Was out at Ridge Creek this morning with JusGas88. We had a 10am tee time and got out about 10-15 minutes early. Fairways are starting to green up nicely. Even in the winter when they were dormant the fairways were a pleasure to hit from. Nothing has changed in that area, they are just a bit more pleasant to look at now as they start to turn green.

Speaking of greens. I know Ridge Creek doesn’t do a spring aeration and instead opts for a summer sanding when the fairways are pristine. No argument with their logic but the greens are starting to get beat up a little with pitch marks. Aside from that the greens rolled at a nice medium-fast+ pace.

Bunkers were in great shape. I was only in one and it had ample sand. Justin was in a handful and all were in decent shape. In the past few months, some of the sand traps were marked GUR. Those appear to have all been fixed now.

Tee boxes were beat up, especially on the Par 3’s. Tee boxes are level, but some are heavily riddled with divots.

I always enjoy Ridge Creek and today was no exception. Having 4 birdies helps! My biggest complaint is the course allowing 5 somes and 6 somes out. This is the second time in the last 3 outings it’s occurred. Today the group of six (who I believe started on hole 10) let the two of us through but held up the threesome behind us who were also part of our group. As a result we skipped lunch there at the course being that the others finished 45 minutes after us.
