Took a day off work yesterday, 11/20/14 and walked a really quick round at Trophy Lake. I got there about 10:15, teed off right away, and never saw a single player in front of me, and very rarely saw anyone less than 2 holes behind me. It was really quite fun, feeling like I had the place to myself. Conditions were pretty good for late fall/early winter up here. It had rained the night before, plus there was some off and on rain during my round, so things were very wet. A lot of fairways and fringes had been recently punched, so you did find some sketchy lies. The rough was very nice, however. It looked as though the greens had been recently punched with very small holes, but the roll was not affected at all. They really did putt very well, albeit a little on the slow side. The bunkers I found were pretty consistent, lots of sand that was surprisingly not as compacted as I would have expected with the weather. I love this layout, and the setting is absolutely gorgeous. Once again, Trophy did not disappoint.
