Corbin Hills : Monday, July 21, 2008 8:40 PM

Lighten up on your negative comments about Corbin Hills. It's been the home of the Rowan Amateur tournament for the past 30 years and guess what.....next year will be the 31st year. If you don't like it...don't play there. I'm a member of Crescent Golf Club but over the last 25 years I've played Corbin at least 100 times and each time I walked in the door Tim, Perry, Jerry, and the rest of the staff have always treated me as if I were one of their members. It's a good local course with a fair green fee. Try paying $65 to play some of the dog tracks in Charlotte and maybe you'll start to appreciate what you have in your own back yard. Keep up the good work guys.

Maybe one of you "great golfers" would rather have this at the Crescent. That would make a lot of goats mad, gettin' in their pasture.

THE COURSE LOOKS GOOD; COMPARED TO WHO, FOXWOOD. I'LL GIVE YOU CREDIT IT MIGHT LOOK BETTER THAN IT DID 10 YEARS, ONLY B/C THE SUPERINTENDENT WORKS HIS A** OFF 24/7. TOURNMENT LIKE THIS NEEDS TOURNMENT CONDITIONS. SHAPE UP OR MOVE IT SOMEWHERE ELSE

To whoever posted What a joke : Monday, July 21, 2008 9:39 AM

Obviously someone has a personal problem with Corbin because the 1st 2nd and 3rd place finishers in the country club of salisbury championship played in the amateur. If you're going to write a comment you should base it on some sort of fact and personal vendettas should be left out of public domain.

what a joke : Monday, July 21, 2008 6:10 AM

corbin hills is by far the biggest joke of a golf course as there is in rowan county. when you think about the people who chose to not play in this years tournament, its pretty sad. where is all of the salisbury country club talent, wheres the younger generation of golfers in the county, etc. think about all the young guys that grew up at corbin hills and now are members somewhere else. wonder why they left??? its pretty obvious.
