Best Courses To Play On Trackman Golf - Part 2
The Reserve at Moonlight Basin
At 7,200 feet above sea level, this Jack Nicklaus design in Montana starts on a 430-yard par 4… that is drivable. It will be difficult to adjust to how far the ball is flying as Trackman adjusts for elevation, but the prospect of hitting 400-yard drives off mountains as the routing takes you up and down over 1,000 feet of total elevation change is the perfect atmosphere for a low-key setting to play a match or settle a bet.
Wilshire Golf Club
A regular stop on the LPGA Tour makes you realize how good they actually are… Wilshire’s greens are weirdly shaped and off rarely flat lies, they become difficult to get it close. The golf course is shorter than some of the other selections on here, meaning those good players might want to add difficult pins to the game settings prior, but this is a blast to see how good your short irons are, especially in contrast to the LPGA (hint: they do not compare).
Sebonack Golf Club
The modern-style golf courses with big fairways and oversized greens (with the insane contour in the actual surface) are a great way to play golf in Trackman because generally, there are few water hazards or Out of Bounds in play. At Sebonack, Tom Doak and Jack Nicklaus collaborate for some awesome green complexes that make things interesting chipping and getting the ball close.
Trinity Forest Golf Club
Where Tom Doak goes (Sebonack), Bill Coore & Ben Crenshaw are around. Likewise, this list, would not be complete without Trinity Forest. The PGA TOUR really fumbled the Bryon Nelson here, soaking out the golf course and not letting it play as it should, but you do not have to make the same mistake: put the fairways on firm, the greens on firm, and enjoy this experience.
Gozzer Ranch Golf & Lake Club
Gozzer Ranch is popular when people discuss Tom Fazio’s best design. A loop around on Trackman showcases why. Strategic charm on holes like the drivable par 4, 7th, interesting green complexes set atop hillsides or down low between rock outcroppings, and gorgeous vistas of Lake Coeur d’Alene await. Par 5’s and a drivable par 4’s at elevation only increase the fun factor.
