Fred Arbanas Golf Course - Championship
Played On 05/27/2018Great condition and good staff
It was a hot one and the course was in good if not great condition. The staff was friendly though not overly available. Kind of like a country club, if you know what you're doing, help yourself.
Greens were in the best and fastest condition I have played them. Rolled true and the short grass helped with putting pace. It was nice that the practice green was representative of the speed of the actual greens.
The rest of the course was in fine shape too.
We tee'd at the just after Noon spot which can create pace of play problems, but none for us. As a twosome we zipped around the course in 3.30 and never had a wait. Could have played faster if my driver was not so erratic that day. It was hot so possibly traffic was down.
Layout is a fun track that definitely plays tougher from the blues for a long hitter. From the whites most trouble is carried & doesn't come into play. I used all my clubs, not just driver, short wedge over and over. Value is outstanding when using a discounted round. Average at regular prices.
Amenities were nice. Water cooler on almost every hole. Never found and empty one and have I mentioned it was hot. Nice clubhouse & 19th hole with good selection of beers. Many are tall boys and at reasonable prices. Cart girl must have found us 4-5 times, so never had an issue there.
Lousy round at a very good course in great condition. I had a good time.

Played On 03/04/2017Everything was great but the greens
I booked through GA and had a wonderful experience with the check-in, course staff, equipment, facilities, etc. The only drawback was the greens seem to have been attacked by a fungus or something rendering various spots unusable. The course staff did a good job placing pins in spots where the damaged green did not come into play as much. If you had to putt through a damaged spot it would be like putting through 5 feet of asphalt in the middle of your line. The rest of the course was in fine shape for early March and again for emphasis, the staff was as nice an accommodating as could be. The clubhouse even had a good burger on the turn. Overall I was pleased as it was an outstanding value when receiving a GA Hot Deal discount. It would have been much tougher to swallow the greens condition had a paid full price or if scoring was a primary concern to me. An extra stroke or two is not a primary concern for me as I am shooting near 100 anyway.
