I just finished up my practice round for the final event of this series and I'm glad I did. This course is definitely the tougher of the three we've played so far. It seems The Woodlands offers two types of golf courses. "The Oaks", which we played last week, was certainly more forgiving...especially off the tee. "Panther Trail", the one we're playing tomorrow, requires much more precision. It felt like there was water in play on every hole. Length wise, it's almost identical to the other two, but this course forces you to hit more irons and 3-woods off the tee to keep the ball in play. If there isn't water guarding each hole, then there's woods and/or houses lining the fairways. I'm going to need a solid performance out of my long game this week.
The greens are maybe a little smaller of the three courses we've played, but still offer the same amount of slope and undulation. They're not quite as fast as Lake Windcrest, but still quick enough to make you be careful.
Unfortunately, the weather we saw today is going to be short-lived. The forecast for tomorrow is rain in the early afternoon while a front moves through and then freezing temperatures into Friday morning. My tee time tomorrow is 11:10 so I'm just hoping to get in as many holes as possible before the weather turns bad. Hopefully, I can build of the success of this past tournament and keep the momentum going.
