1/2 using black friday voucher $100 2some with range balls after 11 M-TH able to finally snag 1130 tee time. Paired with a couple of 30 yr old long ball golfers and very good company who played the blues while us oldsters played the gold. Conditions overall were mixed with 4 holes plus par 3s CPO mainly due to recent rains. POP right at 445 which apparently is within their goal for after 10 starts. Waited on a few holes front 9 then due to some uncaracteristic scattering of the ball often shared by more than 1 of our group we did not have anymore waits and the 4 some following never really caught up so the pace seemed better than the clock showed.
Fairways were ok with some thin lies but overall lies were adequate. Rough consisted of mixed grasses often lumpy so lies were randomly ok or just plain nasty. Found 1 bunker which had finely compacted sand. Tees were shaggy but level.
Greens continued the theme of mixed varietals leaving a camo look and contributing to occassional bumpiness. Played better than they looked but seemed to be inconsistent on speed or as a group we really did a poor job of reading slope. Green complexes are large with considerable contour and topography to consider.
This course plays hard and wayward shots are punished. But the overall setting makes the suffering worthwhile.
Friendly staff good gps soft mats on the range and nice chipping area and large putting green with less slope than those on the course.
