Walking a private course in the Southeast is a minor act of defiance against the region's cart-first defaults
Walking a private course in the Southeast is a minor act of defiance against the region's cart-first defaults. At Bessemer, 18 holes over 6,552 yards of rolling Bermuda terrain means the walk has substance. In Southern heat, it demands respect. Members who walk here have made a deliberate choice. The turf and the pace are better for it. Slope of 124 means the terrain has enough character to keep things interesting without turning into a slog. Summer heat in the Deep South is not a footnote. It's a condition. Morning tee times are not a preference. They're a plan.
