350 yard par 4 first hole at Darby Creek Golf Course
We headed out to Darby Creek Golf Course in Marysville, Ohio. I hadn’t been to Darby Creek in ages. Actually, the last time I had been there was for the Beek Open. Normal walking rate on a weekday afternoon is $26. There’s a $3 discount if you book online and print out the coupon to show them. I went with the Divot Card and paid $11. The Divot Card saved me $12. I’ll have to use the Divot Card about six times to break even.
The first hole is a dogleg left. You’d probably be fine with a five or six iron off the tee. It doesn’t play anywhere near the 350 they claim.
Approach to 350 yard par 4 first hole at Darby Creek Golf Course
This green is slightly elevated so if you miss it just right or just left, the ball will take a mean bounce off the mound. My approach hit the left mound and bounced/rolled all the way to the tall stuff resulting in a lost ball and a double bogey. Oh well, so much for easy pars.
