I'm invited to play their next week - what kind of course is it? I've looked online - couldn't tell much.

A friend of mine who is a member at Stonebridge Ranch did not have good things to say about tha brook! He has a YEX membership and gets to play there for free too.

I've played there a few times but it's been a couple years. From what I remember it was kept in pretty good shape but has some strange elevation changes and hole shapes. Traditional old style country club with some narrow fairways and big oak trees. I enjoyed playing there but I always played for free. There are definitely a number of better options in the area.

it's an older course. Now, as far as practice facilities go (range, short game area, etc.), I think it is GREAT. However, the course itself leaves a little to be desired. The conditions have been good, but the layout and aesthetics are lacking. It's a short course (I think the tips are maybe 6600-6800) and there's absolutely zero wow factor. And, all of the houses lining the course are aging and bring the course down more than up.

I'm a YEX member and enjoy their practice facilities. The range has great grass, good balls, and they have a short game area with 4 greens at 20-80 yds that is great for dropping 30 balls and working on the short game. But, after that, it drops off (golf wise).

I agree - practice areas are great... courses are just okay, but Jordan Spieth is a member there and been developed at this course.

Also PGA uses this course to test for Player's Ability Test, they also have a junior course and junior tees, so it has golf for everyone, but it's not a true 'test' by modern standards.

I prefer my home course, Waterchase, at 7400 yards and a very stern test.
