Andy Stafford of Baltimore, Maryland says…

“I couldn’t agree more!! #2 is the most overated golf course in the country, #4,7 or 8 are definitely more playable and more diversified. If wasn’t for the greens on #2 almost anyone would find the course an average track.”

R. Turski of Mechanicsville, Virginia says…..

Mr. Wallace is entitled to his opinion and I agree some of his thoughts… especially the green fee. I played there last month for $335 plus $40 for a caddy! While I enjoyed the round/experience I would have to agree that some of the holes were a bit Myrtle Beach-Like and the greens were unlike anything I have ever played - especially 18, 10, 9 and 12. I play the Black course for $41 on weekends. Enough said.

Tripp Davis of Norman, Oklahoma says it is blasphemous to criticize the grand old No. 2.

“This is a learned opinion. #2 is simple from tee to green, but in a complex way. And the greens are very complex, in a simple, in your face way. The writer of this story should do less to criticize and more to raise discussion. I am one who does not think any criticism is a good way to raise good discussion. It must be intelligent criticism based on substance, not style.”
