Played today with a mid-morning tee time. It took us about 3:45 to play 18. We had to wait to tee off on almost every hole. Playing under COVID-19 rules. No rakes in bunkers, leave pins in holes on greens, no ball washers. Being a Sunday, they made us walk the front 9 and then we can get a cart for the back 9. It cost us $12 to rent a cart for 9 holes. At the turn we had to wait for carts that came off 18th hole. It's really tough to walk the front 9. There's a small hill approaching the 3rd green and there's a elevated green on the 5th hole. At least the weather was overcast and cool today. Saw a couple coyotes on the 8th tee.

I should have checked here before I played to find out that the greens were recently punched. Aeration on the greens were with big holes and a lot of sand. Putting was very slow and bumpy with all the sand on the greens. I say you should wait 2 - 3 weeks before greens are back to normal. Teeing areas had good coverage. There were a couple of teeing holes that are being re-seeded. The 10th tee was currently being re-seeded. The fairways were just in so-so shape. There were decent coverage but there were many thin and yellow areas. Landed in a few bunkers and found that some were a little thin and mostly dirt. Rough tends to be fairly lush.

The driving range was open with physical distancing in effect and face masks required. Haven't been here in a while and they removed the thick mats with the real feel turf mats where it's hard to put your tee in the mat. Face masks are required to enter the golf shop to pay with a credit or debit card. The snack bar was open for take out only. Came here to mostly practice my short game. Love the views of downtown LA from the 15th tee.
