That short course at Chechessee is going to get a ton of play in the winter. It can get pretty hard to squeeze in 36 in a day there at that time of year, having the short course options are going to be great for extending your day after playing 18.

Have heard good things but haven't been there myself!

Thank you! I was looking at Keney Park down in CT. Looked interesting as a Devereux-Ross

Crumpin Fox is the answer to the specific question, and Taconic if willing to drive an hour each way.

Curious to hear more about this. These days, I'm almost surprised when a new course—especially of the "destination" (private or public) variety—*does* have returning nines.

I think the idea that this course does not have returning nines is pretty interesting. I wonder what the story is there.

This question may be too late in the queue for an answer on a podcast, but was not sure where else to post it. As a general matter, if you are visiting a new place and have an afternoon to get out for a round of golf, what factors do you weigh in deciding where to play? Assuming the location has no "notable" courses, are there things you can look at to say "this course might be interesting and thought provoking"? I ask because I am headed to "Northampton, MA" and have an afternoon. I appreciate you all!

It's very possible that Kettle Forge is a success if they can draw from the folks in the uber expensive Florida clubs looking for a summer escape. I don't think it will work, I predict eventual bankruptcy and emergence as another $500 public course, but we will see! More new golf courses > less new golf courses
