Brown All Over

Something must have happened, the entire course was brown when we played last month. The greens were mud with little or no grass. Clubhouse is always nice with great food.

Tough Course- Wet and Windy

Have played this course the past 3 years during the start of the year. Last year it was dry as dust, this year it's very wet. Don't think they've cut or rolled the greens in some time. With the wind, it is very hard to hit greens in regulation for guys who shoot high 80's or low 90's. From there the greens are tough to read, many splotches and damaged areas. Three putts happen all to often, With NO grass on the fairways, you're hitting off dirt making it that much harder. I need to play more courses in the area but this one is at the bottom of my list which is unfortunate.

Great layout- poor conditions

Great layout. Par 3’s are all tough. No grass in the fairways. Greens were sanded and rolled (bounced) inconsistently.

From tee to green the conditions were unacceptable. Maybe the time of year I hope but I wouldn’t recommend playing this course in January

Nice Course, but Greens still need improvement

Hopefully consistent warmer weather will bring the greens back.

Ugly

Fairways bald and patchy with crabgrass. Greens were slow and lots had bald spots. Holes cut from before were shallow and crooked. 2 water coolers were empty. I have seen this course looking much much better in the past..

Pebble Beach Greens!

Greens were terrible, there were “pebbles” all over the greens - not sure if it was from heavy rains the night before, but crazy to putt!!!

Zombie Greens….literally living dead

The course is excellent however the greens are infected with a “mold”. The greens need a wide punch aeration then holes filled with sand. The mold is causing the grass to “smear”. Not trying to play the course down … giving you the truth
