Nice round of winter golf

First outing in the new year. Weather was not much of a factor in the round. It was cart path only however and that put a damper on a couple in my foursome. I liked the condition of the course considering it is February and the amount of rain we got in December and January. Grounds crew renovating the bunker on 14 when we played the hole and noticed again that lot of work on bunkers. Hopefully when it warms up the bunkers will be great to play out of.

Nice round of winter golf

Played a round at Lake Spanaway with three friends. Rain on Sunday and Monday didn't allow us to drive golf carts on the course, but overall enjoyed the opportunity to play on a nice layout. Some standing water on the cart paths, bunkers were raked (saw a large pile of sand in the parking lot) but need some TLC. Greens were great!

A challenging round of golf on a cloudy day in July

checked in and was told that we would start on Hole #10 and we might find the greens were a little slow. No complaints, thought the greens rolled to about a 8 or 9 on the stimp meter and as a recreational golfer didn't object to the speed of the greens. It had been years since I played this course. I would like to go back and play the course from the #1 tee. Condition of the rest of the course was average. Played out of three bunkers and the sand was different in each one. Staff were very nice.

Great weather made a great round

Foursome thoroughly enjoyed the layout. It was the first outing of the year. Puts were rolling straight and drives were rolling out. Most enjoyable to get out on such a nice layout on such a nice day.,

Dynamic Pricing versus winter conditions

the cost of playing The Links did not equate with the conditions of the golf course. It appeared the greens had not been mowed recently, bunkers were not raked, and did not see any grounds crew anywhere on the course. I understand the fact that it is still winter conditions for the most part, but when I entered the pro shop I was fortunate that I had a military ID, otherwise I would have paid 54.00 to play. The lock on the men's bathroom on hole 13 on the Links is broken. Passed on to the Pro Shop, they already knew it was broken. No garbage cans on the course still, despite covid being over.

golfed with a friend

12:28 tee time, played the up tees, I was able to hit 3 wood on several par 4 holes making it an enjoyable afternoon. Starter let us play as a twosome behind what looked like a family threesome. Really enjoyed the round. Course condition overall was fantastic. I hit into a couple of bunkers but got out each time with one shot. I had no trouble reading the greens, a 20 footer on 16 going into the hole was the highlight of the round.

18 holes of winter golfing with brother in law

Fairways and greens were in great shape for the month of December. Greens were in excellent form and made putting fun. Played off a mat on #12 par three, only other complaint was it was cart path only.... majority of fairways were firm enough to allow 90 degrees.

Replayed from the White tees

I am about a 15 handicap from the white tees, and wanted to experience playing the white tees after playing the white/green tees a couple of weeks ago with friends. Despite the hot weather, the fairways are in really good condition. I was in three bunkers and the sand was not a problem. I really enjoyed the round and look forward to coming back later in the month.

Course reputation of fairways is not being met

I like this course, and enjoy the layout. Today however, I was disappointed in the condition of the fairways. While I was walking down the fairway on the finishing hole #18, I was astonished by the poor condition of the final fairway. I played with a group of friends, and we felt that the condition of the course detracted from our enjoyment of the course.

Great course with challenging layout

Playing the KIng's Course was exciting and enjoyable. I played the resort tees and found the layout was challenging due to the fairway bunkers and the long par 4's. I was in two greenside bunkers and had no problems with the sand. Playing the short par 4's made the round enjoyable. A birdie on # 5 made the round more fun, but even better I birdied the par 3 15th, and made par on the par 4 17th, and the par 5 18th. The greens rolled great, and I would play again in a minute.

Played challenging combo tees in wind

I like playing the Home Course when I can and enjoy the challenging layout. I played the combo tees for the first time at 6308 yards. I was in two bunkers on #3 and #5 and stayed out of the water on #7 and #14. The contour on many of the greens makes putting difficult but I thought the greens were extremely slow. Hitting out of the two bunkers was difficult also as the sand in the bottom of the bunkers has really thinned from the winter weather and may need some TLC so players don't clang their sand wedge on small rocks on the bottom of the bunker.

Well bunkered fairways and water make this a challenging layout

I have played the Palm course three times and it is my favorite course to play here. The layout presents some great risk reward holes that keep the round challenging. I think the course is also very beautiful to play especially early in the morning.
