I like the course as well(other than the 3rd hole which is always in terrible shape). It had just dried up enough to start mowing when we played, so it's probably pretty nice now.

So you are complaining about Franklin Valley, but you decide to go play Big Beaver? That place is a mess.

Has anyone played Big Blue at UK? We are going down there two weeks from Saturday and was curious what I was getting into.

Wasn't my choice, some friends asked me to go. The only two holes that are constantly a mess are 3 and 15, other than that, I've seen the course in really good shape.

I just want a general idea, the difference between 143 and 144 is not going to affect my club choice.

Agreed. But I wasted money on golflogix before for the convenience and it was sometimes dead on with a laser and sometimes 15 yards off. It couldn't trust it. And yeah....50 ft does make a difference

About halfway thru last summer golf logix numbers were around 10 yards off from what I could tell compared to the course markers so I stopped using it. After a couple software updates to both phone and golf logix I tried it last week and it appeared to be much more accurate. Its not going to be exact but it will be close enough for most golfers on here.

I use one called SkyDroid and at almost every course I play it is about as accurate as I could imagine it being. There are one or two courses where it is definitely off but usually it's really good. Got it for free from the Amazon app store so not sure what it costs but I enjoy it.

I only paid for the first year. I don't know what happened but I haven't paid anything again. I have full access and everything.

I also haven't had any real issues with bandages being way off. I like it.


Edit...I was thinking it was a yearly membership lol at myself.

Also, just looked it up. It's $19.99 to be a Champion Member, which is the Premium Membership.
