Greens too fast!

I've played here a lot over many years. This year they have a new head greenskeeper, and he decided to make the greens super fast, like 10 on the stimpmeter. Now that's fine if the greens roll true, but these are Muni greens with all kinds of ruts and holes and bumps and your typical beat up conditions that you expect at a Muni. If you make these greens play like Augusta it's putting lipstick on a pig. The greens were much better before. Fast for the sake of fast is foolish, the conditions cannot handle the speed. Terribly frustrating to putt on on greens that require you to tap ever so gently, then watch your ball go in random directions as it bounces it's way through craters, holes and bald spots.if your ball goes in it's sheer luck, more often than not it's knocked off line by imperfections. Put the greens back to the speed they've always been, this new approach is not working!

Easy but fun, worth playing

I've been playing here since it opened many years ago. The staff is very nice and friendly. The course is short and mostly wide open, but does have its challenges. It's not flat and has quite a few elevation changes that keep things interesting. Overall the layout is interesting and does not bore me for being as open as it is, it's fun to play and is a good confidence builder. The greens used to be great, but most years are substantially pock marked by the end of the season, they don't recover like they used to. It's easy to walk and is definitely worth playing for all levels, I like this place!
