But when you&#8217;ve played as many as I have, they all tend to blend together &#8211; fairways, greens and traps meld with each other as if they were all part of some impressionist painting &#8211; only when I step back and take-in the big picture do courses&#8217; most striking features reveal themselves.<\/p>\n<p>But this time of year in the northeastern U.S., the golf season is winding down. Some of my golfing buddies have already stowed their clubs till spring. Even I find myself scaling back; playing 9-holes more frequently. And usually when I play 9-holes, it&#8217;s at one place that I never forget about: Sleeping Giant Golf Course.<\/p>\n<p>I think every town or region has a Sleeping Giant Golf Course. If it doesn&#8217;t, it should. Sleeping Giant is the quintessential local 9-hole golf track: it&#8217;s short, but not an executive layout. It&#8217;s well-groomed but not Augusta. It&#8217;s a confidence booster but taking risks can hurt you. The price is nice, but not pathetically nice. <\/p>\n<p>Perhaps one asset the course has over some of its 18-hole brethren is its scenery. The course is nestled in the shadows of, well&#8230;the Sleeping Giant &#8211; a formation of hills that &#8220;resemble&#8221; a person sleeping on their back. Native tribes of the area used to call the Giant &#8220;Hobbomock&#8221; and thought it to be an evil spirit. Coupled with the Native American folklore, the Giant sets a dramatic backdrop to the course &#8211; especially this time of year, when he is ablaze with oranges, reds and yellows (see photo at top).<\/p>\n<p>Despite being pretty close to civilization, Sleeping Giant Golf Course gives you the feeling that you&#8217;re miles away from anywhere. Usually I&#8217;ll arrive with one other playing partner (many times my dad, who&#8217;s in his 70&#8217;s and still playing) and we&#8217;ll be paired up with other father\/son or father\/daughter combos. It seems no matter who you&#8217;re paired with, or if you run into a wait on a particular hole (typically the 7th &#8211; a short par-4 where everyone goes for the green but ends up in the left woods) you still find yourself completely enjoying the round.<\/p>\n<p>I had my first eagle at Sleeping Giant (dropped a wedge-shot from 125 yards); played the last two holes in the dark multiple times; and almost parred the course&#8230;twice &#8211; only to miss the same 4-foot putt both damn times on the 9th (a brief aside &#8211; typically I don&#8217;t shoot anywhere near par, but I know this course so well, not-to-mention it&#8217;s a relatively easy track, that if I&#8217;m on my game, I have a chance).<\/p>\n<p>Sleeping Giant Golf Course embodies so many great little tracks out there. The PGA Tour (or even the Hooters Tour) will laugh at the notion of playing there; the Golf Digest or Golf Magazine top course lists will never give it a second thought (or even an initial thought); but you know it exists. And you love it. And that&#8217;s all that matters. <\/p>\n<p>If you reside where it&#8217;s about to get cold; get in the car and go play <i>that<\/i> course (you know the one I&#8217;m talking about). Oh, and forget about your score and just enjoy &#8211; take a step back and take it all in&#8230;remember, this is why we play golf.<\/span><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m a public course man &#8211; my golf &#8220;high&#8221; comes from playing different places every week.
