Alright, so the other day I finally got around to checking out the Olympia Fields South Course. I’d heard some talk about it and, you know, being a bit of a golf nut, I had to see it for myself. First thing I did was hop on my phone and just get a feel for the place online. I found this neat feature where you can look at an interactive map, it’s pretty cool, you get an aerial view of each hole, and it even gives you the GPS distance. That got me pretty pumped to actually play.
Next, I dug a little deeper. Found out some key info like the course description, tee yardages, par, and handicaps – the usual stuff. There was even a scorecard and contact info, which is always handy. This helped me get a better idea of what I was in for, you know, difficulty-wise and all that.
Before I headed out, I also watched this free video series I stumbled upon. It was all about planning your strategy and visualizing your round. Honestly, it was a bit basic, but hey, it got me in the right mindset. Plus, it was free, so can’t really complain.
- Getting There: Finding the place was easy enough. Just punched it into my GPS and it took me right there.
- Playing the Course: I brought my phone along to keep track of distances and scores. The interactive map I saw earlier really came in handy here. I could plan my shots a little better.
- Overall Experience: It was a solid day of golf. The course was in good shape, and the layout was pretty challenging. I definitely felt like I got a good workout.
Final Thoughts
It was a good day. I mean, I got to play a new course, and using those online tools beforehand definitely made the whole experience smoother. If you’re thinking about playing at Olympia Fields South Course, I’d say do a little digging online first. It’ll help you out, for sure. And that free video series, while a little simple, it might be worth a quick watch.
