Played the course on a cold but crisp day this week, after several days of steady storms in the area. But you wouldn't know it from the firmness of the greens, which were a joy. The course as always was in immaculate condition. My only gripe has nothing to do the conditions but rather the severity of "mounding" on the greens. These greens, not the complexes, are poorly designed and not really designed to be played at the speeds they were running. If the architect was trying to imitate St Andrews then the speeds should have been in keeping with the course conditions (generally slower), but if its meant to be Augusta (during the Masters) then why bother inviting the general public. The refurbishment of the 2 golf courses is generally positive, but it has led to a degree of sameness to the holes in that the challenge is relentlessly the same over the 18 holes, and I am not talking about water. The bunkering is predictably in the same locations on all holes vis-a-vis the sight lines, and barring a few holes does not allow for run-up shots that would be useful to counterbalance the movement and speed in the greens.

course is in good shape even after a fairly hot summer. greens seemed to be overwatered but were rolling true though a bit on the slow side.

Certainly not a course where you can just "whale" away. Requires conservative play tee to green to score well. Generally well-maintained, but can be quite wet in patches even during the summer months.
Staff is friendly enough for a municipal facility.
Hole no. 18 doesn't flow with the rest of the holes as even the lay-up 2nd shot is an extremely tricky one and you could be standing with a long iron for your 3rd into the green. I've played this course about 7-8 times and the sequence has been driver, 6 or 7 iron (to avoid the bunker and find room in the landing area) and then a 5 or 6 iron into the green. This is when there is no SW wind.
