As expected here a mid morning 5+ hour round on Saturday. The staff gets a 'C' for average effort and friendliness. The carts are basic and getting close to the end of their lives as well. The tee boxes were all level but many were a little thin and shaggy. The rough was for the most part not too long or very thick but did hold up poor shots. The fairways were in surprisingly decent shape with a mix of grasses throughout the course. The fairways showed signs of aeration and had received enough water to promote some growth (very surprised). There was top dressing present on the tee boxes and fairways which was very nice to see. The traps on several holes had new bright white blinding sand in them and rakes! When you did use a rake in one of those bunkers a yellowish tint came out and the sand stuck to your wedge like a magnet which was very odd? The non green side bunkers were hard packed dirt and sand. The greens were in really good condition with few ball marks but in need of a good rolling. They were a little bumpy and noticeably slower on most holes than usual. The 8th hole green was in bad shape on the front side with bare sections and new turf. The overall pace of play has always been an issue here and the course still has eight minute intervals between tee times (maybe giving ten minutes a try might help). The green fees are not out of line now with the local course offerings. There is still a lot of work to do around the outside edges of the course but it was in much better condition than I had expected. Will give it another try but much earlier in the day.

Early morning round in a little over four hours on an extremely busy course. The staff is great and carts are good but do not have gps. The tee boxes were all in pretty good shape with a couple 12th and 16th being sloped. The rough was still quite thick and penal on most holes but did hold up wayward shots. Finding those shots was another story but not impossible. Fairways were in very good shape with excellent coverage. The traps were in better condition today than in past rounds but a few still were damp or puddled with water. The greens had been punched earlier in the week and were still very bumpy. It looked like all they needed was more sand on them to fill in the indentations of the holes? The course was extremely damp in places that it didn't need to be. Seems like a waste of water especially when sections of the course are squish squish soggy. I would say a couple of weeks is needed before the greens are in top shape again. The rates are very reasonable and it's always nice to play at a busy well run facility.

Sunday morning round in about 4.5 hours on the Creek/Oaks nines. The new carts are more comfortable than my truck. The staff is always great with a good sense of humor. The tee boxes were all level with good coverage except the second hole on the Creek which was well beat up and thin. The rough was pretty brutal on the Oaks being 5-6" and damp. It was impossible to locate two wayward shots that ended up in it. Frustrating! The rough on the Creek was still fairly long but much more manageable. The sand traps all have plenty of great sand but most needed to be raked and were damp. The greens were all in really nice shape and slightly slower than I've seen them in the past. The course is probably as lush and green as it has ever been. Great job by the maintenance staff! Always enjoy playing the course.

Early morning round in a little over four hours. They have moved their tee times to ten minute intervals which had helped with the pace of play. The staff is good and the carts as well but no gps. The tee boxes were all level but a couple were slightly sloped and most needed to be mowed. The rough was very thick for the most part and about 3-6" of damp green grass. At times shots could be hit from the rough if you could locate your ball. The traps were all very well groomed and most had adequate sand but many were wet. The fairways were all very tight with dormant bermuda but were not dried out. The tight bermuda provided for good roll also. The greens were punched on Monday and were all quite bumpy and slow for this course. The greens will probably need a couple weeks to get back to their usual quick smoothness. The rates had been discounted this week which made the course worth a round. The regular rack rates are a bit high for the area in comparison to other courses. I always enjoy playing here and suggest others give it a try.

Early am round in about 4.5 hours on a mediocre course. Staff is good but carts are in really poor shape. The putting greens were in good condition but not so much on the course. The rear tee boxes were shaggy, thin and mostly sloped. The rain has filled in the low lying sections on a few holes making for some penalties that haven't been there for many years. The rough is a mix of thick weeds and/or grass of various types. The fairways for the most part are in very poor shape with bare sections, weeds, grass and rodent damage. The traps were all raked/packed well but most were not playable with a few looking like small fish ponds. The greens are usually the highlight of this course. It would have been great if they were all like the practice green but only a few were. Most greens had good coverage with few bare spots on them and minimal ball marks. The sad part was the greens were bumpier than the cart paths. Your ball needed a pair of shocks to keep it rolling smoothly today. The course has a great layout and a few water features that make it nice to play. Years ago the conditions were very good - not so much nowadays.
