I joined JusGas88 at Tulare with a late morning tee time. Overall the course was in Ok condition maybe a tad under average muni shape. The staff is excellent that’s for sure. They are very friendly and helpful in all aspects of customer service. There has been a lot of work put into the clubhouse and surrounding area (horse shoe pit, outdoor patio) and they are working on the course itself. There will be a new water hazard going in along the inner elbow of the dog leg of the par 5 second hole. That will be very cool.

The green on the par 3 seventh hole has been reshaped since last time and is now a nice two tier green instead of the previous ridiculous super steep sloping green they had there before.

Condition wise, the fairways were really the weak link. Fairways were thin, patchy and had numerous dirt areas throughout. Tee boxes were ok. Most were level with decent coverage and minimal divots. I avoided all bunkers but others were in handful and the traps and minimal sand. Mainly hardbacked dirt with a thin layer of sand.

Greens weren’t too bad. Most rolled fairly smooth, though a few were a little bumpy. Greens rolled at a medium-slow pace. I played at Ridge Creek yesterday which had the greens rolling at their usual medium-fast pace so the greens today at Tulare felt very slow.

POP was at about 4.5 hours which for a Saturday morning I imagine is about right. Carts don’t have GPS but are otherwise in excellent condition with some of the plushest seats you’ll find anywhere. Conditions are bare minimum, but the family running the place are so nice and the price is right so I’m going to try and make it a point to get out here more often and support them.
