Hi All,

Though I had not played this course in some time I was incredibly pleased to find the overall condition of Old D to be near immaculate.Mowers and rollers were out in my mid morning round and my obvious concern were the poa greens.Near pure.Every single one of ‘em.

Enjoy

Much improved

It’s kind of tough for me to review Laguna Seca …this course has always treated me well and my last review was a total rant.The greens are much improved from my last review.I will have to add Poa greens thrive in the dead of winter so I was glad to see them back to health.The fairways were pretty sweet with a good tuft.Again, the winter rains pay off here and the drainage usually isn’t much of a problem with the side hiill layout of this course.the restaurant and pro shop staff are on point.

Poa

For the few remaining courses that have Poa greens in the area I have to say I was highly disappointed in the playing condition of the greens.Though they were lush and bumpy do not expect to score.And if your playing partners are generally going to pick up their ball instead of putting out-I’m sure that would relatively speed up the pace of play

Low Expectations

I originally had high expectations coming to play this course on a last minute decision.I have previous experience in the golf industry in the Monterey Bay Area as pro shop staff.The staff at this course facility were awesome.The clubhouse facility was quoted dated unfortunately.The golf course was my major gripe.The greens were the slowest type I had ever played.The rough was torrential to say the least.Too much time spent looking for any players ball.Too much time spent putting on slow greens.The course layout is great..the format of the course turf conditions was not to my liking. which seemed to be suited to high volume play expectancy..For such a storied course my expectations were definitely not met and I am hopeful to a return of upstanding for this great course layout and it’s facilities.

Bring your A,B or C game

Do not kid yourself.Is what I’ll usually tell myself when playing these courses.The tracks are championship grade so, play well and if you aren’t that day-don’t take it too seriously.Prepare to air it out and work on your short game at the same.The greens are tricky sweet and can play incredibly high on the stimp...mostly.This is enjoyable golf at Bayonet & Blackhorse and these courses do there job spectacularly well..The staff are and have always been professional and courteous.The pro shop is stocked well for its size.The clubhouse restaurant will take care of you.Drinks are plenty and the views are legit throughout.Enjoy!

Quiet Time

Amazing turf conditions (and especially the greens) for the last three times having played here this year.Seperated just enough from the outside world to fully enjoy quality time golfing on this Freddie Couples design.Demanding layout makes you want to play well regardless.Wonderful facility and courteous staff throughout.

Incline Championship Course

My first impression of the facility AND the golf course was outstanding.The Pro Shop staff are friendly,helpful and courteous.True professionals.The golf course wants you to play well- as it should.The locale at Incline Village with Crystal Bay,the mountains and the trees of North Shore Lake Tahoe are ideally majestic.
