Played last Saturday at 6:50 am. The parking lot was crowded when I got there at 6:15. The course moved along okay, with a 4:15 POP. The snack shack was not open when we passed it between the 11th and 12th holes but I saw that it was open when we were on the 17th tee. Opening at 10:00 or later, there were no services available, other than the range, for the early morning golfers. Glad I brought my own coffee.

The course was playing firm and fast. The fairways were pretty tight and the rough was generally cut down. It was pretty dry also with some bare spots. The highlight was the greens. They were fast and true. Really nice right now. The best I have seen them here in a while. The sand traps have been pretty bad lately, with little sand. I was in one/two when I went for the green on my second shot on 18. The trap was filled with thick beach sand. I popped it out to the next bunker, where it plugged on my 10' shot. I was able to get up and down for par but the sand made it really tough. I am not a fan of beach sand but it is better than no sand! Glad to see they are working on improvements there.

Overall, a beautiful morning on a muni court in pretty good shape. About as good as it can get while conserving water as they obviously are.
