This is the first this year this course. I used to play Boulder Creek regularly over the years. It was never in great shape, but a fun course for a good price especially as a hot deal on Golfnow. It was a nice course in a great setting. But the current management either doesn't have the money or the skills to maintain the course. The fairways are overgrown. The greens in very bad shape. I lost about a dozen of balls in the overgrown fairways. They gave me a warning about the course condition in the golf shop and blamed the recent storms. That is no an excuse to not get the grass cut. It wasn't raining the last two weeks. Today I saw a guy with a push lawnmower to go through a totally overgrown fairway. Where they cut the grass, it is cut too short and is already burned. They really don't know what they are doing. Unless they get professional help this place is going out of business.

Played Deep Cliff today after a long time again. The course is in excellent condition. But the matts need to go. They want you to tee of matts on more than half the holes. However the tee boxes are in pristine conditions. This makes a short course even shorter. After the round I went to the pro shop to complain, only to hear that the matts are permanent. They lost my business.
