The 3 different 9's your can play all throw different challenges at you.. I've been meaning to head out with Paul K (another X5 oldtimer) to play Blackhawk country club but haven't really had a chance to sync up with him. Also went out to North Bay to play Roddy Ranch a couple times about 2 months .. I definitely prefer the well manicured courses with low slope ratings.. but u know how that goes...

We are playing Roddy Tuesday morning. Regarding the Poppy course though, I am not a fan of Hills. I like my course long and fast, Hills greens drove me insane... they were just too slow. IMO, Poppy Ridge and Spyglass are the two toughest test in the bay... but as they say different courses for different horses.
