Had to be out in this neck of the woods for something in the evening. So rather than sitting in Friday late afternoon traffic, I headed out early to get a little extra golf in. Was looking for cheap and easy, so a $9 12:07 deal time on Teeoff.com did the trick! Things were pretty loose as it wasn't super crowded, so they just kind of told me to head down to the first tee when ready. There was a threesome that just went off ahead of me, so two other singles and I joined up. Still, it was a fantastic pace and we finished in about 3:15. The course was in as good a shape as I would hope for here. Actually the tee boxes were generally good and the fairways were mostly quite nice. A tad shaggy to combat the heat, but pretty consistent coverage and always good lies. The primary rough areas were also more good than bad—getting worse the further you stray from the fairways. The greens were soft and slow. Pretty bumpy and also a lot of burnt out areas. They are getting set to aerate next week, so that should do them some good. The bunkers were terrible. Just hard-packed dirt in the two I found. Fine enough course, especially for a $9 deal. Nothing too exciting in terms of the layout, but enough to keep you slightly interested and decent playing conditions made it more worthwhile.
