I really enjoyed playing a couple of rounds here the last couple of weeks. The bunkers are in terrible condition but they're just undertaking a project to replace 40 of them. Not sure how many are on the course, seems like I found most of them today. But all in all, a nice variety of shots and the greens are quick and true.

I was down in Long Beach moving my son into his college apartment for the year so I was super eager to check out this historic track. It exceeded my expectations. A wonderful 'old school' muni with lots of variety and nuance. I played with a couple of high school kids from nearby Woodrow Wilson HS. One kid 'Jet' crushed the ball, driving the green on both #1 and 2. My modest 220 yard 'old man' drives still served me well though. Can't wait to come back.

My first time playing the course earlier today. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Lots of elevation changes and variety of shots. Course was in fairly good condition. I also enjoyed some of the signature holes such as #9 and #18. #9 feels like you're dropping a shot down a mine shaft. And as much as #18 is presented as a par 6, it's really not. I hit a poor drive (175yds), they punched a 3 metal that left me 165yds to the pin. But what a fun hole!

My first time on this historic course. So many of my East Bay friends have raved about it so I finally had a chance to play it. Paid $37 for the senior rate with a cart and played with two good friends of mine plus a capable fourth who was added to our group. But elevation changes starting with the uphill #1 hole then down the slope of #2 and #3. After that it flattens out for some great parkland style holes. I really enjoyed the challenge the holes presented. We played from the middle (white) tees. One thing I could not adjust to was the slow pace of the greens. I think they're the slowest greens I've ever putted on. Overall, a fantastic day with friends on one of the most historic courses in the greater SF Bay Area.
