My vote's for Boyce just because it's closer to me. It is a nice park for a course, though. Plus a wave pool for when you play in the summer. And a ski slope for when you play in the winter.

It is a completely different course. The improvements at Deer Lakes are mind numbing. The concrete tee pads, 3 per hole, make a huge difference. The retaining walls we build make sure that all the tees are flat and level. No more teeing off while trying to run up hill or at an off angle. Plus, the visual aspect of them are beautiful. After we get them all done, which will be soon, are next project is to reseed the fairways on #7 and #8. We've already added some trees to shape the fairways a little more on those holes. Give that course another year and it'll be perfect!
FYI...Still like Moraine better.

I agree that Moraine is a great course. With the detours at Moraine, I've found myself playing Deer Lakes more often. Last year I was alternating between the 2 every weekend. But this year I've only been to Moraine twice. I think I'll head up there this weekend.

FYI...The Pittsburgh Flying Disc Open is this weekend. Moraine and Knob Hill will be closed for tournament play. I'd still go and spectate. Saturday the Pros will be at Moraine and then Knob Hill on Sunday. We got some top names participating, Nikko, Avery, Nate to name a few. The finals at Knob Hill always draw a crowd, should start around 2ish.

GOOD CALL!! Make that next weekend for Moraine.

If next weekend means the 14th & 15th... maybe consider participating in a trophy only event at Pymatuning on Sunday 15th. Sort of a grand reopening with the eighteen holes being permanently installed - one round $15 includes lunch, funds towards course, etc.

I've played the bolded courses, and agree with the relative ratings - Deer Lakes and Moraine are both top-notch, Knob Hill a step below, with IUP and 2MRX not far behind. If you can't enjoy Deer Lakes and/or Moraine, you must be like Mikey

I like the acknowledgement that I'm stoopid crazy about hyping my course! It's pride, and a sense of wanting to share the uniqueness with others. Every course needs the lead cheerleader. I don't bash others though for a low rating like julio does with flippycity. I'm mostly curious about why they rated low or did not like the course, maybe it's something we can improve on because we have quite a bit of freedom out there. Most of the time I just argue preferences though with other members, or concrete tees.

^^^It will be on January 1st!^^^
Anyone going to Knob this weekend to check out the tourny?
And according to many theories...the center of the universe is a giant sucking black hole......Go Philly!
In all seriousness I had never been to Pittsburgh and felt the courses out there must be overrated BUT TO MY MOST PLEASAN T SURPRISE i TRULY THINK THE COURSES IN THAT REGION ARE VERY UNDERRATED.

Of course...I'm a staff member.
Hopefully I won't be able to watch the finals because I'm playing in it.

If the center of the universe is a giant sucking black hole, that would definitely be Philly!!!
Actually, Love the City...HATE the sports team! Once we get Worlds in Da Burgh, everyone will see on a grand scale what Pittsburgh courses have to offer.

I have never been to a pro tourny. Are you able to walk around and watch different holes/golfers?

Ditto. I plan on going up on Sunday to see the big guns, but I don't really know what to expect once I get there.

You guys are more than welcome to come check it out. There's usually a pretty large crowd following the top card of the finals. Last year I'm guessing we had about 30-40 people following the top card. The crowd went nuts when Avery aced #16. Watch it here...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAAM6UAW-xo
He was down 3 shots before this. He then deuced #18 B-pin (471ft) to tie and won on the first playoff hole. Very exciting stuff.
So definitely come on out and watch the action.

Go pirates. 79 we are family. Lol On a whole though what I am learning is that pa has some great dg. Someone on this site posted honestly that he was from north Carolina and that his state had nothing quite like moraine. I really hope u guys get worlds.
