On Friday afternoon, July 30, a capacity group of 60 Carolina Colours Golf Club members and special guests participated in a shot gun afternoon blitz to open the front 9 of the course.    After watching the course construction for the past 18 months, anticipation was high, and with good reason.  The tee complexes were universally found to be exceptional, while the greens rolled true.  With six teeing grounds, players could chose their ideal length, hoping to avoid the bermuda rough, which was gnarly.  Scores were all over the board, but appreciation of the layout was widespread.  Most of the players teed it up again Saturday and or Sunday.  Many of the players toured the back 9, which is a truly beautiful site in the midst of the woods and wetlands, and now eagerly await its opening this fall.

Many players remarked on the balance of the holes on the front.  With two 3’s, one short and one long; two 5’s, with very different challenges and opportunities; and five 4’s, long, medium and short, no two holes play alike, but all feel a part of a well designed whole.

With cocktails and diner at the clubhouse following golf,  the good times continued into the evening.  Truly a remarkable and memorable day in the on going history of Carolina Colours.
