Anyone played there lately? any info on the place?

I am a club corp member and was thinking of making the drive up one day next week to play the course. Never been and was wondering how it is?

Don't waste your time unless they're paying you to play there. Even then, don't waste your time.

It was great in 1975.

Is that the place where the driving range is into a lake?

How does it stay open? Do you have to be a member if you live there? Probably the worst private course I've ever seen.

Man, you guys are making this place sound like complete ***** I figured with it being connected to Club Corp the course would at least be in decent shape?

Yes, I believe it's required that you be a member if you live in the neighborhood. I'm not sure what level of membership, but if I recall correctly it's basically part of your HOA dues.

Course conditions may be fine, but it's a piece of crap golf course. Terrible layout, house lined... I'm telling you, don't bother.

Maybe if you're retired and live in April Sound and hit the ball 170 yds off the tee it would be fine, but other than that... DEFINITELY don't make a point to drive and go play it.

Pretty sure whatever the condition old bluebonnet is in Plantersville beats April Sound.

RIP. At least that was an interesting layout.

*and it's sad that a course like that and Waterwood die, but April Sound still lives.

Jesus, genuinely curious how and why this course is getting treated like the bubonic plague now...and this is coming from someone who has played the Mineola "Country Club" in East Texas multiple times and enjoyed it.

The best part of an April Sound outing is you can go across the road to Tony's Italian Deli and have the best sandwich ever.

I've been there twice-
First was a JV golf tournament in 1995ish. I don't recall much other than it was a terrible idea to let a hundred idiot high school boys hit balls on a range with houses within a short distance.
Last time was the spring of 2001 and I drove a sorority charter bus down there for there for a mixer. At about 10-11 that night I went out to walk the course because I was bored and came across one of the sorority girls and her date banging in the middle of a fairway.

So against the advice of everyone here I decided to go play April Sound today. It was .... okay. For the cart fee that I paid it was well worth the $20 considering I was able to play a full 18 in under three hours.

It was by the far the worst ClubCorp course I've played, but not the worst course I've ever played that's for sure. The greens were in okay shape. Worst part was the leaves lining the fairway. Tee boxes were in good shape.

It's not a course that you take someone to impress, but I'd imagine in the summertime it serves its purpose (not crowded, decent shape, not overly tough).

Did you get a sandwich at Tony's Italian Deli? If so it might be your best day of golf.

Unfortunately, his story occurred before smart phone video.

If only you had read this thread. It's across 105 from the April Sound entrance and it's amazing.

I didn't even have a cell phone till 3 years after that evening, much less one with a camera. But it was basic missionary, her dress just pulled up, no bewbs showing, and his pants covering his ankles so not sure how they were.
Now someone buy my youth clubs on the other thread.
