Well Ole Vic is open again and playing a FULL 18 holes. Course is in pretty good shape if you look at just the greens. They run a bit slower than the look but they run true. No bouncy balls, very little divot repair work needed. Fairways are a different story. They look bare and thin. You can deal with it but expect a lot of roll for your ball when it hits the ground. Traps were the biggest suprise. Unfortunately for me I hit more than my fair share of them and I am happy to say their sand is pretty fluffy. No hard pan here they are pretty well filled. Currently they are working on improving their Environmentally sensative area with a new irrigation system. Don't ask me why but they are also planting a few more shurbs and weeds so by Summer it should a pretty nice place to loose your ball. At the moment however it's barren. Tee boxes are OK and looks like they do a pretty good job of rotating the tee spots. Played with the wind most of the round and it can get pretty dusty. Bring your Allergy pills if you want to play a halfway decent round without the tearing and stuffy nose.
