Here’s one thing I thought I’d never, ever write: Black Mouse DGC was too crowded today, so I headed to DeLa. Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha—ha—ha. Ha. Obviously that was a very ironic situation, since the lack of crowds at peak time is much of what makes Black Mouse great in it’s own right. But today around 2:30, Sof and I ran into a veritable traffic jam on that little course – which doesn’t take much – removing all of its secluded charm.
So we recognized that neither of us was likely to have fun, and we split for DeLa. At least there, the crowds don’t grind play to a complete halt! We hooked up with Jacob and later Tom, and even though we only played 19 holes before dark closed in, it was great.
hey jack. i found your blog while googling for Pinto Lake. do you know how many holes are installed there now? is there a map anywhere or would i be able to figure it out from the parking lot. thanks.
There is nothing great about Black Mouse. The place is acceptable at best. I call it the Rat Maze. Aptos is a hundred times better than the Rat Maze.
i disagree. aptos is waay easier then black mouse. some very nice and fun holes. but a lot of wide open holes with no obstacles in play at all. a -10 at aptos is not as rewarding as a -10 at black mouse.
