Played two rounds here over the weekend and to echo previous reviews, conditions here are suboptimal. Hitting from the fairway is like hitting out of the first cut if you're lucky, and thick rough if you're not. Easy to lose a ball in these conditions with the fairways overgrown and overwatered with absolutely no roll out.

The rough is extremely overgrown as well, which is actually kind of cool and presents a good challenge for such a short course. Wouldn't mind it staying this juicy to be honest, but it does make finding your ball hard. Pace of play both days was around 5 hours which is brutal for such a short course.

Thankfully the greens are being aerated today and tomorrow (9/22-23) so hopefully they'll be good again in a few weeks, because they were in pretty poor shape. Tons of unfixed pitch marks along with crabgrass growing in made for a very bumpy putting surface.

I wasn't in any bunkers so can't speak on them, but I did hear that they're going to be renovating a number of bunkers soon by adding in new liners/drainage as well as fresh sand, so that's something to look forward to.

For now give I'm going to take Alhambra out of the rotation for at least a few weeks while they work to get conditions back to their normal levels
