I play 9 holes after work all the time (at) Foxtail North. I don't know what course "shebylo" was playing on 7/29. While it is a good challenge from the tips and the fairways are lush, the greens are just moon crater bumpy and piss-poor slow! This is typical for Foxtail this time of year as they struggle with poor soil conditions and warm weather. Their response to this is increasing the height of cut on the greens (Rio Vista anyone!?!) and over irrigating which renders them slow and bumpy. Combined with golfers who haven't fixed a ball mark on a green since the 20th century and you are left with some of the worst putting surfaces in Sonoma County. Oakmont West (which never gets any reviews on this site) is where I've been going lately after work. Fast, firm & SMOOTH! Foxtail is fun until you grab the flatstick and then the game becomes "luck of the bounce", which sucks.
