		<description>Jay, Thank you for your kind comments on Murder Rock. However I wanted to inform you that John Daly did not actually design the golf course, and his name was recently removed from the name of the property.  Murder Rock Golf Club has been rated Best New Courses of 2010 and a top 5 golf course in the state of Missouri by Golfweek Magazine and a Best Course You Can Play in 2011.   Plus the course has a terrific plantation like clubhouse featuring a resturant with views of the Ozarks. and as you might have guessed, yes I work for the management company.  The course conditions were stellar in 2011 so I&#039;m not sure when your last visit was but we hope you have the opportunity to come out and join us again in 2012.  Thanks for visiting Murder Rock Golf Club. ;)</description>

		<description>If you are in Branson you must make the 50 mile drive to Mt Home Ark and play Big Creek. One great layout, and under played. Well worth the trip. The Ramada Inn has a nice breakfast with each nights stay, and a health club affiliation right down the street that works out really well. (Pardon the pun). For a culinary treat try Jerry&#039;s Pizza, they have the biggest variety of Pizza you will find anywhere and all good. Great after a round or two at Big Creek.</description>

		<description>Dear Punkrockgolfpro

Thanks for your comments regarding the Dormie Club. The concept for the Forelinksters website is a Wikipedia of sorts for golf courses where golfers publish the content, and it&#039;s verified and critiqued by other golfers who&#039;ve played the golf courses and publish their reviews and ratings. Based on your comments we evaluated the original review of the Dormie Club by one of our members, and found the review is  fairly representative of the Dormie Club. Here&#039;s a review of the course from the Dormie&quot;s website:

Green and bunker designs and features are remarkably varied, creating shot values and playability, without forced carries.   Most of the greens lay flat, just like old golf courses, appearing very uncomplicated.   But, look at the designs and look at the shot requirements.  They are phenomenal. Lots of small, old-fashioned bunkers which integrate naturally with the grasses. The areas that surround the fairways are filled with sandy soil, pine straw, native grasses and fescues. Firm and fast playing conditions will allow for a variety of shots to be played into and around the well-manicured greens. The wooded property, which has two natural lakes and sandy soil, has more elevation change and wider variety of flora than its famous neighbor.

Also, just fyi, here&#039;s the definition of a parkland style of golf course from Golf Digest:

&quot;A parkland course is a golf course in a lush, inland setting, one with well-manicured and watered fairways and rough and greens. There might be plenty of elevation change around such a course, but even if there is, a parkland course&#039;s fairways are generally flat, lacking the knobs and knolls and weird bounces of links fairways. A parkland course is usually in a treed landscape, fairways often tree-lined.&quot;

Hope this helps, please keep providing your feedback.  Cheers!</description>

		<description>Whoever wrote the review of The Dormie Club is grossly misinformed.  The greens are not even close to flat, it is not a parkland style course - no two fairways are parallel to each other, the definition of parkland.  It sounds like the person who wrote this piece did not play the course.  Golfweek rated it 3rd best new public or private in the last 2 calendar years and it is ranked 48th for best new modern golf course since 1960.  Do your homework and try again.</description>
