Sunbrook Golf Course, St George Utah

Best Golf Equipment Reviews has had the chance to play Sunbrook golf course in St. George, Utah two times this past week. Sunbrook golf course features three nine holes; The Pointe, The Blackrock, and The Woodridge. All three nine holes are very unique and fun to play. The Pointe is hillier and features some amazing views and golf holes at higher elevations. The Blackrock is situated around the lava rocks that have flowed into the valley and more of a target style course. The Woodridge is very traditional with a little more room to play with. It also features an island par 3 green that is a great hole.
Sunbrook golf course is located by the Green Valley day spas. That makes it perfect for all you men who want to play some golf while treating your wife to a Swedish massage or one of the many other day spa treatments.

One of the biggest surprises about Sunbrook is that it is a city municipal golf course. Best Golf Equipment Reviews loved this golf course. It was a great challenge and in very good shape. All three nines were fun to play and we had no complaints about them. The greens were amazing and so were the fairways. For being 110 degrees right now the fairways looked amazing and were very good to hit off. We were playing our new Callaway golf clubs and Callaway golf balls and couldn’t have been happier with the results!

Best Golf Balls

Before Best Golf Equipment Reviews gets into this best golf balls review, we must apologize for the time between the last post and tonight’s post. We have been so busy with two of our newest sites, a best web hosting site and a site dedicated to finding the best merchant accounts. We got hooked on those two topics when setting up Best Golf Equipment Reviews that we thought it would be fun to write about those. On to today’s golf equipment review!!!

There are so many golf balls out there that it can be hard to find out which one is the best for you. We have broken this golf ball review down to three categories; Low, Mid, and High handicap golf balls. That way you can find the category you fit into and get the best golf ball you can!

Low handicap golf balls- There are a lot of golf balls out there designed for the low handicap players. The Titleist Pro V1 is very popular but Best Golf Equipment Reviews loves the Callaway Tour ix golf balls. They are very durable and have a ton of spin to them. It is not uncommon for you to play an entire round of golf with a single Callaway Tour ix golf ball. Best Golf Equipment Reviews is excited because we have a dozen of the new Callaway Tour i golf balls on order and can’t wait to try those out.  You can never go wrong with Callaway golf balls.

Mid handicap golf balls- This could be the hardest one to choose because mid handicap players can hit some good shots and desire some of the best golf ball features. The Titleist NXT Tour golf ball is a great choice. It has a slightly harder cover for added distance but still offers some amazing feel around the greens.  Titleist golf balls have a long tradition of being some of the best.

High handicap golf balls- These golf balls are going to be a lot cheaper than the above categories, but the great thing about these is they have improved so much over time. No more “rock flights” or Top Flights that kill your hand when you hit them. The Nike Crush golf balls are good. The feature a very durable cover and a dimple pattern designed to help increase your ball flight and accuracy.

Callaway FT 9 Tour Authentic Driver

Wow did you all see that finish today in the PGA tournament!!! Can you say karma! Good things are going to happen to Brian Davis for calling that penalty on himself. But onto today’s Best Golf Equipment Review article. In today’s golf club review, we are going to discuss the Callaway FT 9 Tour Authentic driver.
Best Golf Equipment Reviews was just able to get a hold of a new Callaway FT 9 Tour Authentic driver with the Adila Voodoo shaft. We could stop this Callaway review after one word…AMAZING!!! The Callaway FT 9 Tour Authentic driver is great. We hit several other of the best golf drivers out there including the Ping G15 drivers and Cobra S2 drivers, but the Callaway FT 9 Tour Authentic driver is far superior. We liked our old Callaway FT-iQ driver but hated the sound of it. When you hit the new Callaway FT 9 Tour Authentic driver it sounds great. It has a very soft feel to it.

This Callaway driver has a traditional round shape and has a longer hosel on it. If you are an old timer for Callaway golf clubs a hosel is going to be weird for you because you are probably use to the S2H2 technology. Time to move on because this driver is great. We hit about 15 yards longer and Callaway says it is the longest driver they make because it has the least amount of backspin to it. During my last round with it, I didn’t miss one fairway. In fact I won a bet with one of the other golfers in my group because he didn’t think I could do. Sucker now owes me a trip to one of the best day spas in San Diego…Okay I’m giving that gift to my wife. I will play golf while she enjoys her Swedish massage.

Finding the new Callaway FT 9 Tour Authentic driver can be tricky for you since it is not fully released yet. Don’t let your local golf shops tell you it is the same as the Callaway FT Tour or FT 9 tour driver because it isn’t. Take some time and find the Callaway FT 9 Tour Authentic driver because you are going to love it!

Cobra S2 Golf Clubs and Camilo Villegas

Best Golf Equipment Reviews has recently reviewed the Cobra S2 drivers and Cobra S2 irons. People tend to forget about Cobra when talking about the best golf clubs. They always think of Callaway golf, TaylorMade golf, and Ping golf, but not Cobra golf. Let’s not forget that Cobra golf has been around for a while and they were the club choice of Greg Norman for many years. For a complete review of the Cobra S2 golf clubs check out our main site.
Congratulations to Camilo Villegas for winning the 2010 Honda Classic. Camilo shot 13 under for the tournament. It’s no coincidence that Camilo plays Cobra golf clubs is it!!! While the Cobra golf clubs that Camilo plays are different than the ones available to the public, they are all built to the highest standards. Camilo has Cobra woods, Cobra irons, Titleist Vokey wedges, and a Titleist Scotty Cameron putter.

A lot of people get confused when it comes to golf shafts and what they need. In fact, an associate of Best Golf Equipment Reviews took some time off from golf and when he started playing again, he was so concerned with the shafts he was playing. We felt like telling him on several occasions that while shaft selection is important, don’t put all your effort into them! Sure knowing if you need a stiff or regular is important, but when you start dealing with tip stiffness and flex points, you better be a scratch golfer.

All of the Cobra golf clubs have graphite and steel shaft options. They offer stock shafts made by Fujikura and Adila along with steel shafts made by True Temper.

I Love Golf Deals

Best Golf Equipment Reviews has recently found out about a new discount tee time company in San Diego. I Love Golf Deals is offering cheap green fees in partnership with local golf courses. The way that I Love Golf Deals works is that they will advertise a particular golf course for 48 hours. During those 48 hours you can purchase the discounted green fee and receive a certificate. After the 48 hours is up, the discounted green fee is removed and a new golf course is listed. On some golf course deals, they will only offer a limited amount of certificates so the deal may be closed before the 48 hours is up. After you get your certificate you contact the golf course directly and make a tee time through them. This allows you to choose when you take advantage of your discounted golf fees.

I Love Golf Deals is going to start offering discounted green fees on March 1, 2010. Best Golf Equipment Reviews has learned about their first green fee special. We aren't going to ruin the surprise but it is a very good golf course in San Diego. The deal is going to be two golfers for $60!!! Best Golf Equipment Reviews will tell you that the normal rate for the golf course is between $40-50 during the week so this is a great deal.

To learn of these special golf green fees before the rest of the public does, go to the I Love Golf Deals website and register with them. You will get advanced emails of the deals ensuring you will never miss out a cheap green fee deal!!!  Also, I Love Golf Deals is offering some Titleist golf balls in a registration contest.

On a side note, Best Golf Equipment Reviews has consolidated our two golf blogs into this one blog. We felt we could offer our readers a better blog by concentrating on just one blog. Don't worry we are still going to do reviews on the best golf clubs and best golf courses, but will also be mixing some golf lesson tips in. Check out our new golf club reviews on the main site for the new Adams Idea a70s Irons and Titleist Vokey Wedges and our review on The Oaks Golf Club in Mississippi.

We also owe HostGator web hosting a big thanks for providing us with some cheap HostGator web hosting.  Without the HostGator promo price that we got, we might not have been able to continue this new blog.  Thanks again HostGator!!!

2010 Best Golf Clubs!!!

Best Golf Equipment Reviews is really excited about 2010. There are some great new golf clubs out that we can’t wait to review. In the upcoming months we are going to review some of the best golf clubs that you can now find in your local golf equipment stores. Some of those include the following new golf clubs.

Callaway Diablo Edge Irons- Best Golf Equipment Reviews has already had the chance to hit these irons and they are nice. They are very forgiving and have a clean look to them. The Callaway Diablo Edge irons are geared for the players that have an 8 or higher handicap. The Diablo Edge irons are available in steel and graphite shafts with the steel shafts costing $599.99 and the graphite shafts costing $799.99.

Maxfli Tour Series Golf Balls- These new golf balls made by Maxfli aren’t even available until February. Best Golf Equipment Reviews use to play the Maxfli HT golf balls quite some time ago and are excited about these Maxfli golf balls. There is going to be three versions: Tour LC, Tour, and Tour XD. The Maxfli Tour LC are designed for golfers with slower swings with a super soft urethane cover. The Maxfli Tour golf balls are designed for golfers with a swing speed of 100-110 mph who are looking for a soft feel and high short iron spin. The Maxfli Tour golf balls are designed for a golfer with a fast swing who are looking for moderate short iron spin and a moderately soft cover.

Cleveland CG Wedges- With all the hype about golf grooves and golf wedges, Cleveland has launched their 2010 golf wedges in the form of the Cleveland CG and Cleveland CG/DSG. These wedges feature a “zip groove” face in which the areas around the grooves have been laser milled creating a rougher face. Anybody who has played some golf knows that a rough face will create a ton of spin!

Those are just a few of the new golf clubs that Best Golf Equipment Reviews is going to be reviewing in 2010. In addition we are going to be looking at the new Titleist golf clubs, Ping golf clubs, and TaylorMade golf clubs.
