Incredible Layout

The fairways wind in and out of country chalets where the course is manicured right up to their back yards... and beyond! So nice to be able to find one's 'off center' hits that miss the fairway!

Lovely Layout!

Not a long course, but the layout keeps you moving the ball L2R and R2L, and especially DOWN, like #18 Par 3 WAY DOWN the hill!!

East is the Beast

The West course is a good play, but if you want a test, take on the East for some up/down good times!

Good Luck hitting the Par 4 #15!

Back and Front and Back again!

Since sometime last year the course now plays back to front... the back being the 'newer' and the most challenging layout some say, but yesterday the back, old front, actually did me in, as those holes are supposed 'easier', but there is less fairway to hit AND more trees to ping around in!

All in all, two differing styles of golf between the back and front 9, be ready to switch your game plan!!

A different course from the Blues

For us mid-teen handcappers, the Blue T's yield some very long second shots for the par 4's. AND some tricky layups on holes 4 & 6.

a few BEAR patches

a few bare patches near the greens makes for some difficult up and downs; otherwise i like to play this course occassionally to feel the bite of it's BOOT! Accuracy driving and approach is critical here... if you are short of these greens, there are plenty of camel hump greens to try to pitch and hold!

Oh, and PLEASE put more than 1/4" of sand in those greenside bunkers.

Foggy Morning Start

Wow, love this early morning start and cool foggy summer morning. Sun came out half way thru round, right where the course changes from parkland to links style. GR8 views of the Pacific too!

Currently Construction

First par 5 split into two holes and #10 eliminated for now with construction. Allot of greens are a bit patchy as mgmt claims they lost water main during 3 days of 100+ degrees. Will be back to greatness once all is sorted!

Heat Wave!

One of the GR8 things about this course, especially in the current HEAT, is the positioning of well constructed bathrooms at the end of #3 and end of #12. There are cold water fountains and cold refreshment boxes there too!

Shag

Putting greens have been redone from the disaster a few months ago. However, might consider putting with a driver from distance because they have the speed of a shag carpet and are slllllllllllllllllllllllow!

Fast Fairways and tricky greens

You can get there from here, but when you arrive, the course's teeth BITE and i mean HARD! If you don't play here regularly and learn the breaks, these greens will grab at least a 1/2 stroke per hole on average from your back pocket! I swear some broke uphiLLLLLLL!!!!!!

Yep, playing on Monday when the Sunday pins are still in... OUCH!
