Question:
Hello: My wife and I will be travelling back from Myrtle beach to New England and want to break up the trip by driving roughly half way, stay overnite and play golf. We don’t want to stray too far from I95 (20 miles max). I think we are talking northern Virginia to southern Jersey. I quiet wooded setting or somewhere with a view of the ocean would be great. No condo canyons, please. Email would be great as I am not on this group very often.! Thanks, Dave

Golf on I 95 is characterized by lots of roll if you keep your tees shots down the middle. However, the water stops are a long ways apart, so keep plenty of water with you. Also, the non golf cart traffic is unusually heavy and it travels at a high rate of speed. One tip: Keep a stiff bristled brush handy to get those black stains off the ball. Asphalt ball marks are difficult for the average washer.
sorry, as an ex NJ resident, couldn’t resist.

Just checking to make sure that my postings don’t show up credited to Oracle’s NNTP server anymore. That’s freakin’ annoying. TimT

Beechtree or Bulle Rock in northern Maryland. They are very close to each other, and both just a few miles off of 95. No condos on either, just good golf. I’m not aware of any courses off of 95 with an ocean view. 95 is pretty much landlocked. — John

You need to check out ezlinks.com and play Royal New Kent or Stonehouse. Both are near Williamsburg. Check out http://www.stores.ebay.com/ezlinksteetimes or visit ezlinks.com and click on Virginia in the "Bidding" section. Scroll down and look for both courses. You’ll save about 50% off the regular price. I use this service all the time without a hitch! hj – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Hello: My wife and I will be travelling back from Myrtle beach to New England and want to break up the trip by driving roughly half way, stay overnite and play golf.

Good question. It is a member club of the Delaware State Golf Assoc, although it is definitely a mile or two over the DE border into Pennsylvania. It got Lumpy.

Maybe Rob Martinelli is a member?

If you don’t mind a nice little par 69, 5900 yard muni course, you could try Rock Manor CC which is just north of downtown Wilmington, and you can see the course from I-95. If you want a pretty course, not many of the courses are that pretty, as the drought has taken it’s toll on many. Good luck with your trip.
