Commentary:

Played this one on a bit of a chilly November day with Sir Douglas of the Jackson’s. I played 37 holes that day, 21 of which came before this round at a course about a mile away called Prairie View. Plum Creek is a nice course, but not terribly interesting either. It has a nice stream running through it and the last 5 or 6 holes are framed around some artificial lakes. 17 is an interesting dogleg- right, that requires a mean stick to carry with any chance for a wedge shot into the green. This is another one I liked and would play if I were nearby, but at $40 bucks for the round it is only an average value, so I doubt I’d play it much. Worth one go, then go play Prairie View or Purgatory.

Here is a rubric for how I would interpret the TCS™

10 – Simply amazing, go play this a.s.a.p.! Are you on your way?!
9 – One of the best, just not spot on "perfect" in every way. Play It!
8 – One of the best courses in the area; well worth the trip to play.
7 – Worth a round if you are within a reasonable distance. Good conditions and interesting layout.
6 – An above average course that is worth your time if you're close by. Should provide a nice round.
5 – An average course. Decent layout, decent conditions, and the value hits the sweet spot. The one to play after work for a quick round. However, it lacks an overall wow factor.
4 – Below average, but moderately interesting in places.
3 – A poor course. Conditions are pretty bad but the cost of a round usually outweighs the conditions. Play with your friends who are too cheap to pay for a better round of golf.
2 – Bad, but playable. Play it when you need some practice before spending $$$ on a "better" course.
1 – A very bad course, but often has a deal you can't pass up (e.g., I have played a few like this; got 18 and a cart for only $5, yeah, I'd play about anything for that too).
0 – The only way I'd "play" this course if it was in my backyard and it was free. I mean who turns down a free "driving range" which is all that this "course" is good for, not for golf but to hit balls at and forget about.
