Quick update: Did NOT know before we go'd! The greens had been large tine punched a little more than a week ago. They are more than 50% healed no sand a few bumps and slower than usual.
Pro shop offered the info at check-in and gave us a discount without asking. Turned that into a beer at the turn. POP great as usual for the dew sweepers out early. Greens were mowed but a bit of dew came back and a few mosquitoes until the sun rose higher.
Pleasant conditions and the usual cool vibe here with other golfers and the staff.
I asked about the unusual amount of clover in the fairways and was told that was going to be chemically dealt with soon. Bunkers have the new sand and play well if maintained.

Quick update from 9/11 round.

Quick update from 9/11 round.
Course in summer shape. Greens got through the heat wave well. Nice full coverage and color rolling medium speed. Most bunkers are good sand now. If raked really nice to play out of damp but not wet. Fairways are ok with some larger areas of clover growing the only knock on the conditions. Tee box improvements continue. and most are level a little longer grass in spots
A break in the heat wave and little wind did bring out the mosquitos hungry through at least 6 holes early Am.

Good place to play. Fairways, bunkers, greens, and tee boxes all in good condition. Range balls a bit over priced (medium bucket, 50-60 balls, $10). Good practice facility with grass range, practice ... Continue »

Good place to play. Fairways, bunkers, greens, and tee boxes all in good condition. Range balls a bit over priced (medium bucket, 50-60 balls, $10). Good practice facility with grass range, practice bunker, putting green. Tight layout, so keep your wits about you when other groups are teeing off. Worth a visit, especially if you can find a discounted tee time. Couple former ponds are now dry, making the layout much less punishing than it might be otherwise.

Saturday 7/9 joined by Vince his 5th time ever playing golf. The white tees at 5400yds.
Steady progress to report; bringing the courses luster back.
Greens really nice putting fair a bit on the slower side. Consistent very few marks.
The bunkers are all fully done with the re-sand project. A hint of gray color and a bit wet to help settle it. Raked they are nice to play from.
A nice low pressure easy to play course in which errant shots are recoverable most times.
Great vibe here reasonable beer prices. No beverage cart easy bar service at the turn.

Played on Fathers Day this month.
Great weather early time. And as expected course conditions continue to improve. The quality of grass in the fairways and through the green is noticeably improved. Many of the bunkers have added sand making them much better. The greens are smooth and rolling medium speed.
Tee boxes are being leveled on some holes.
Fun fast POP round and home early to watch US Open.

Early out on Mother's Day and the weather was perfect. Then the front came through as predicted with clouds and showers later in the day.

The notable updates on conditions are:

The greens coming around nicely. A week or less to mow off the remaining poa seed heads and they'll be as fine as they get here.

The fairways are filling out and mower stripes visible now. A nice touch.

Some bunkers ok sand others dirt and some others are being filled in. Sand on property so continuing work in progress.

Met Bob who is on assignment out of superintendent "retirement" (WA state) to bring back the course to it's better condition playing days. His advice is working and the steady improvement is evident on the course. The staff is doing what it takes and it shows.

Three weeks in a row here. Liked them all. Time to up the slope level and see if we can score at a tougher course. Will return soon enough.

Played first out 7:04 Sunday. Happy to find the time online. The one course I use the Chat box to book my tee times. Have to give the course kudos for the way they inform you of the green maintenance. Pops-up first thing when you link to the website. NO surprises! THANK YOU.
"On April 4th we will be solid punching our greens, this is a fast healing process."
Truth in advertising and the greens were a bit long and slow but playable and are healthy. A couple more days and they can be cut down to the correct height and will be great. Putts had break but on slower side. The aertiation holes are hardly noticeable no top sand dressing
Rest of the course good to better than normal as well. Fairways good and rough will be thickening up as the weather warms.
A course that you can bang it around and recover from errant shots. Today was a bit windy so some experimental stances and harder than normal swings attempted and the ball can be found and played most times when it doesn't go as planned.
Good place. Good people. Good fun. Not too tough. And it was POP 2.5 hours and we didn't hurry. Home before the Masters telecast came on TV.

Sunday one hour frost delay and the pro-shop / restaurant was busy with players filing in and paying. No frills but all you need. A cool vibe of players mingling (with C protocols) discussing the NFL Saturday results and when he fog would lift. It did yielding to mostly sunny no wind mid 50's perfect. This course is parking lot full most Sunday's
Course damp, the greens cut and serviced. Played well semi-quick and subtle breaks at times and bigger undulations on some holes. Fairways offered roll-out with some dormant areas. Playing it down was fair through the green.
Moved from second to first out because we were a two-some (GOLF MOOSE!) and moved through the front at our own pace. Hit a slower two-some on 10 ; father / son who waited for us to play the par 3 11th and they let us through (clearly learning the game, but knew to let faster groups through) and we got back to wide open play on the short par 4 12th thru 18. We got a beer at the turn and staff was looking out the back door to make sure the group he put out in front of us was not going to slow our pace. Appreciated that.
Overall good scoring put a bigger smile on for the ride back home. The Golf moose deal and the great service and above value conditions keep us as repeat customers every other week in 2022.

Weekend two - of 2022. Sunday second out with no frost a little low fog that burned off to sunshine just after sunrise until the 10th hole when low clouds and cool breeze became dominant. So an interesting day dressed in layers with the knit cap and mitts used all day.

Rudyclub review in Nov spot on as far as the course description and layout. Today it played wet with dew through out. Interesting with a good day off the tee to follow the roll out of my ball it the dew on the fairways. A long one on the 9th (#1 rated) was perfectly straight. Shots into the rough held up quickly robbing distance. Bunkers some are ok some not good. A couple I noticed but avoided were weedy but the rake was still on the edge. Almost picture worthy for a LOL. Greens good rolling a bit slower than normal expected that.

Overall a good round and spoke to the 3-some on the tee who let us go first as we recognized each other as Sunday regulars. We agree that the R.O. facility and track is worthwhile value in our area even with a small drive. Versus public / municipal venues closer to Sacramento that have weekend G fees in the $70+ range. Casual fun atmosphere here is another plus.
