Lochmere Golf Club
Played On 10/23/2018crowded course
Lochmere was mediocre, and I may not go back very often.
1.The course is crowded with foursomes going off every ten minutes. We took 4 1/2 hours to play.
2.The fairways and tee boxes are poor with spotty grass.
3.The layout is somewhat flat and boring. Houses around the course are on slopes, but the course is mostly very flat.
4.Had to hit off mats on the driving range.
A. The sand traps were in good shape.
B. the greens were good. moderate speed and slope.
C. The rough was penal but fair.
Panorama Golf Club - Rolling Hills Course
Played On 02/16/2017Greens in good shape
Played the second and third nine-hole layouts on Thursday, Feb 16. It is a good course for practice on a pretty day. The greens seemed to have been top-dressed and rolled within the last month. Good speed and most putts rolled true. There are still a few areas on the greens with invasive grasses that caused bumpy rolls. These few small spots of weeds should be killed now. Some greens have enough contour to be interesting if pins are placed near slope.
Some maintenance digging and raking had been performed on the sand traps and they were mostly OK after some rain earlier in the week. There are several green-side traps that obviously hold ponds of water after rain. Major work needs to be done to redo drainage of these troublesome traps.
We played from forward, black tee boxes. The teeing areas and the fairways need more grass and less bare sand. In February, it is forgivable that fairways are not lush, but the tee areas could be re-seeded or re-sodded.
The tee to green layout of most par 4s did not have great variety nor are they memorable. The par 3 designs are better.
