Has anybody played Blue Sky over on Monument? I get 4 emails a week from them.

Windsor Parke is OK.  Just depends, I've seen wildly varied conditions over there.  Plus there are a couple of house-lined tight fairways that give me the willies.

I hear that Blue Sky has improved.  It had gone to [BLEEP] when it was still Mill Cove.  I haven't played there in years, but I did/do like the layout.

Haha, houses. I hit one on #3 (the dogleg right) at Royal SA pretty hard once and the guy came out yelling at me. My ball was right by his feet so when he was done yelling, I asked for the ball. He picked it up, threw it down the fairway and stormed off while I stifled a good laugh. Same day, on 17, I hit another house and that guy came out yelling too. Looked a little like the first guy and I was tempted to ask if he saw my ball but I didn't.

I've played Blue Sky a few times recently.   It's kind of a treeless tract where it seems like the sun is always in your eyes.   Not a good driving range.  You have to hit off mats and there's no practice putting green, although someone told me they were putting in a synthetic turf putting green.  

It's the easiest course I've played recently.  

There are a couple of holes where the fairway rises up and if your tee shot clears it, you can get a very long roll down towards the green. 

They do serve a very good mushroom swiss burger.   Medium rare, so it drips onto the plate.   Mmmmm....

I really want to get to Blue Sky this summer (I am in StAug June, July, Aug and most of the fall), especially where you say it's fairly easy. I am also retired and play in the low nineties so this sounds good.
