Good course but still needs to dry out.

Course was still recovering from all the rain with some areas still needing mowing. Most of the rough had been mowed but still at a fairly long length as it was hard to find your ball if it wasn't in the fairway. The next mowing will probably get the rough back to a more usual length. Having to spend time looking for balls in the rough made the time to play a round longer than normal.

course has recovered well from the wet winter

They have been able to mow everywhere and carts were allowed off of the paths. Rough was mowed but a little longer than in the summer so balls were sometimes hard to find in the rough. This makes it a little slower to complete your round as it takes time for find any hits that ended up in the rough. Otherwise the course was in great shape and the greens have almost healed from the being aerated.

course in poor shape as it was too wet to mow

Generally like this course but on this day it was too wet to be mowed and the front 9 was especially bad. Grass was so tall that everyone lost balls in the ruff and sometimes on the fairway. It needs a few more dry days so that they can get the course in shape

Grounds very wet a lot not mowable

Course layout is good but the spring was so wet that the front 9 had the fairway mowed but not the rough so if you ball went into the rough it was hard to find if not impossible. Rough over 4 inches tall and had standing water in some areas. If we get 5 warmer days with no rain they should be able to get it mowed. The back nine was better but still had some areas where it was hard to find your ball.

beautiful course with views of the ocean

Course was in good shape with some areas that were muddy but mostly in good playing shape. There was a lot of rain in the last week so this course healed well and they were able to mow it all which wasn't the case in most of the other courses in this county.

Greens still healing from aerating a week ago so they were slow from the sand that still impacts the speed of the greens. Other than that the course is in great shape.
