Too much water

The areas around the greens were way too wet. Most of the greenside bunkers wear wet, hard to hit out of. Anything around the green would plug.

Not as good

Was looking forward to playing Cheval today, as the last time I played (5yrs ago) The course was in great shape. Not so much this time. Really rough off the edges. Played the blue tee box and could have been in better shape. $76 green fees and the greens had just been sanded...Golf Now problem? Should be communicated before dishing out that kind of $ for that condition. The locals aren’t playing it either. Just about had the course to myself.

Cheval

Good course for the price. Extremely friendly staff. Tees, fairways and greens in excellent condition. Many bunkers and water hazards make for a challenging game.

Very nice Track

The layout here was pretty good. Very challenging for me since my draw is very heavy and a lot of my shots were dancing along the out of bounds line. The greens rolled pretty true. There was a little crab grass growing on fringes on greens in areas, but the fairways were trimmed but don’t land in the rough unless you have your ball on a string.
