There are a few pain points. The greens seem to be having a tough season thus far. Tightly mowed but a little bare in spots. Some tee boxes were kinda crabby. I'm not sure I'd play ANY bunker shots for fear of damaging my club with the rocks scattered throughout them. They were also kinda packed down. We actually removed our lies from them as being unplayable. Fairways are still above average for the area and the rough is still a good playable depth. It was a bit wet out still, bringing the bugs like those big slow euro bees, and they were also watering greens at the same pace of our play. Bar renovations look nice but i liked seeing your food prepped before. Need some wasp control at the divot filler rack on, i think, hole 5. The woman in the pro shop was super nice and let us jump on the course early since the mid day wasn't that busy and we didn't want to pair up with strangers. We even sliced one into one of the mowers on 10 and he was very nice and understanding. Biggest problem more than of any of the conditions (which are much worse and common at other local courses due to weather) is that we saw a group of 6 playing together. Hate seeing that either allowed or no ranger to control it. Value was high with the golf now hot deal of the day.

This course rivaled the gauntlet for overall ratings in my book. It once had great greens which are not very good anymore. Some rocks in bunkers. Fairways had a little brown but are plush and play great. If rumors are true it won't be open next year, and it seems to be with the money they're not putting into it for maintenance, i will miss it.

Like all local courses, it seems the gauntlet is still in a bit of recovery from last year's brutal summer. Greens were being aerated so put lines were a bit of a bear. But fairways and rough seem to be on the mend. In addition to time off during the "winter", some rocky bunkers and a couple of inconsiderate players made the day tough for me personally. Good value for the hot deal price. I would hold off on paying full price.

The conditions of the greens, fairways and rough are as good as can be expected, if not better, for February golf. I had issues with the traps. The sand was extremely soft and thin like play sand. Some trap areas had a number of rocks throughout and nearly all of them were trampled by wildlife over night and not groomed for the day. All of these combined to make them nearly unplayable. I'm excited to play this course with green grasses in the summer after its not dormant anymore.
