After playing a round at Pheasant Ridge Golf Course near Butler, Pennsylvania, and later discussing the various perks and challenges of the course with my wife, Amy, it occurred to me that we each have differing opinions as to what constitutes a great golf course. Many who are fortunate enough to have a spouse or significant other that also enjoys this great game of golf may have encountered similar situations.While we ultimately concurred that Pheasant Ridge was, indeed, a fairly nice course for the price, we continue to have differences of opinion - course length, speed and slope of the greens, number of fairway bunkers, length of the rough, etc. - all which contribute to our overall enjoyment of a round of golf.
With that in mind, we are setting out, via this blog, to chronicle the experiences we have at the various golf courses we play. At a minimum, we hope to reflect on these posts as we plan upcoming excursions. And at best, we'll be able to provide similar couples with our perspective on the courses they'd most enjoy.
Our current focus will be on reviews of Western Pennsylvania golf courses; however, we are taking a week-long trip to the Pinehurst, NC area in June, which should surely provide some interesting fodder for this forum. We'll also be playing some courses in Caanan Valley, WV in August as part of a family reunion (no, we are not from WV), but plans are still tentative.
Thank you for reading, and please do feel free to make any recommendations and share your favorite couple's golf experiences.

Hey, Jared! So, neither Eric nor I golf...Eric has done it a couple of times, but it was more of a joke than anything serious. Anyway, I thought that it would be fun to follow your blog - maybe we will try out golfing as a couple someday and your blog will provide great insight as to where we should start!! :o) Love you, Cuz!

This blog is great! I'm curious to hear what you both think about some of the courses, I have a feeling I'll probably be agreeing with Amy more than you though! Haha! Can't wait to hear about the course you go to this weekend!
