Quick pace of play. Played 18 holes in 3.5 hours :). Course was in great condition even with a little afternoon rain.

Swamps on half of the fairways in the middle of a drought. Literally swamps - algae growing in the middle of stagnant holes on nearly every hole. Portions of several greens soft and squishy due to this overwatering. It’s so bad that it seems like it must actually be water pipes leaking if it wasn’t like it on nearly every hole. Also, all back nine holes are sanded so those are even worse.

Played from the gold tees which present some quite long par 4s. Layout is beautiful, conditions of tees and fairways were excellent, but greens were not that great. I’d definitely play again, but my wallet can’t handle the price too often :(

Slow, rough greens with huge dead spots. Essentially every hole has an unplayable green - just take a 2 putt and keep moving. Fairways are in reasonable shape though there are huge bare spots there as well but you can always find somewhere nearby to move to.

Course was in pretty good shape for middle of winter. Greens were pretty good but lots of unrepaired ball marks. Pace of play was good until we caught up with the group in front of us where it slowed to about fair. We finished 16 holes - started at 2:06 and played until nearly 6:00. Would have been about 4.5 hours if daylight had allowed.

Overall the course is pretty generous though it looks really tough from most of the tee boxes. You really have to think about your shots to land in the right areas and avoid driving through fairways on the doglegs. Greens are huge and undulating, but they're cut somewhat conservatively making them reasonable for your average golfer. If they had cut them short, there were some pin positions which would have made them close to impossible.

Beautiful layout and very good condition considering the rain. But be prepared - it is very tough, with a lot of hazards, good chance of steep side hill lies even when on the fairway, and huge, slick, steeply undulating greens.

Truthfully too tough for me to really enjoy it.
