Played here 7/31/23.
This is not a 2.1 course as previously reviewed. I get the impression last review was based on bar service rather than the course itself.

Overall, very good condition, albeit a little soft and soggy in spots.

Tees were a little long but lush.

Fairways were excellent. Medium soft Bermuda but very lush condition.

All bunkers visited had plenty of soft sand and were raked / maintained well.

Greens also on soft with medium pace, but minimal ball marks, smooth.

A little bit of a tricky layout in spots, but a decent value for OC. POP was good, at 4 hours and friendly service at check in, pro shop, and courteous grounds crew who stopped mowing / working when ever we approached or were in the area.

Played 7/20/2023.
Lots of very positive improvements here.

Good coverage in fairways, greens rolling nicely and quite smooth. All bunkers I hit from had very good sand. A couple greens are new 15 & 18, I believe, and are much firmer than all others.

Played here years ago and I don't recall exactly what layout changes are, but new routing is pretty solid. First 4 (formerly back nine) are quite tough.
There are a few quirky holes. Par 3 4th plays 200 straight up hill, a fairway below is a mess. The Par 5 7th is among the narrowest around, but all up, a fun course. Back 9 much shorter than front

Enjoyable conditions, good break from hot weather inland.

Understand bar / restaurant / clubhouse renovations are likely complete in September. You won't recognize from previous condition. Looks great !
