Played yesterday with a tee time just after 8 and things were running ahead of schedule so we did tee off a few minutes early. Was actually surprised that we made the turn at a little over 2 hours and finished the round at about 4 hours 15 minutes.

Greens were fabulous. It is odd they look a little brownish but they putted fantastic. I didn't think they were as fast as I've seen here or expected but still a very good pace.

Fairways were great although they are quite narrow. I thought they were pretty firm in that I hit a couple of drives that seemed to roll a bit further than where I usually end up. But I couldn't figure if that was wind or the fairway. Maybe I just hit a sprinkler head. Given the amount of play there are quite of few divots. Most had been filled but some hadn't

Tee boxes were good. We played brown/taupe or whatever it is called. Markers were in their normal locations. Good coverage except the tee box on 8 should just be redone. Even after 2 weeks of not being used it still has many divots although it is better than its been in the past.

Rough is brutal. Luckily as a group we only lost 1 ball but there were times it did take all 4 of us to find it and we all certainly paid attention to everyone else's shot. The rough had been cut down since the tourney and is still penalizing. During the course of the round my thought changed from trying to save par to saving bogey. I hit a great drive on 17 that I thought was in the fairway but somehow trickled in the rough. I was maybe a foot in the rough and could barely advance it with a PW. Don't get me wrong there were some lies and spots where you can get lucky and get plenty of club on it.

Customer service was great. Check in is back in the pro shop so you can be tempted to buy some merchandise.

Short game practice area was open but I have no idea for how long this will be the case. Range is still the same and hasn't changed in the 50 years of existence. I played my behind off and have never felt good about shooting an 80 as I did yesterday. Good time to play out here if you're into punishing yourself but tee times are still hard to come by.
