Well, this was my first time around this track, and overall, I think it's a very nice parkland style course. There's plenty of sand and water and natural areas to get into trouble in, and plenty of elevation changes to make you think about club selection.

The greens had recently been sliced, which is better than punched, but it still messed with putts. I'm sure when the greens are in normal shape they're excellent.

My only real big beef is that there is no price break to walk. I was very surprised... especially at a course that has recently hosted an LPGA tournament, where obviously, the women walk the course. I still was allowed to walk but paid for a cart... not cool, in my book. If someone can explain why that's a good policy, let me know.

My second issue, was that I wasn't told before I paid that the greens weren't in great shape... I still would've played, but it would be nice to know beforehand.

Conditions were as a rule, not too bad. The greens, as I mentioned... were sliced. The fairways were very nice, if a tiny bit shaggy, but very consistant. The bare spots were recently seeded and fertilized, so that won't be an issue for long. Rough was not crazy-long, but long enough to penalize you. The sand was very nice... well, not so nice when you hack it around like I did today. The tees were great. Flat, good grass, and nicely filled divots.

Again, nice course. Definately feels and plays upscale. The walking thing is a drag in my book... but that's not an issue for many.
