Played 8/6 at 9 am with USCDodger. POP 3 hours.

I came away from this round extremely impressed with the course all around.

The tee boxes were all healthy and level.

The fairways were very good to great and had only a couple very isolated areas that needed some attention. They provided some good cushion which made hitting the ball great but took some roll off the drives.

The rough was thick but not overly penal. Was consistent in areas near the fairways but was a bit spottier once you got away from the fairway.

The sand was well stocked and was fine.

The greens were the highlight of the course. They were big, undulating, smooth, and fast. They held shots very well. Downhillers were a nightmare.

Service was excellent and allowed us to tee off a little early and were friendly.

Played 7/30 at 6:45 am POP a shade under 4 hours.

Teed off with Nick, Vince, and Steve in overcast conditions, cleared up around 10 am.

The course was demanding off the tee with little room to miss on either side, and was, overall, was in very nice shape from tee to green.

Tee boxes were all level, had great coverage, and minimal divot damage.

The kikuyu fairways were very healthy and had really nice surfaces to play off of. The healthy kikuyu of course doesn’t provide much roll out which makes the course play a bit longer than the yardage.

The rough was healthy and thick. It wasn’t long enough to ruin a decent tee shot but still made to think about how it would affect your shot.

The greens were generally very good. It was a damp morning so the greens sped up a touch as we made it through our round and they dried off a bit. The ran very smoothly and were not quite as quick as the looked. There were a few spots of unrepaired pitch marks but were pretty isolated.

I did not find myself in any bunkers but saw some very well hit shots out of them today by my playing partners.

Saw the marshalls a few times who were friendly and the beverage cart making rounds about 10 am.

The service in the restaurant after the round was great and the food was very good too.

Played in the gk cup team match play outing 7/28 with Johnny, Mattias, and Evan. Was a great group to play with.

Overall, I was very impressed with the conditions and layout. The conditions were above to well above average in most facets, it’s clear the management is putting their resources into improving the course.

The greens and surrounds were the highlight of the course. The greens were quick and rolled well. Evan did a great job of fixing as many pitch marks as he could since there were quite a few out there. The surrounds were well maintained and provided good lies which meant you had options for trying to get the ball close to the hole.

The fairways and rough were also good to very good. Sure, there was a little browning in spots, but the grass was just brown, not dead, so they were fine to hit off of. There were a few wet spots.

Many of the bunkers had very new sand which will be nice in a few months once it settles, but was a brute to get out of since it was so fluffy ( I was not in any but this was the consensus of the group).

The biggest area in need of improvement were the tee boxes. Especially on the par 3’s they were pretty chewed up, were put in funky spots to avoid previously used spots but that lead to uneven and sometimes downhill lies on the box.

Service was excellent from check in, club cleaning taking me to my car and taking the cart back, and in the restaurant.

Made the double loop on 7/23 at 8:30 am. 4:14 POP

The highlight here was the greens. They were the qucikest (medium fast) and smoothest I’ve seen them in years. They played pretty firm, and held well struck shots well.

The fairways had good to very good coverage and were a pleasure to hit from.

The rough looked like it hasn’t but cut in weeks in some areas. In sports it was typical 2-3 inches but in others was closing in on 9-12 inches and was a brute to hit out of. Had a playing partner lose a ball because we couldn’t find it left of 7th hole.

Tee boxes were level with good coverage as the move the par 3 tees around quite often.

Always think the layout here is a bit more interesting than Given credit for and peovides a good golfing experience despite no range.

Played 7/15 at noon. POP 4:45. Course is in as good of shape as it’s been in a while.

Tee boxes were pretty good outside of the par 3s which were pretty chewed up and could use some rotation.

Fairways were good to very good throughout with a few exceptions that were pretty limited in size.

Rough was thick in spots, thin in some, and dirt in others.

Greens have been consistently healthy and rolled very well since they recovered from the most recent punching. They’re finally a bit quicker than they were past few months. Still not fast but not crazy slow at this point.
