Played only 9 holes on Sunday due to a front that came in quick and fast and hard and practically blew us off the course.

We had a big rain over the weekend and was happy to get 9 in but was pleasantly surprised how well the course drains and soaks up water. Had 1 mud ball the entire 9 we played and that was because it in the hardpan/muddy area right of 1 fairway.

Greens were rolling well but slower than normal and that cost me many strokes! But overall the front 9 was in good shape.

The bunkers on the other hand were covered in rocks. My buddy and I refused to hit out of them because there was so many rocks. I get they probably didn’t get much work due to the rains but man I’ve never seen so many bunkers littered with rocks.

Got a rain check for 9 + a cart to finish our rounds and already looking at the weather!

Played a day earlier than Alex did, and won’t go into great detail because it’s obviously very similar to Alex review on Madera. The greens seemed slower than the typical Madera green speeds but also they were in good shape!
I still have a problem when the tee boxes are not flat. We play from the Blue tees but the white tee box on 1 is by far one of the worst around. It literally sits on a hump and your feet are either above the ball or below the ball and it runs the length of two or three clubs and not sure why they never level it or move the tee box to a flatter area.
Got a Hot Deal so it was worth the price on my end.
Still one that is an easy walk!

Went out this weekend on a GolfNow Hot Deal. Course was starting to get its green. It's still not 100% green, with a few yellow areas, but for the most part, this course is getting to its summer green. The greens were rolling nicely, with a few pins in places that were fairly tough if you came in from the wrong spots.
Tee boxes were in really good shape, especially with the tournament that was in front of us.
One cause for concern, is the bunkering, and I get it with the recent heavy rains we had. But there is a lot of bunkers that have a very thin layer, and had no consistency. Also a lot of rocks in the bunkers as well.
Overall, still one of my top favorite courses in Fresno area. The food is really good too! Can't wait for the GK Plays event in June!

Just a quick update for Riverside. Played yesterday, 3-24-19, tee time was 7:00, second off. Course is in decent shape. Greens were rolling decent, still had the morning dew on them. But the fairways in spots were tough, not sure if they had a tournament the day before but there was a TON of divots that weren't covered up with sand. I know the big City Am tournament is coming up and the rough is starting to grow in thick in many spots. But overall, typical expectations of Riverside. They get a ton of play, especially on the weekends. If you don't want to fight the crowds and this is the only option, get out there before 8am. Tiny greens, so make sure your wedge game around the greens is up to par!
