It didn't feel like we waited all that much but POP was almost 5 hours, but understandable because the entire front nine was CPO as well as one hole on the back.
Conditions are quite good. Greens are mostly smooth, fast, and more firm than soft, although full shots still stopped quickly. The collars look like dirt from afar but they were actually mostly dormant bermuda that rolled very fast and firm. Fairways were green and in good condition, providing nice lies all day. The rough was also in good condition and wasn't too deep except for behind the 18th green. Green tee boxes were good. I think the only bunkers I was in were fairway bunkers and they were nice with not too soft or deep of sand. Some areas were still a bit wet/muddy from all the recent rains, causing the CPO.
This was my first time here. This course keeps you engaged with lots of elevation changes. Very few parallel holes, and OB/penalty areas come into play on many holes. It reminded me most of Coyote Hills but also had shades of Pelican Hill on some of the holes with wider fairways. (The back-to-back par 5s on the back nine come to mind.) Very nice clubhouse with stellar views of the surrounding rolling hills, and a few holes offer views all the way out to the ocean. Very fun course and a great day! » Close Played here today in the GK/Golf Moose outing in group 1A with Mark, Marc, and Gary.

(Easiest playing partner names to remember ever for Gary today – three Marks!) Pace was good and despite some rain on the last few holes, it was just a bit over 4.5 hours.
Conditions are pretty good for a course that doesn't overseed in winter, but not quite as nice as last July's outing. Greens are very nice, smooth, medium-fast, and quite firm, although full shots and chips with lots of spin would still bite. Fairways are dormant bermuda with green colorant, providing mostly good lies for full shots but tight lies for chips short of the greens. Rough is dormant bermuda a couple inches deep, not too penal and sometimes almost preferred to the tight lies of the fairways. Blue tee boxes were all nice. Bunkers were fantastic and I had my best bunker playing round in years using Johnny's demo set of Vivid wedges. (Gotta get me one of those 56s.)
Dreary skies never really let the course come to life visually today, but we still had a good time. Thanks Johnny and Golf Moose for these awesome opportunities to play some very nice courses! » Close Played here today with some friends with a 10:30 start time.

The whole course is cart path only due to the rains, which slowed the pace to about 5 hours. Played Oaks/Creek, and I believe Stonehouse was closed due to being too wet. We got rained on at least five times for 5-10 minutes each time. We also got a few periods of bright sunlight (including an amazing rainbow), but mostly cloudy skies for the day.
Regarding conditions, I didn't rate the course because it seemed the fairways and tees maybe weren't able to be mowed, and bunkers were a bit messy, all due to the course being so wet. That said, give this place some time to dry out and it's gonna be amazing! I don't think I've ever seen the fairways as green and lush as they are right now. Greens were really nice, medium-fast, smooth, and accepting of full shots. Rough was thick and penal, putting a premium on hitting the fairways. As I said, bunkers seemed like they could use some raking but had plentiful sand. Tee boxes were decent with some of the par 3s having lots of divots, which seemed worse when the grass that exists is wet and slippery.
Definitely recommended if we get a few days of sunshine/warm temps to dry things up. » Close Played here today with a 10:53 TeeOff.com "Deal" time.

Started a little late (10th tee start today for some reason) and waited almost all day, but POP was good at a little under 4 hours.
Conditions are quite good! Greens are really nice, rolling smooth, medium fast, and very accepting of full shots. I found some unfixed ball marks but otherwise they're in really nice shape. Fairways are also nice, with good coverage of lush green grass providing a good cushion under the ball. There are some divots and spots here and there you'll hope to avoid, but for the most part, fairways are good. The rough is also quite lush but not very penal, around 3 inches deep. Blue tee boxes are probably the low point, especially the par 3s which have tons of divots. I wasn't in any bunkers but they looked pretty good, although there seemed to be lots of pebbles/clumps in them. Overall, the course didn't really show any issues from all the recent rains.
I didn't hear the full story, but apparently the Legends course did sustain damage from the storm and only has six holes open right now as a result. » Close Played here today in group 1B of the GK/GolfMoose outing.

Event start time was 10:00 but carts weren't dispatched to the shotgun start until after 10:00, and as group B, we probably didn't tee off until around 10:20. Pace was slow, probably close to five and a half hours, but it was a gorgeous, sunny day that felt like summer, so no big deal. Fun times with Johnny, Ron, and Mark6M. Conditions are excellent. Greens are smooth, very accepting of full shots, and medium-fast. Sidehillers present the biggest danger because they can start turning downhill and get away from you quickly. Fairways have good coverage and provided good lies, although some fairways seemed to have an abundance of divots. Rough was beautifully lush and semi-penal at about 3 inches deep. Bunkers I was in were mostly good; well maintained but perhaps a little thin on sand. White tee boxes were good. I love any opportunity to play this outstanding course and greatly appreciate Johnny and Golf Moose setting up these events! Fun times. » Close
