Pinsetters first day

Played here dozens of times. It was clear that the pinsetter was having a rough day. Half the cups were only 1/4” below the surface, tilted, and numerous non-conforming locations on the sides of ridges or too close to the green edge. Particularly hole 7 was set in a spot where it was impossible to have the ball stop within 5’ of the hole.

Pleasantly surprised

Having played this course numerous times previously, the greens were in awesome shape and fast. The course was in decent shape but it had just rained so a lot of wet areas on several holes, making my black shoes brown now. Several holes had ground under repair, but they were being worked on. Pace of play was good having finished in about 4 hours. Staff is always friendly and would play again.
