The founders of MK-USA love to golf. We also love to drink good booze, eat good food and cast judgement on all of the above. Below you will find our review of some of the courses we have visited including food, drinks, vibe and obviously the round of golf. Go knuckle deep.
First visit to Brooksville Golf & Country Club did not impress. The drive in to the parking lot is riddled with potholes and broken speed bumps which can be said for most of the greens here as well. The pro shop was basic and didn't have a ton of merch but had a decent selection of balls and snacks but not much more although the gentleman behind the counter was nice and seemed like he enjoyed being there. The course is a little less than what you would expect from a $45 round on a Monday afternoon but it has a lot of potential to be a good round of golf. We met the starter on hole 1 where he abruptly told us we were 2 minutes late and to hurry up but there was a foursome only 200 yards down the fairway. What a doucher. Go clean out some golf carts or something. The front 9 is a typical Florida course that you've played hundreds of times with fairways meandering through old oak trees, lined with homes and sometimes grass-less fairways that switch back and forth eventually dumping you back at the clubhouse for a beer and a hot dog. The upstairs bar was a nice setup. The bartender was quick with a beer and a shot, easy on the eyes and had a moose knuckle type attitude for sure. The back 9 is a different story. There is wonderful elevation changes, beautiful rock quarry walls line a hold that drops easily 40 feet below the tee box. There is a drive-able par 4 that gives you options to lay up an iron or cut the corner over a dry gully to land on the postage stamp size green. The back 9 saved this course from being a 1 star course. Go knuckle deep.
Scotland Yards holds a special place in my moose knuckle past because this is the course I learned to play in my high school days. Back then it was just a janky old course in the middle of a pasture with some orange groves in the middle of it. It has recently been purchased by a local pro and has been transformed into a place to play a wonderful round and kick back a few at the 19th. The pro shop is well stocked with essentials including a beer fridge with coolers and ice you can borrow for your cart because its not golf without a cooler full of frosties. Its a nice touch. The course is in much better shape than it was in the late 90's but could still use some TLC but overall the tee boxes were well taken care of. the greens were all green grass and played a little differently for each hole. The fairways for the most part were in great shape. If you're a 90+ golfer like us then you will end up hitting from someone else's fairway by the end of the day, no doubt but still a fun round for $35. The 19th has a good Scotland vibe with dark wood walls and a good selection of whiskey and beer. Seems like a good place to kill a few hours. Go knuckle deep.
Silver Dollar is what it is, a mediocre Florida course that could be a lot better than it is. The greens were in great shape, even changing from slow sticky feeling in the morning to dry and fast by the afternoon. Some of these greens were challenging simply because of their size. Hole #1 on the Gator course starts off with a green you can almost lay down and touch both sides. The downside to this course is the fairways or lack of. There are some holes where you can't tell where the fairway ends and the rough begins because its all the same, hard packed dirt with a scattering of crabgrass. The tee boxes were also lacking. Some of them were so chewed up we thought there was a wild hog problem. The groundskeepers were out fertilizing the tee boxes but really should have been seeding them. The clubhouse\bar had the look of a good time but you have to wade past quite a few 70 year old locals talking about the weather to make it to the bar. Cold beer and average food were the only reason this place scored a 5. Cold beer brings it all back around no matter how rickety the course is. Go knuckle deep.
Meadow Oaks golf & CC in Hudson, FL was a pleasant surprise. Not like winning a good lottery jackpot but more like seeing the chubby girls titties in the bar after losing a chugging contest. It puts a smile on your face because you enjoy a good pair of utters but you're still in a shitty bar and you lost overall. The course was in good shape. The greens played well and once they dried out, were fairly quick. The fairways and tee boxes were also in good shape but all of this is overshadowed by the fact that you're in Hudson, FL. I'm sure their are nice places in Hudson but, like Santa Clause, I ain't never seen them. The clubhouse was older than Moses. If you want a snack at the turn, they have roller dogs ready to go which is awesome. Other than that, its a pretty standard Florida course. Not spectacular, not a dump. Unfortunately for this course it sits in the middle of a dump. The Hudson dump. Go knuckle deep....just wash afterwards because you were in Hudson.
Drive on by this abandoned shithole. Go knuckle deep, but not here.
