Played 1/7/23 12:30. Busy day but was able to get 18 in right before dark. Course has improved since last time. Fairways still thin and wet but played fairly well. Greens have improved a lot. Still some minor damaged areas, but seldom would caused any big issues. A little bumpy, receptive at a medium pace. Tees and traps are still the weakest points. Cart girl made a round. Over all in decent and playable shape.

Played 12/9/22 12:20. Finsihed last hole in the dark, but was able to finish behind some slooow play. Course difinitely has many rough areas. Fairways are cut tight, very firm and are dormant. They have dyed them green. Which creates a little deception. They look lush, but are very firm and dry requiring good ball striking. There are a couple of holes (4 & 13) where a seamingly great shot down the middle will lead to the ball far off in the rough after roll out.
Greens are a little bit of a mixed bag. Most of the greens have some small to medium sized damaged areas that they have sanded. The good parts were very good. Very firm, quick with decent roll. Problem can be if you have to putt accross any of the damaged areas. Normaly the greens here are super soft, receptive and on the slow side. Today they were the opposite. I've never seem them this firm and quick before. I would like to see them like this more often. The 18th green is back open after their fertilizer mishape and was in good shape. Traps firm and inconsistant. Tees were in very rough shape. Tees have alway's been the roughest and toughest part of this course to maintain. They are small and get a lot of iron play so they get beat up often & easily. Over all the course is in fair to good shape, but a little on the rough side. A little over priced for the current condtions, but still very playable and a fun day out in some beautiful scenery.

Played 11/27/22 Looking to escape the holiday crowded courses, I took a small drive out to Arbuckle. A average size 9 holer in the farmlands. Very much a locals course with the nearest courses a fair ditsance away. Some minor elevation changes and norrowly tree lined can make for some challanging shots. Course was in fair shape. Fairways cut tight with spotty grass coverage. Some areas fine and others not so much. Greens still showed faint signs of the last areation. Were very receptive, bumby and slow. Some green sections have a strong break.
Not a course you would go out of your way for, but a fun distraction. I would have to say the $77 for 18 w/ cart is way over priced for the course at this time.

Played 10/28/22 8 am. POP 5 hrs (Tournament) Course is in very good to great shape. Fairway's mostly green & firm. Mostly good lies. Greens firm and ran medium fast to fast.
Traps in great shape. Easy recommend!

Played 8/24/22 3 pm POP 3:50 Fairways looked and played slightly better than last time, but still very firm and dry. The biggest issue at this time is with a few of the greens. Many have burnt out edges and few have bad spots in the interior portions. They had a mishap on #3 & #18. Looked like something mechanically caused. About a 3' wide swath of mostly burnt turf through the middle of #3 and most of #18 green was burnt. They appear to be recovering but are in poor shape. Was told a specialist from Las Vegas is coming to take a look at repair options. The rest of them, other than the edges, were in pretty good shape. Overall, the course is playing fine, just a little rougher than usual.

Played 8-21-22 1:40 $86 4 hrs + Course is looking good and playing well. Fairways mostly green with good to great coverage. There are some thin spots mixed around and you often find one, but mostly good to great. Greens were in very nice shape. Receptive and running at a solid medium pace. A little on the bumpy side. Traps were very firm & T's a little chewed up. Course continues to be in very good shape and a fun course to play. Easy recommend.

Played 8/7/22 3 pm POP 3:45. $ 52
Summer is taking a bite. Fairways are mostly greenish. Cut very tight and very firm. Not much cushion, so good ball striking is important. Many very dry/burnt areas mixed throughout. It is playing more like it does during winter dormancy.
Greens continue to be soft and on the bumpy side at a medium slow pace. Many unrepaired ball marks on this day. Even short pitch shots would leave a dent. A few dead damaged spots on many greens. Mostly along edges. Traps are a mix of good and poor. Most had a crust to the top layer, and NO ONE seemed to be raking their messes. T's typically in poor to fair shape with a lot of divots. Overall, the course is playing just fine, just not in as good of shape as it has been with the hot summer temps. Still very playable and a recommend.

Played 7/20/22 2pm $90 GN Hot deal. A challenging and fun mountain course. Narrow fairways with trees and tall grass lining sides. I lost a lot of balls by missing a little too mutch and found the tall grass. Nice layout with some fun hole designs. Fairways were in great shape. Lush but with not a lot of roll. Rough thick. Greens had been replaced a couple years ago and were firm with Good roll. They looked fast, but were medium at best. Many of the greens had some bad fungus patches, but mostly caused no issues. One of the better values in the area if you can find a deal. Truckee golf can be pricey.

Played 7/2/22 7:20 am POP 3:50 min. $85. Course is in overall great shape. Fairways green and have full coverage. An occasional dry/burnt area along the edges, but they caused no issues. A little on the firm side with great roll out, but very nice to hit from. Mostly firm green carpet. Greens firm, but manageable with well struck shots. Ran at a medium fast pace with excellent roll. Really enjoy these new greens even though short siding yourself can come with a penalty here. Traps in excellent shape & consistent. Tees were the only week part, but no real issues caused. Just some were a little uneven, thin and or a little on the beat-up side. Temps were perfect on this day. An EASY RECOMMEND!

Played 6/25/22 4:20 pm. Got the round in with about 15 min. of day light left. Course is over in very good to great condition. Greens held shots great and ran around medium pace. A little bumpy, but overall decent and with a predictable roll. Some greens have burnt areas along edges, but seldom caused any issues. Fairways in beautiful shape with good coverage. A few dry/ brown areas, but mostly in great shape. Traps a mix of good and dry packed. Tees are always a week spot. Today seemed to be "Let's put them in the most uneven spot day". Temps are pretty warm, but twilight is an awesome time to be on this course. Easy recommend.

Played 6-11-22 6:45 am. $90 Course is in it's typical good shape. Fairways mostly green with fair to good coverage. Many bare/dead areas but seldom caused any issues. Mostly good lies. Greens in good shape. receptive. Running medium pace and only a little bumpy. Was in a couple of traps and both were good. Noticed a few are firm. A couple of the Tees were set in very uneven spots. Very curious? Overall in very decent to good shape.

Played 5/15/22 10 am. $100 First off, I don't know how long ago they installed the new entertainment area ,but I thought it was a pretty cool idea. They created about 8-10 covered hitting bays, about 1/3 of the driving range. Installed heaters, couches, TVs and monitors with Top tracer tech. I'm guessing you can play hitting games to the existing pole markers in the range. Kind of "Top Golf ish". Turned a small container onto a bar w/ a deck on top and around it with a seating area for outside eating and they had a band playing. Looked like a good time could be had there with a group of people.
The course was in overall good to great shape. Fairways had full coverage, but are drying out as previously mentioned. There were a few areas in a couple of the fairways that were completely soaked. Standing water soaked. The carts had wakes in front of them on Hole three.
Greens were very receptive. Ran at a solid medium pace, but a couple of rolls had few bumps along their path from the Poana. Traps & tees were good. Saw the cart girl twice. $100 seemed a little steep, but the course was in fine shape.
