Tin Cup is located behind an Italian Restaurant at the intersection of Rt. 1 and Rt. 154. It’s a pretty average course. The people were nice and it generally looked good, but it did have some major flaws. The bricks along the edge of the course are arranged poorly, and the ball ricochets off them in a way that is less than helpful. The mats are also a bit worn and not flat in many places. The tee-off area has the rubber pads, which are not the best place to start because it limits the possible first shot a person can take and creates strange bounces as the ball comes off the mat. There are 2 holes on the course where the putter has the option to put the ball into 2 different holes to advance it to a lower part of the hole. The problem with this is that one of the holes dumps the ball directly into an out-of-bounds area. This would cause the putter to add an extra stroke to put the ball in-bounds. One would have to make sure they investigated where each hole leads before teeing-off. The course does have several hole designs that we had not seen before in adventure style courses and with the use of sand traps and water hazards some of the holes are quite difficult and require much planning for good scores. However, Pat did manage to get his name to the top of the posted leader board with a score of 44. This course would be worth playing if you were in the area, but it’s not worth going out of your way to play.
