I was not expecting much conditions wise after reading some recent reviews and knowing that this is more of a winter and spring course. I was surprised and impressed to see some new grass growing in the fairways on the front nine. The fairways were in excellent shape on the front nine and have really grown in since the last time I played here. The greens are not brutal fast like they can be but I saw some improvement also with the greens since the last time I was here. They are still quick above the hole and are a test if you short side yourself. The tees were in decent to good shape to call it fair with some divot damage on some of the par 3's. The sand never changes here...it borders on waste bunker sand in most of the traps. We walked 1st twilight group out this afternoon and finished in 4 hours 30 minutes...quite a few golfers on the course today for a Monday. Pro-shop staff friendly....and for $24.00 bucks walking at twilight it is no wonder that Rustic was just named America's top course for "bang for your buck" in the September 2010 issue of Golf Magazine.
