Variety of each hole made for an enjoyable mix of challenges. Greens were smooth and about 8 on the Stimp despite being top dressed and rolled. The only negative was that the on-course restrooms were not open. Nasty for the 65 + group. Pick a tree!

Congrats to the maintenance crew for their good work in the last 3 months. Overall conditions are very much improved.

Despite the 1 hour drive from home, the Mission Inn Resort El Campeon course was worth the effort. It's a great "traditional" layout with even a few blind shots along the way. Looking forward to playing a few more rounds to learn all the nuances.

Greens were of good speed and condition.
Fairways were in good condition and very wet.
Most of the bunkers were poorly maintained with many of them full of rocks and stones causing potential club damage.
The foursome directly in front of us took 20 min's to play the 1st hole. We requested, and received permission from them to skip the second hole and proceed to the third tee. The rest of the round was at a very good pace. No course ranger was seen during the round.
The beverage cart lady was very cordial, prompt, and a very good asset to the staff.
