Played spur of the moment 1:27 time. POP was good right at 4 hours, times are spaced of course. Caught up with the earlier groups on 10, but then just sporadic waiting. Bunkers in great shape with nice sand, I did have to smooth out some foot prints while I was in the two I found, but had good lies myself . . . that's the good parts. Tee boxes fine. Fairways, decent enough. Rough, variable and patchy. Greens were slow, bumpy and basically hit and hope. Looked like they had either been punched a month back and/or they were cut so thin we are now down to just barely above ground level. There are bare spots and when fixing the multiple unattended to ball marks I was basically leveling dirt. I do realize the last few places I have played Black Gold, Cross Creek and even San Clemente had greens in great shape, but the disappointment was still there. Last I played Balboa the greens were in excellent shape, smooth, not as fast as before the shutdown, but great to chip/pitch to and accepting of well hit shots. Not right now. Not sure what they are doing but I hope the green conditions improve. Not recommended right now. I'll probably wait at least a month.
