Took advantage to play Lakewood, which I have not played for quite some time. Have to agree with the most recent review. Greens were the highlight of the course. Rolled well and had decent pace. Fairways had good coverage. Rough was at times just brutal. Which was also true of the bunkers for the opposite reason. Rough was thick and lush, while the sand (what there was of it) was thin/hard.
Enjoyed the round, but I must admit that the blue tees are now more than this 79-year-old can handle. Too many holes I can no longer reach in regulation, so it put a lot of stress on the short game. Funny, how different golf courses play when you lose so much distance. Since everyone else was playing the blue tees, it was easier just to suck it up and deal with it. Plus, those are the tees I always used to play. Who says that you become wiser with age

Out early on a really beautiful spring morning. Last day the North is open before they punch the greens, Course remains in very good condition. Green speeds are about 10.5+, which considering all the slope on these greens makes for a real challenge if you get above the pin or short side yourself. The greens are a bit firm, which only adds to the difficulty. Fairways have good coverage, bunkers are fine.

Playing one of my favorite County courses on a beautiful spring morning, Always enjoy playing here with the park like setting and surrounding mountains. Just a wonderful old style traditional course. Greens rolled well and were even better than expected. For the most part, fairways were good, with the occasional bare areas. Bunkers were the worst part of the course - need some sand please. The only real negative for me was my senior discount card had expired and since I do not play "away" that much anymore, decided not to purchase a new one. A decision I will probably regret.

South Course re-opens after being closed for a week for aeriation. As expected, the greens are bumpy and slow. To my surprise, no residual sand remaining? Several of the fairways in certain areas are having sod replaced. Strange that was not completed last week while the course was closed, but maybe the sod was not available? Anyway, nice to see improvements, whenever they are made. Overall, course is in good shape and a pleasure to play.

My last review of the North in February was very cold in the morning. How things have changed in 30 days. 70+ degrees when I teed off at 7am. Quick round to beat the heat. Course is in really great shape right now. Nothing to complain about. They have slowed the greens down a bit, which makes playing much more enjoyable. For a while it was brutal - borderline unfair at times. It gave me more glimmer of what tour players face on a regular basis. With the South course closed this past week for aerification, course has been very busy, paticularly in the early morning. Very enjoyable to play right now.

Nice to get back out to Westridge. Always enjoyed playing this course over the years. Conditions were better than expected. Greens rolled well with good pace. Decent coverage in the fairways. Did not find any bunkers but appeared OK. Staff was great and the senior rate makes this a positive choice to play.

First out on another cold morning. Still cart path only, which was a bit surprising, but better to err on the side of caution. The course is in really nice shape right now, and since they have brought the green speeds down a touch, much more manageable. For a while it was borderline unfair at times, if you were above the cup or short sided yourself. With the rains, not a lot of roll out in the fairways, which I rely on. Better weather expected, so I'm confident things will change.

As excepted, it was and will continue to be cart path only for a while. Other than a brief shower on a few holes, conditions weren't all that unpleasant. Course has handled the rain very well. no issues at all. Greens still had good speed and rolled well and were very receptive. Despite the amount of rain, all the bunkers were excellent. However, looking forward to warmer/drier conditions.

Thanks to the cloud cover, it was not nearly as cold as I expected, in fact almost pleasant out. The rains yesterday just made the greens a bit more receptive. Green speeds were not nearly as quick as the North, which made life much easier. Overall, the course is in nice shape, no issues whatsoever. Now that the fairways have been cut, nice to get some roll out again, which at my age, I really appreciate.

Out early as usual on a rather brisk morning. Not too busy, which was a surprise. The greens are wicked fast right now. Very easy to putt the ball off the green if you're not careful. Do not get above the cup or short side yourself, otherwise you have little chance to leave it close. The rest of the course is in really nice condition - truly a joy to play right now. For those who have played Coto North, the tree on #17 is gone. After being here for 36 years and having so many of tee shots blocked by that tree, it is bittersweet to have to removed. Makes hole much easier, but the loss of the aesthetics is hard to accept.

Nice to be able to get out before the rains. If the forecast is correct, I suspect it will be a few days before I can play again, and then it will car path only for goodness knows how long? Like the North Course, the South is also in very nice condition. The greens are not nearly as fast, and certainly less severe than the North, so scoring was much easier today. Fairways, tee boxes, rough, bunkers all in good shape. Congrats to the staff for their effort and hard work.

Because of the overcast marine layer, it was not as cold as expected at 7am. Much appreciated. Prior review was spot on. Greens were brutal at times; in fact, I putted two balls off the green and the putts were not that far off from being really good. Need to keep the ball below the hole or you have a lot of stress. Overall, the course is in fine condition. No issues whatsoever. It will be interesting to see how the forecasted rains affect conditions.
