| - I'm at the practice range on this course pretty regularly and I have played my fair share of rounds here so I have to say, Continental is good for the following reasons:
1. It is literally a two minute drive from my house, which means I can get there quickly at the end of the day for a quick session on the range, or to squeeze in a tee time at the last moment if I'm feeling frisky.
2. Perfect for taking people out who are new to golf, or the player that is self conscious about their game for a relatively easy round. Also, it makes for quicker time around the course for the cart girls!
3. Water is present on a few holes, giving you that "watch out for that damn water, you gone' git wet" factor which makes it seem more challenging than it really is, especially off of the tee on 18 where Glover's Pond is in play for anyone with a wicked slice (or hook, if you're a southpaw).
4. Affordable range prices ($7 for a medium bucket) and a good range in general. Also, they have a decent putting green and a pretty good chipping area for working on your short game.
5. Night golf. Yep you read that correctly, they have night golf if you want to reserve it for an event. I highly encourage looking into it if you're interested in a great group activity.
Slow pace of play and loud golf carts (annoying, really) are the negatives I take away from this course...oh and the Driving Range is closed on Monday's (what the heck?). Other than that, get out and play Continental if you need to scratch the itch to swing the sticks but don't have the time, patience, or cash flow to play a longer and more challenging track.
