Played 4-11-21. Thought the course would be empty with the final round of the Masters on but not the case. It actually seemed overbooked. First 9 on Mesquite went slow but steady but moving on to Birch had 3 groups waiting on the tee. Pro shop said all courses were backed up. The tee boxes were OK but chewed up and beat up. For the first time the forward tees were in better shape than the rest. Course is very dry with brown patches here and there. The greens showed signs of being punched but were mostly healed. Many brown patches on the greens and they were on the slow side. Green side bunkers were in excellent shape but the ones in the fairway were 50/50 sand and rocks. The kind you know will damage your clubs to hit out of. Some holes had foam and some didn't. Not sure why. Some of the cups were rough around the edges and could repel your ball as it rolled up. Expected nice conditions with a mild and fairly wet winter. It does not bode well for how the course will be in the heat of summer!

Played 4-3-21. Course is in great shape for the most part. Greens ran true with good speed. Some were quite marked up with ball marks. A few looked like the surface of the moon. The Legends course was closed so everyone was on Champions so it was backed up a bit. Had a 2:30 tee time and got out pretty much on time. At the 8th tee the cart girl suggested we play the front 9 again if we wanted to finish in a reasonable time so we did. The rough was deep in places and barely there in others but on the negative there were spots where it was very clumpy and your ball could settle in between and become almost unplayable. Biggest disappointment was the sand. It was 1 step above concrete. Forget everything you have ever learned about bunker play. Overall it was still a fun day of golf and I hope to get back out there a few times this year!
