This course as I have said before is my personal KYPTONITE. But not today. Did actually quite well considering my driver left me for a few holes. Tees were up today. Greens were FANTASTIC. Little bumpiness but overall they ran very true. Not so soft with approach shots but the balls did check well with proper shots. Rough was cut fairly short. Easy to find errant shots. Along fairway however rough we fairly thick on average 2-5 inches versus 1-3 further away from the fairway -- go figure. Sand again was pretty good. No hard pan. It was well stocked and nice and fluffy. Fairways were pretty green. In a month it will be fabulous. They are also pretty good about rotating the tees around the tee boxes. Slow round due to just plain crowded.

Played Thursday. T time got pushed from 11:40am to 12:20 pm and did not get out on the course until 1:00 pm.

First time to play at El Dorado. Played Saturday, 2/24 before noon. Great looking fairways for the public course I ever seen. Pace was normal for the weekend(5hrs+), can't complain. Many trees surrounding the fairways and making the fairways look narrow but very playable. Greens were faster than they look. Enjoyed the course and will come back for more.

Played El Dorado on 2/21. This course always beats me up. Course was looking very good this day.

Fairways green unlike Skylinks (Question, why would you plant grass that goes dormant in a climate that plays golf year round?)

Greens a little beat up but still rolling true. Always a little faster than you expect.

Fairway boxes also a little beat up but show me a public course with a lot of play with level tee boxes?

Sand boxes had to be the worst I've ever played on. Unfortunately, this day I've found too many of the traps. Hole 4 (greenside bunker) soft and fluffy. Hole 11 (fairway bunker) very good. Hole 12 (greenside bunker) soft and fluffy. Hole 14 (greenside bunker) very hard. Hole 17 (greenside bunker) very hard. Horribly inconsistent this day. Should take a lesson from Skylinks which have very nice bunkers throughout.

Overall, very good layout. Can't figure out why El Do gets me every time. But a great time nevertheless.

This course is my personal Kyptonite. For some reason I ALWAYS play poorly here. Not much to criticize about the course either. There are no blind shots to the green. It's a straightforward course. What you see is what you get but OMG the greens are super fast. Tap it and the ball will roll 5 feet easily. One green in particular on back 9 (14 I think) had some major repair and some funk growing on the green. The only bad green I putted on. Played well to my game but for some reason or another the rest of my game took a nice long holiday. Tee boxes were in good shape. They really do know how to rotate the tee positions well to prevent wear. Fairways were burned out but I think more b/c of the spring weather and cold snap we had recently. Should be back in good shape when the temps for both night and day equalize. Sand traps were good. Enough sand to get your wedge under the ball and throw it up on the green. We played right before the tournament and the group ahead took off like jack rabbits. We were a walking foursome and the group ahead was at least a half hole in front of us the entire time. We on the other hand were at least a full hole to a hole-and-a half in front of the tournament most of the time. Staff is sharp and on the ball. Knew the manager from when he worked at Los Verdes. Good chap and knows how to keep a tight ship. Kudos guys!

el dorado...always a challenge....good condition with all the play....just wish there were no 5 somes

Played El Dorado today. Crowed as usual, but pace wasn't bad. Greens are in great shape. Firm and fast. Fairways were patchy in some spots, but not bad. Overall, a good day at El Dorado.
