Good Condition

Course has really dried out with this break in the rain. Playing the best I’ve ever seen it in the winter time right now, get out here before it rains again. Greens rolling really well. Teed off just before 8 am and finished in just over 3 hours.

Need to cut the rough

Played on Easter, felt like I was on an Easter egg hunt all day trying to find our balls. We lost a lot of balls that were not that far off the fairway that should have been findable easily. Rough right now is very thick and very long, hard to find your ball even just a yard off the fairway or green unless you know exactly where it was.

The course layout is great, big oak trees in play in lot of holes make you think about where you have to hit it. I know the rough is only due to all the rain this year, but it was almost unplayable with thick terrible lies even just a foot off the fairway or just off the greens. I intend to come back in a month or so and think they will have mowed it shorter by then and I’ll re-review it. The greens were in excellent condition and rolling well. Bunkers were not sand, more rocks and clayish, not sure if that’s on purpose I.e. “natural bunkers” or not, but it was hard to get it close out of them.

Pay the greens keeping staff overtime and cut that rough down these next few weeks and it’s an excellent course.

Thank you for the review and comments. We use your feedback to help improve the experience that we deliver our guests. You are correct that the additional rain has increased the rough, but we are heading into great weather conditions which enables the rough to be cut more often. Hope to see you again soon!
