mschmuff Posted July 18, 2015 Report Posted July 18, 2015 Looking for some new courses to play in the North East!! Does anyone have suggestions for places I can fly in, NOT need a rental car, and that's within 150-175 miles of Baltimore or Philly. Quote
Loogie Posted July 18, 2015 Report Posted July 18, 2015 The Homestead resort? Heard good things... Quote
eman1200 Posted July 18, 2015 Report Posted July 18, 2015 Hhmm, not need a rental? I'd be interested to hear this as well.... Quote
midlifeflyer Posted July 18, 2015 Report Posted July 18, 2015 Seems to me there used to be a website or app that had a search for fly-in golf courses. But it seems to be gone; can't even Google one. Quote
Shadrach Posted July 18, 2015 Report Posted July 18, 2015 Nemacolin http://www.nemacolin.com/ Try using adventurepilot.com You can search for everthing from airshows to waterskiing. Adventurepilot screenshot.tiff Quote
Raptor05121 Posted July 18, 2015 Report Posted July 18, 2015 A little far from NE, but Hilton Head or Saint Simmons come to mind ... this. KMYR would be closer. 1 Quote

midlifeflyer Posted July 19, 2015 Report Posted July 19, 2015 Mountain Airhttp://www.mountainaircountryclub.com (Not certain if a membership is required.) Mountain Air requires permission to land and, due to a number of accidents on approach over the years, permission generally requires an invitation and discussion with one off their pilots. I think the invitation to come and play is probably easier than the permission to land. My landing at Mountain Air: https://youtu.be/T-hszP7P9GE 2 Quote

orionflt Posted July 19, 2015 Report Posted July 19, 2015 Butter valley golf port in PA, near KUKT Brian 1 Quote
carusoam Posted July 19, 2015 Report Posted July 19, 2015 Brian's suggestion above... http://www.buttervalley.com/airport.htm 1500' paved section of the runway... I think I have seen it, but did not fly in... Best regards, -a- Quote
eman1200 Posted July 19, 2015 Report Posted July 19, 2015 Mountain air has a flyin event coming up I think in sept I was thinking of going to,then when I saw they had gold there I got very interested Quote
Shadrach Posted July 19, 2015 Report Posted July 19, 2015 I'd like to land there some day. I think reading these first is a good start... There are 14 incidents/accidents listed in the NTSB Database for Burnsville NC Only 2 Mooneys - one substantially damages and the other completely consumed. Both were pilots that had landed there before... http://www.ntsb.gov/_layouts/ntsb.aviation/brief.aspx?ev_id=20060726X01018&key=1&queryId=b47ea47f-0da4-4182-be9e-9add0ff9ca59&pgsize=200 http://www.ntsb.gov/_layouts/ntsb.aviation/brief.aspx?ev_id=20020925X05210&key=1&queryId=97bdf66d-59f7-45ae-94a7-ae9f31092c01&pgno=1&pgsize=200 Quote

Marauder Posted July 19, 2015 Report Posted July 19, 2015 Check out Loch Nairn near N57. Some Cheap Bast$&d Marauder guy would make sure you had a ride there. It is about 2 miles from the airport. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote
ArtVandelay Posted July 19, 2015 Report Posted July 19, 2015 There is the Airport Golf Course in Columbus,OH. Quote
Hank Posted July 19, 2015 Report Posted July 19, 2015 There is the Airport Golf Course in Columbus,OH. Right under the approach end to 27. My first time there, with almost 100 hours total time, Tower had me fly an airliner pattern, and as I was desperately trying to slow to gear speed over the golf course, they asked me to keep my speed up, "there's a 737 behind you." Without thinking, I answered back that I needed to slow down to get the gear down. I actually added throttle after touchdown to make the high speed exit at 3000' (I was based at a 3000' field!).

midlifeflyer Posted July 20, 2015 Report Posted July 20, 2015 The 32 runway looks like it slops upward, or is that just an optical illusion? It slopes upward. It is also, like many mountain airports, one with opposite direction traffic. Land of 32, takeoff on 14. The slope is one of the reasons. It also helps for both takeoff and landing given the 2900' length and 4432' msl altitude (just under 7,000' D-Alt as of the time I write this) Not quite the Rocky Mountain west, but doing performance calculations is important. non-HP Mooneys, for all their attributes, are not know as great takeoff performers.

Rszent Posted August 6, 2015 Report Posted August 6, 2015 Fell like an island adventure as well Try Fishers Island NY 0B8 neat island great course walking distance from the airport Quote
ryoder Posted August 6, 2015 Report Posted August 6, 2015 If in Florida Zephyyrhills municipal sits SW or runway 5 so you can watch traffic on short final while golfing. Quote
Amelia Posted August 6, 2015 Report Posted August 6, 2015 Not exactly a Saturday morning trip from the NE, but the Hangar Hotel bellhop met me at Fredericksburg, TX with a golf cart, offered to take my luggage to my room, so I could take the cart and get right on the golf course on the other side of the runway. Um, no thanks... I passed 'golf' in college by the very skin of my teeth, (aced the written) and haven't touched a club since. It did seem like a very attractive option for those more coordinated than I. Also landed for fuel at a tiny airport in the SW corner of Kansas, and the closest unlocked restroom was the adjacent and very pretty golf course. The pleasant golf-guy in charge cordially hoped we'd brought our clubs. So, should you decide to go further afield, the opportunities abound. Quote
mooneyman Posted August 6, 2015 Report Posted August 6, 2015 French Lick Resort http://www.frenchlick.com has three golf courses. The Pete Dye course hosted the Senior PGA Championship this year and is pricey but awesome! The resort runs a shuttle to and from French Lick Municipal Airport (KFRH). Arcadia Bluffs https://arcadiabluffs.com is an awesome course along Lake Michigan. Resort will ususally pick you up at Manistee Airport (KMBL). Quote
ArtVandelay Posted August 17, 2015 Report Posted August 17, 2015 For those in Florida (X26), from airport website http://www.sebastianairport.org/ Fly in to the Sebastian Municipal Airport and play a round of golf at our great new "fly-in" discounted rate for airport users. The Airport has golf carts available on the ramp outside the Administration Building on the southeast side of the Airport. Contact The Community Development Director/City Engineer/Airport Manager Frank Watanabe at 772-388-8228 or E-mail fwatanabe@cityofsebastian.org for cart reservations. You can take the cart directly from the ramp to the adjacent Municipal Golf Course. 1 Quote
