gold, the tourney course and we weren't disappointed.


Hole 4 requires a low straight tee shot (350ft) to give you a peek at the two large mando trees (which must be split & not
thrown over) before a well placed anny or flat flick second shot can be executed with a favorable skip to sneek into a 30ft green guarded by a ring of 2 story evergreens.




Hole 18 starts with a tough uphill drive with the fairway that narrows as you reach the crest of the hill. Lay up short on the hill here and you got a blind upshot into the photo above, which drops off behind the basket to the lake below. Overall Winthrop Gold provides Plenty of OB, water and risk/reward shots that could end in double digit scores or solid pars. True test. Do you know your game? We'll see.
