Nice course

Only issue was tee time was early, but we were told to go off the 10th tee. When we came around to the front we had to wait for two foursomes, one of which were very slow.

easter sunday at Schalamar golf club

My wife and I golfed at Schalamar this pass sunday. First of all, I am a fan of Ron Garl, the golf architect and his work.. I would think that he is not very happy with what happened to his golf club and the very poor condition that it is in. The greens are just about gone due to poor maintenance and diseased condition. The tee boxes and fairways were in very rough condition. The staff and the clubhouse were excellent as well as the 3 hour play conditions. The front 9 was in the wooded area while the back 9 was through the trailer park homes and very narrow and tight.

Enjoyed the course!

The course was well later out, challenging and staff were very nice. Only complaint is the tee blocks on the front nine. They were in rough shape. The rest rest were good.

Improved

The course is recovering nicely from all the rain, mostly thanks to the cart path only rule being enforced. This makes play a little slower but the course is getting better as a result.
