11/14 al ittle late on this one the joy of getting old I guess. Overall conditions are good. Fairways have good cover a little tight but due to recent rains were on the soft side providing good cushion for irons but a little more challenging for metals. Did notice quite a few unfilled divots as there were a few days of CPO that may have been a factor. Rough 1-2 inches and varied as sometimes whispy and others juicey.
Tees ok with some being rested so markers were generally moved up. Bunkers have ample heavy sand requiring committed swings.
Greens are really good, fully recovered, receptive and quick. Layout allows for some tricky pin placements tucked behind bunkers or near perimmeters to make getting short sided a possibility.
Staff friendly and welcoming as ever and using the birdie card cost was $50.

11/7 guru outing on a balmy somewhat breezy am following a rather slow 4somw waiting almost every shot for a 440 POP but heck nic3 day, good views and even better company thanks to Steve and Wade.
Course just opened to no CPO so there were a fair number of unfilled divots but it was evident that staff had been making the rounds to catch up. Fairways in really good shape providing excellant lies. Rough was minimal and in come areas dry and whispy. Tees lush and level. Bunkers well groomed but depth of sand tended to vary requiring attention prior to swinging.
Greens rolled very smoothly medium fast with some tricky reads as topography definitely was an influence but often hard to detect.
Great staff easy check in. Carts have interactive GPS. Really nice DR with grass and quality balls. Practice green replicated on course conditions.
Fun day in the desert. Thanks Johnny for setting it up.

11/3 100 tee time using teeoff $34 after $10 rewards deduction, breezy a little cool but nice for a fall afternoon. POP right at 3. Current conditions are good to fair with fairways a little thion so lot of tight lies. Rough about 2 inches playable but definitely impeds roll. Tees vary as there are new ones in play and more under construction. Oldert tees are worn and not very level. Bunkers have been refilled with ample sand some of which is heavy and thick.
Greens have recovered but the variable weather seems to have made a few to look a little stressed. Overall rolled well medium fast and pretty true.
Easy check in by friendly staff. Renovations continue and progress is evident. Anticipating completion Feb 2023.

10/3 off at about 830 on a pleasant SC morning slightly overcast with an intermittent light breeze following a 4some and a single walker but played steady with 3 1/2 POP.
Found many lies in the fairway rather thin or settling down to the ungrassed area between the better cover. Funny how today a few inches would make quite a difference as to the lie while last week here my ball was better at finding the grass. Oh the humanity or thats the rub. Rough about 1-2 but enough to slow the ball and to be grabby at times.
Tees level but well worn but playable. No bunkers but they looked good. Some have been reconfiguered to have the layered faces. Quite the look.
Greens were dry faster and rolled true and receptive. Most are elevated and do not forgive misses as every close shot bounces away.
Friendly staff, easy check in with golf moose voucher. Was glad to hear that punchng was moved back a week so the Goat gets to punish me again next week.

9/26 using golf moose $80 2some on a really nice fall am with a 320 POP with some time spent looking to find the errant shots. Had not been here for 6 mo or so and overall was impressed with the upgarades, lot of grass where it was dirt and some new tee boxes. Fairways varied for quite good to thin in places as the heat has been an issue. Lies were ok to good. Rough was cut short but caught yout attention.as to shot making. I founf that the rough was actually helpful as it prevented excessive roll out and kept the ball in play. Never hit a bunker but they looked well maintained.
Tee boxes were level but some were chewed up. Most teeing areas are rather small so even with rotation they take a beating.
Greens are healthy with good cover. At 8 am they were wet and had not been brushed nor mowed so were on the slow side but got better as the round progressed.
Easy friendly check in. Range is closed early mondays. Carts are basic but effective. Fun layout where accuracy is primary.
