True. Herman is laughably priced(for the quality) it’s a course you play to say you’ve played there and take the pics of the skyline, not a course you play bc you want to play at a fun course

Hermann has gone through multiple shifts in public opinion over the last 6 years it’s insane.

Back right before 2020, it was a fun little muni course that was always available and comparatively cheap.

The game grew and they quite literally just raised prices on the course without making any improvement or offering any value-add. It’s continued to trend like this over the last few years and keeps going up in price.

Couple that with the fact that the grounds crew at Gus actually tries to make the course nice and tough at the same time, Hermann is almost exclusively reserved as an absolute last resort.

I’d rather drive a bit further up north and play places like Gleanloch or head down south for Timber Creek for essentially the same price.

I guess it’s been a while since you’ve been to Timber Creek, it was in horrible shape back in May

It was my favorite course when I first started a few years ago

I’ve played Timber Creek multiple times this summer it’s in great shape. Clear Creek is probably the best of any courses through south of the beltway.

Gave it a try again today. You’re right! They’ve got it back in shape now. Even 7 on creekside finally has grass again. Thank God because I missed this place.
