Got a Hot Deal time this morning at 7:50AM for $44 with cart. This course is in fantastic shape at the moment. I know that they are supposed to aerate the greens in a couple days, so the greens will be out of commission for a while. Today, everything from tee to green was very lush and a great course layout by RTJ Jr. A must play if in the area!

Played the Merlot/Chardonnay Nines on an unbelievable deal booked through the Poppy Ridge website for $25 with a cart at 2PM and just finished 18 as the sun was almost down. Overall the course is in great shape except that the greens were pretty bumpy. Just looked like they weren't cut this morning. This is a very tough course off the tee and while some holes I disagree heavily with the design, I learned that the best way to play this course is to stay patient and not pull driver on every hole. Sometimes, the smart move is to leave 200 yds. into a par 4 and aim at the center of the green for par. This mean't pulling 3 iron off the tee more times than driver. The course is worth the rack NCGA rate, but I am not sure about the general public rate.

I am sure glad that I made the trip up to Yocha-De-He yesterday from sacramento. I have heard great things about this course and decided to check it out for myself. The customer service around the entire course was top notch from check-in, to the cart attendant explaining to me where the various practice facilities were (driving range, chipping green, 2 practice putting greens) to the starter at the 1st tee who took the time to explain the pace of play program that Troon Golf has for the golf course and managed to get me out a few minutes early. I played from the tips (~7300 yds) which made some of the longer holes very tough with the consistant 20mph wind with 30mph+ gusts all day. I was told after the round that it usually hit or miss with the wind and that the fall is when the wind tends to pick up.
The condition of the course all around was perfect. The tees were lush and level; fairways were all lush with not any visible excessive divot damage; bunkers were fluffy white sand; rough was lush and thick varying from 2-3in. around the fairways to up to 4in. around the greens; and the greens were in fantastic shape rolling very quickly but oh so smooth. If you start a putt on the correct line, it will find the bottom of the cup every time.
Even though it is a bit of a drive from sacramento through some country roads, it is absolutely worth every bit of the drive and the reasonable green fee ($89 weekday with cart and range balls stacked in pyramids). I will be back hopefully very soon and often.
