Took the opportunity to get out and play Hawks Landing Saturday afternoon to a course we hadn’t played in about 9 years and other than taking away the par 5 18th and making it a par 3 island green it’s was pretty much what we remembered. Tee boxes varied from excellent to average, fairways were mostly good with an occasional thin spot, the Bermuda rough was tough as usual for the fall, you know disappears if you don’t watch closely. Pace of play was good played 18 in 4 hours and the course has a nice variety of holes. The best part of the course were the excellent greens smooth and fast. As long as they don’t get too crazy with the price I would definitely recommend this course.

Check in was quick and easy since we prepaid with hot deal rate. When checking in we were told we could go right out as their was no one before our threesome so we jumped at the opportunity as we like to play very fast.
We played 18 in 2:48 minutes and we only ran into one foursome and they were very gracious and let us play through. I think there were more people hitting balls on the range than actually playing golf? As for the course conditions the greens very nice although a bit on the slow side for our liking and a couple of them had dead patches on them I would rate them a 4. The bunkers were well maintained and in very good shape I would give them a 4.5 even with no rakes. The fairways were good but were much better on the back 9. I would rate the front nine a 3 and the back nine close to a 4. The rough was rough in spots, but hay you should be penalized for missing the fairway.
I would rate the tee boxes a 3 at best, lots of weeds and one par three was a sand box. I know this virus is hurting some courses so we will go back later in the summer after they have a chance to put some work into the course.

Pace of play was great, a few tee box's were getting rough from lack of spring rain and above average temperatures this spring and the fairways were in great shape. The greens were rolling very true and fast which we like.
We always enjoy the course as it forces you to use every club in your bag and really challenges you if your off your game.
