Has it really been 40+ years?! I keep doing the math in my head and except for 1 wedding that is how long since I’ve seen Frank.
When I started this adventure he immediately signed up. No questions, no drama.
We had a great time catching up.
Frank is a very good golfer who beat me by 9 strokes. I played Boggie ball with 2 pars and 2 doubles so I wasn’t too displeased. Only lost 1 ball and we managed to beat the rain.
I live about 20 minutes from Raspberry Falls and have played it many times. I worked last Saturday until about 1:30 and wanted to find a nearby course to get out on. I knew Raspberry was just down the road so I went there. The only thing I was worried about was if the course would be open since it was about 35 degrees out and very windy. It was open with a couple people playing according to the pro shop attendant.
I was extremely disappointed to have to pay $55 for the round though. It included the cart but come on, it was the end of January, Saturday at 2PM (not even a primetime hour), cold and windy as heck outside, and the twilight rate is $55. Way too much for my liking. I paid it but was not happy about it.
As a golf course, Raspberry Falls is straight forward golf. Bomb a driver every hole with wide open fairways and hope you do not hit your approach in one of the deep bunkers protecting the green. It is a cool little course but after playing it so much, it gets a little boring. There are many other courses in the area that have much better layouts and are not as expensive. If you have not played Raspberry though, I recommend doing so. It is an above average course.
