Summer conditions update.
Mid-day on a moderate heat summer day for 9 holes of play.
Easy check-in and just a few minutes late. The group in front of us didn't raise the clear signal flag on the 1st hole so we had a little extra spacing to start before we caught up.
Greens rolling well holding the high wedge shots. Well kept respect the downhillers. I made a few long ones so extra star rating.
Fairways are fast and dry with run out. Mostly green a few brown areas and a couple gur wet areas. As expected.
Bunkers good. I was in the front one on 9 and it was machined. Easy out.
Family owned and operated. Good service, cold beer and fun.
Parred the signature hole par 3 4th. Martin made one foot putt on 8 for his first career birdie

Out early dew sweeping today. Mild weather and a day you'd choose if you were trying to entice someone to play day break golf.
Greens in good shape. If they were cut lower it would be preferable for play, but maybe not long term health as hotter weather is looming end of the week. Fully healed from aeration 4/19. That process was successful imo. Hit'em firm and inside the cup edge.
Second hole cpo and still saturated in spots rest of the fairways good. Drive was in a divot on the par 5 6th and chose to move it.
Bunkers a bit damp darker sand a few pebbles.
Tee boxes ok will need mowing asap some longer pieces of grass here and there.
The US flag was yet to be raised and I asked if I could do so, and was allowed the honor for Memorial Day.
Quick 1.5 hr 9 holes and home before the coffee got cold in the carafe.

3/17 St. Paddy's play. Early sun up 9 holes then returned for the 2nd loop at 2:30pm by then enjoying a green beer from the snack bar.
Overall general conditions are good for the price point. The bunkers are a bit dark and damp. Hard to define where the fairway to the rough transition is in most spots. I played the ball down and was ok 95% of the time getting what I deserved for a lie.
The greens rolling very nicely on the faster side, both freshly mowed and later in the day. Probably close to the best they get here and it was fun. I made my share so that helped.
As good condition right now to other courses at higher fees. Downhill putts needed touch. The putting surfaces are what will keep me coming back regularly as the warmer spring sun should get the rest of course growing in and dry out the wet areas.
Three holes CPO 2, 5, & long par 3 7th ; I usually walk.
Weather was sunny and mild so a great time had by all.

Back to the roots of the game and my memories. Played first out Sunday with a 6:10 tee time.
A light drizzle began to fall as we ate our breakfast burrito at the picnic tables (brought with us) under the oak trees near the #1 tee. Tee'd off on time but could not see the ball flight. Like we used to do in N.E. dew sweeping dawn patrol. Play by feel until the dawns early light. Found it in the fairway and made par to start. This week the tee times start at 6:30!
Greens are the highlight here. Enjoy the solitude of out early. We were passed by a single who said he likes running and speed golf on #2 fairway.
Overall no frills and fits the fees at $17 walking.
I call it coming back to my people after volunteering at Martis Camp Sr. Amateur last week. A course I will enjoy as a treat on volunteer day in October for sure.
My go to course to walk and work out my swing for more distance. Lag in process.
Great ownership now, they are working on the little details all the time to bring this course back into shape.

Quick update. It's all systems go at the regulation 9 hole course. Greens are rolling nice. As good or better than courses of double the green fee in the area. Rest of the course in good shape and c... Continue »

Quick update. It's all systems go at the regulation 9 hole course. Greens are rolling nice. As good or better than courses of double the green fee in the area. Rest of the course in good shape and cleaned up from a couple weeks ago. Bunkers have been machined worked and have too much sand in bottom for my one time visit.
Delayed on the 8th tee by a shotgun tournament (we were first tee time of the day) no one behind us so we putted extra and waited for them to clear. Still under 1 3/4 hr POP
Ownership and staff doing good things here.
The tourney put a target in the 8th fairway. I hit to 20 ft from about 200 yards marked my spot and signed off as "me". It's just fun!

Raised the weekday rate = to weekend $17 to walk 9 holes.
Greens ok medium speed still see aeration holes here and there.
Most noticeable through the green was the areas you don't want to be and shouldn't for the average player a little shaggy taller than normal grass. And the course is wet. Seems a controlled or not irrigation of almost too much water in areas. . Many drainage areas damp and or muddy as well as a few tee boxes. It was hot last week. Cooler this week. Formula to grow green grass the layman thinketh. See how this theory works out next week. We showed up late for our time. (third guy long distance) and were accommodated behind the periwinkle Sr. group. That was ok pace for our group of three FUN! 2.25 POP

The 9 holer is playing ok. Overall good conditions getting better. Had been rained out of two tee times here in the last two weeks. The greens slower and bumpy due to the aeration. Fairways are not in play it down conditions but good coverage. Bunkers had water in some most raked and machine worked when possible.
When the greens are "normal" they make the round more fun.
Good vibe here and close enough to home makes it a go to course when 9 holes i$ the agenda.
$16 to walk fits. $5 draft pints. the snack bar can be accessed after the 3rd hole. Signature 4th hole is par 3 downhill over the pond.

Played 8/12 mid-day fairly busy 9 holes just over two hours. Slower pace than I prefer. Still $16 to walk same value as two years ago. Not many courses have done this!

Couple areas of GUR on or around greens. The super did this intentionally to repair another spot. Healing nicely and has his full attention. Rest of putting surfaces nice. Fairways a bit dry and firm good roll out rough pretty much cut down most areas. Tee boxes good. Bunkers ok.
Had a bogey string going until the tough par 3 7th into the wind where we spoke to the greenskeeper.
Beer was cold sky was cloudless. Oddly mid-day the practice range and green left of first hole was deserted.
Nice walk on MGF; mandatory golf Friday.

Played 9 holes 11/19 afternoon under mild fall conditions. For a $16 dollar to walk & $8.50 for a can of bud and IPA draft a pleasant stroll in the foothills.
Greens rolled well showing the evidence of aeration holes darker than surrounding areas. Otherwise smooth medium pace. Should be completely healed soon. Many other parts of the course are reseeded including many tee boxes and teeing areas moved to front tees. Bunkers ok a few muddy from recent 1"+ rain day(s) prior.
Covid protocols and extra $5 if you want your own cart. Good time and didn't lose a ball. a few pars including #2 uphill par 4.
