Ventured out to La Purisma yesterday to play some golf with Apisarski, Gregholla, and Fastfish433 on a cold 36º morning with no frost delay. We had some golf moose certificates that we decided to use and it makes the course 100% worth it. It had been a few years since I played here last (gk event) and I didn't remember much of the course. I quickly started to realize that accuracy is key here especially on the front nine. The course is a little hilly and has no homes on site which is very nice and it gives you a pure golf feeling. Carts are basic with no GPS and they have golf boards as well as a new motorcycle that Apisarski paid the $25 to use. He has a blast using it and may have had more fun just goofing around with it than golf.

As for conditions there are pretty decent right now with the highlight being the greens. They rolled perfectly smooth and medium pace. I did not see a single divot or issue all day with the quality of the greens, easily a solid 9/10. The fairways were mostly good with a few areas here and there that were thin but usually decent to hit from. Rough was a mixed bag, short by the fairway and a touch longer near the greens. Tee boxes, we played the combos and noticed that they were a little chewed up today Nothing terrible but they needed to be moved. I was in one sand trap and it was almost like beach sand a little heavy and wet but nice to play from.

The facilities are nice and they snack shop was open with a full menu plus a good deal on beer. Driving range is very beat up and I am not sure there was any play to move the boxes because the entire range was chewed up. I assume they are focusing on the course itself but the range needs a little TLC. The girl in the proshop was super friendly and looked to be working all alone even calling out the players to the tee box so props to her for working hard.
