Played here today (3/25) with GK member Kassper7 and my buddies Jeremiah and Josh on a 10:00AM tee time on what was forecasted to be consistent 20MPH wind with gusts in the 40's, that simply didn't transpire until nearly the end of the round! I have always enjoyed Classic Club more than just about any other course out this way, even if it does beat me up quite easily, but the more I play it, the greater respect I have for its design and conditions.

Tee boxes: Played the white tees today and felt they were in good shape overall. There are various tee options here and since most people THINK they can play the tips or the next up, the whites were in probably better shape than expected.

Fairways: Carpet, simply put. A few divots peppered here and there and perhaps not as pristine as Shadow Ridge, but a smidge less is still a 9 in my book. Fair roll today.

Rough: More penal than Shadow Ridge and found more of it. Gripped your clubs as you tried to fight through it.

Bunkers: Bunkers a plenty, all in good shape with great amounts of nice sand. Rake provided in your cart too!

Greens: Had what I deem a very fine sand top dressing on them that didn't seem to affect roll. Breaks at times were tricky but speed and false fronts were biggest guards to these.

ETC: Wonderful property, Troon operated so all class. Greeter to start, beverage attendant on course, helpers after to clean clubs; it's what to be expected for this place and they deliver. Play in the AM to try and avoid winds. $15 food/beverage voucher and new Classic Club towel continues to be included with green fee. Pace today was 4.5 on the dot but waited/were pushed nearly every hole after #3. A top 10-20 course for me!
