Played Fri 9/13, 9:40 time, 4:20 round. Course in decent muni shape.. Greens running a slow 10, soft and bumpy, lots of unfixed ball marks. Decent throughout. Bunkers in good shape. Cart girl going around. I enjoy this course whenever I play.

Played Thurs 9/12, 7:40 time, 4:15 round. course in pretty good muni shape. Greens running a slow 10, soft, quite a few ball marks but tap them down and they mostly roll true. Fairways in good shape. bunkers seemed consistent. Had a good time

Played here today with my monthly group, shout out to Casey's Tournament Players Club. I played here once, about 10 years ago. I did not remember all the undulating fairways. The fairways were mostly in good shape and had really lush kikuyu grass. So lush that I managed to chili dip three shots on a single hole after a good drive. Oh well, I guess I'm not that good yet.

Played here today with my monthly group, shout out to Casey's Tournament Players Club. I played here once, about 10 years ago. I did not remember all the undulating fairways. The fairways were mostly in good shape and had really lush kikuyu grass. So lush that I managed to chili dip three shots on a single hole after a good drive. Oh well, I guess I'm not that good yet. There were a lot of Ground Under Repair areas on the front nine. It appears that there is some revegetation or other landscape construction going on several holes. It did get better on the back nine.

The greens were very soft and there were lots of unrepaired ball marks. By the size of the practice putting green, I guess the course sees a lot of play. Fixing ball marks doesn't seem the be a common practice here.

Fairways and rough were mostly good. Some areas of the rough had some very deep grass, but for the most part your ball would sit up.

Bunker sand was mostly wet and kind of thin.

We played the Blue Tees and most were in good shape.

Pace of play was about 4.5 hours.

I did not get anything from the club house, but my playing partner bought a single 25 oz. domestic beer for $12.

Played as a twosome with my buddy on Thursday 9/11 wit a 2:30 start. At his preference, we played the whites but not much distance between them and the blues generally. The clippings that were a major issue for Inkybeme1 in the previous review were gone when we played and the overall conditions were good.

Played as a twosome with my buddy on Thursday 9/11 wit a 2:30 start. At his preference, we played the whites but not much distance between them and the blues generally. The clippings that were a major issue for Inkybeme1 in the previous review were gone when we played and the overall conditions were good. One consideration is that a handful of the tee boxes have new sod laid over them and those tees were moved forward of the usual teeing grounds — in the case of the par-5 8th hole, somewhat dramatically. That temp tee also made for a seriously tilted surface that was an exception to the rest. So a course that tops out at 5.600 yds played even shorter overall, with holes 8 and 15 especially so. The majority of the tees were good. Fairway conditions were mostly good and usually no issues if you landed there, but there were some overwatered muddy patches distributed over the course that included some fairway. The rough here varies greatly from playable to thick to encroaching wild that can be dirt and/or thick brush. It's one of the challenges of this course and reinforces the penalty for getting off line on this target course. I was in a bunker and it was OK. Green surrounds were inconsistent but Ok for short game. Greens themselves were good. Quick enough but not overly so given the contours of some of the greens.

Bottom line, not having been here in a good while, I enjoyed the course, maybe because I got beat up a little less than usual. But between the sodded tees and wet spots, the course is not playing close to peak conditions right now. Good for casual option, but I suggest monitoring until they have activated the re-sodded tees. They should be an improvement over the old teeing surface and it's good to see that at least they are making improvements.

Course was not effected by the recent fire. Other than maybe 2 holes or so, you do not even smell smoke.

Played here for my 1st time on a Saturday afternoon at 1:04pm. Was pretty open in front of us so they let us head out early. Caught up to the group that went out 20ish minutes ahead of us and had to wait a few times. Nobody was behind us for at least 2 holes so ... » More

Played here for my 1st time on a Saturday afternoon at 1:04pm. Was pretty open in front of us so they let us head out early. Caught up to the group that went out 20ish minutes ahead of us and had to wait a few times. Nobody was behind us for at least 2 holes so we just played at a leisurely pace with some waiting. Round ended up taking 5.5 hours and was MUCH slower than I thought.

Course was in excellent shape BUT some of the bunkers don't have sand in them and not marked as being under repair. Also, not sure what happened but they did not roll the greens and were not the smoothest.

Regardless, it was a fun round and weather was in the low 80s in the middle of Sept.
