Went out and played 36 holes at La Purisima with RGM2525 on a picture perfect (weather wise) day. This was my second time playing here and I really like the course. The layout is tough, scenic yet a blast to play. There’s plenty of variety throughout the track especially on the par 4’s. A number of the holes require strategic placement off the tee with less than driver. Add in elevation changes throughout the entire course, a few lakes and several oak trees lining the fairways and you have winning combination.

Greens are probably 95%+ healed from their spring aeration earlier this month. Greens were obviously in excellent condition and rolled very smooth at a medium fast pace. Greens held well struck approach shots and even some poorly struck shots! The greens at La Purisima sneak up on you and bite hard! They look fairly tame but trust me they are hard to read with several subtle breaks that as soon as the ball looses speed make an about face and run!

Fairways were nice and green. Mainly lush with an occasional thin area here and there. Most of the rough was manageable and only a couple inches thick. No issues with the tee boxes and the issues I had with the sand traps had nothing to do with the quality of sand! Most traps had a medium depth of sand in them that allowed plenty of room to get a club under.

POP was fine. We waited on few shots on both rounds but still finished the two rounds in about 7 hours. Customer service was excellent. La Purisima is definitely highly recommended. I plan to get out and play it more often.
