I have played this course for almost 30 years and seen it though many a change. The most current "improvements" have come on the back nine in the form or seemingly random mounds lining the two par 5's. Some of the new mounds are not even in play, and the ones that are actually make the short par fives easier by funneling drives back to the fairway that would normally find the rough. I have to believe they added these mounds for aesthetics and not for playability. Regardless, they are making efforts to make this old school track rival some of the new courses in the area. Unfortunately there's only so much real estate to work with so it will always be a short, tight track where houses will be in-play on 14 of the 18 holes. It's wise to keep the driver in the bag for the first 3, and for the longer hitters 5 holes. If you have a hard time driving it straight you'll post a better score leaving the driver at home altogether. They've made great strides in replacing some of the old greens, but because not all have been replaced, and the fact that the native grass is intruding on the newer greens, the greens are inconsistent. Playing on the weekend will test anyone's patience. With the plethora of OB and regular hackers that frequent on the weekends, play is sloooowwwww. I play SRGC for the convenience and nostalgia, and while it's a decent test of accuracy and in better shape than most muni's, if I have an extra 15 minutes to spare, and a couple of gallons in the tank I much prefer a Callippe or a Poppy Ridge tour at the NCGA rate.
