The tees and greens are in good shape as are most fairways. Like a lot of public courses they are letting some of the fringe areas to return to natural conditions including using less water. There are a few hard pan areas that should be avoided. Overall a good course with some blind shots on the back 9 so trust your scorecard or the advice of a frequent player.

Rough is rather rough in spots (under watered). Now that they are aggressively trimming trees the greens are in much better condition. Bring your most comfortable shoes when walking as it is a good workout. I like the back nine the best.

It's always a surprise to me when you start out on something other than hole #1. In this case you start on hole # 11 a tough par 5 w/ water. No starter was present and carts don't have GPS. Throw in early am fog and the first 2 holes were challenging unless you play there often. Nonetheless I enjoyed the round and the facilities.

The course is magnificent shape. Tall redwoods guard tight fairways making shot selection critical. Greens are excellent and well maintained. A great course that can be played again and isn't tiring.
