It’s been a few months since I posted a review on Dragonfly so I thought I’d give a middle of the summer condition update. Overall the course is in nice condition. Not quite as pristine as it can be (or that of Ridge Creek down the road) but certainly worth the price of admission.

Greens did have a lot of pitch marks in them, some repaired some not. Other than that they rolled fine at a nice medium-fast pace. Fairways did have some brown spots here and there but even those areas were perfectly fine to hit from as they were lush just not pretty to look at (just like when the grass goes dormant in the winter). For playability the fairways get an 8-9, for aesthetics they get a 7.

Tee boxes were all level, but a few of the par 3’s had some crab grass mixed in. I previously mentioned that the course had been doing some major overall on the sand traps. I was in three today (make that four in three holes) and all had excellent quality sand. Kudo’s to the staff for finally addressing this issue.

I found a perfect pocket and zipped around as a single in 2.5 hours. All of the staff were very friendly. Dragonfly moved all of their operations outside for covid. Check in is now at two different outside tables. The kids (all teenagers and early 20’s) are stuck outside in the heat with only an E-Z up for shade. This was fine in March and April, but in the summer heat? Make us pay online or via phone. Something can be worked out to get these kids inside the airconditioned building at out of the triple digit heat.

Cart gal was around a few times. She even came through when I was on the 17th which was at about 4:30 PM. Which worked out perfect as the Gatorade was just what I needed to finish with a birdie.

COVID Restrictions: Check in is outside on a plastic table under a canopy. No rakes in the bunkers. Sand in the carts (which have GPS), Cups are back to full depth. Unknown if players are allowed to take flagstick out. I left it in all day. I was solo so don’t know about a shared cart. Didn’t use practice putting green. Range is open (didn’t use it).

As a side note on the all grass range. They have a large rolling canopy that covers the players while on the range. This is great to stay out of the sun while warming up or getting in a range day.
