As expected here a mid morning 5+ hour round on Saturday. The staff gets a 'C' for average effort and friendliness. The carts are basic and getting close to the end of their lives as well. The tee boxes were all level but many were a little thin and shaggy. The rough was for the most part not too long or very thick but did hold up poor shots. The fairways were in surprisingly decent shape with a mix of grasses throughout the course. The fairways showed signs of aeration and had received enough water to promote some growth (very surprised). There was top dressing present on the tee boxes and fairways which was very nice to see. The traps on several holes had new bright white blinding sand in them and rakes! When you did use a rake in one of those bunkers a yellowish tint came out and the sand stuck to your wedge like a magnet which was very odd? The non green side bunkers were hard packed dirt and sand. The greens were in really good condition with few ball marks but in need of a good rolling. They were a little bumpy and noticeably slower on most holes than usual. The 8th hole green was in bad shape on the front side with bare sections and new turf. The overall pace of play has always been an issue here and the course still has eight minute intervals between tee times (maybe giving ten minutes a try might help). The green fees are not out of line now with the local course offerings. There is still a lot of work to do around the outside edges of the course but it was in much better condition than I had expected. Will give it another try but much earlier in the day.
