Wasted Real Estate
Just in from the annual Rotary District 7690 golf tournament played at Tot Hill Farm outside Asheboro. This tournament features some pretty good golf with great fellowship among service-oriented citizens in central NC.
What a misuse of real estate Tot Hill Farm is. The course is designed by Mike Strantz, who is well known for designing courses that are beautiful to look at, but terrible to play. This course is built on a magnificent piece of property, but it is not much of a golf course.
Brick walls in the middle of the fairways. Three-tiered greens. Blind shots. When you tee it up at this course, you find out what golf on shrooms is like.
