Does any know if the Course Guide book is available?

Don't know, Trung.
But I have printed out their hole guides from their website.
Not really. I have done the same for a social round.Originally Posted by BrisVegas
I don't like playing a course blind if I don't have to.
Now I know when there is a hidden creek running across the hole.
I rang the proshop. They have it there. However, the book is 5 years old and there are some changes since then.
I emailed the club about 2 weeks ago and asked if a yardage book was available.
I haven't received a reply so I took that as a no.

It's more likely that they don't check the email.Originally Posted by senecio

Guys, both courses have measurements on sprinkler heads. A word of caution about the distance pegs which on most courses are 100m & 150m. The last time I played there 5 months ago, CTH still had them at imperial measurements. That is, the furtherest distance peg is actually 150 yards which is about 135 m.
Watch out for that one.
Also, keep your ball on the fairway. The West course is a little more open than the River course but still has some tight places and hidden lateral hazards.
I hope the wind stays calm. When the wind blows, the River course especially plays tough.
Hi Davidp,Originally Posted by davidp
Markers on sprinker heads are in "m" and the distance pegs are in "yards".
Is that correct?
I'll be right for yardages, I'll just use the Bushnell if thats OK with everybody

Yep, that's correct. Just check out the card when you get it from the pro shop. It will confirm the distance pegs for you. I don't know why they didn't move the distance markers when everything went metric. It's just one of the quaint things about the course.Originally Posted by Trung
What you call "quaint", I call "stupid". Why would they not move them? Laziness? Why should we have to learn a conversion rate to play this course?Originally Posted by davidp
the course aint that old (well most if not all of the holes anyway)Originally Posted by davidp
I was being polite. A rough rule for converting yards to metres is take 10% off the yards, and get metres. eg 150 yards = 135 metres. 100 yards = 90 metres, 569 yards = 512.10 metres.Originally Posted by AndyP
blakey, most of the course was built prior to 1969. Some mods since then such as the 18th of the River course was shortened and moved away from the river.
