Cambridge Golf Course Revisited

I recently had the great pleasure to revisit the golf links at Cambridge Golf Course just north of Evansville, Indiana.

The wind was blowing VERY strong, maybe 20-25 MPH and it was bright and sunny.

The greens were in tremendous shape after their recent aerification, which I could only guess at, not see.

Tony has the zoysia fairways in perfect shape, the rough, which I only heard about, never really saw, must have gone south for the year.

The tee boxes are as good as some greens I’ve played this year.

The maintenance staff was very friendly and never interferred with our play. I can’t blame the piss-poor 80 I shot on them. My friend Rob Condo, from Louisville, shot a smooth 73.

The best part of the day was catching up to Ray Wright, the owner, in the grill room. Mr. Wright is as gracious as any southern gentleman I’ve ever met and his ownership and guidance these last 3 years ( or so ) have taken this course off life support and put it at the top of my favorite courses to play.

Heath and his staff in the pro shop are very friendly and they even remembered my name from my last visit.

The new clubhouse is as impressive as the great ones like at Muirfield Village and Troon.

The views from up high, of the southern Indiana countryside are regal and relaxing.

If you get anywhere near Evanville and need a player, email me and I’ll be glad to join you for one of the tri-state’s best golf experiences.

Thanks to everyone that made mine and Rob’s day.
