Covered Bridge Golf Club - The House That Fuzzy Built

I had the good fortune to go play Covered Bridge (again) a few days ago.

I used to live down the road and have played there at least 20 times. Probably more.

And, yes, they have a covered bridge, you can see it on their site and in their logo.

Fuzzy has built a heck of a golf course and an even better 19th hole ! They absolutely have the best food you’ve ever had at a golf course and some of the best I’ve ever had at a restaurant. On chicken dinner nite, people come from miles around to Fuzzy’s Place.

The course has zoysia fairways and great greens. It’s got fair landing areas and it’s pretty fair around the greens, too.

As any golf development with houses, they are too many and they are too close, but that’s part of the deal. Fuzzy and his partners ain’t in this for the good of humanity.

With those houses that close, you’ve got what we all hate about American golf courses…OB !

Way too much of it here for my liking, but if you don’t stray very far off center, you won’t care.

The first coupla holes were mine for the taking, on this day, but the rest of the track whipped my butt. My cellphone going off every few minutes didn’t help matters. Something about a van broke down and my wife and daughters stranded on the side of the road. Messes up your round. Or it does mine.

The course is normally in great shape spring thru fall. Greens are big enough and well maintained. Zoysia fairways rock, in my book !

The rough is a little intense, but if I was arrow straight, I wouldn’t know.

The carts are great, fairly new, with GPS. A real plus, in my yardage book.

The starters and Pro Shop personnel are nice and informative.

The Pro Shop is well stocked.

The clubhouse is a thing of beauty. I’ve only seen a few that could stand up to it.

Plenty of yardage markers and with the GPS, you can’t use that as an excuse.

They’ve got Stay-N-Play Golf Packages, so call today and set up a long weekend or more.

If you do, gimme a shout, as I’m not that far away.

Let me tell you, sitting in the dining room, waiting on some great food and looking out at the 9th & 18th greens and fairways is a site you’ll remember for a long, long time.

Go by their website and then call ‘em up and set up a great golf experience.

Tell ‘em Mike sent you !

PS - when you see Fuzzy, tell him the Big Dawg sez ‘Hey !’

I not only played there every few weeks for 7 years, I was a member of New Albany Country Club, where he started his golfing life.
