Played 3-31-21 early morning walking as a twosome and finishing in a little under 3 1/2 hours. Tee boxes were in nice condition with good coverage and mown tight. Fairways were in very good shape with decent roll out and nice lies that had good cushioning. Rough was in good shape along fairways, about 2 inches and lush. Rough around greens is in really good condition, its thick and lush at about 2-3 inches. Was in one greenside bunker that was in really good condition, nicely groomed with a good layer of heavy brown sand. Greens were rolling very smooth at medium/slow pace, they were a little on the firm side and in great shape. As usual staff is excellent and very friendly. Highly recommend playing.

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.

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.

Played 12-26-20 early morning walking as a single and finishing in about 2 1/2 hours. Tee boxes were in decent shape, mostly level with some divot damage on par threes, manly #3. Fairways were in nice shape with some thin and bare spots here and there, but mostly provided good lies with decent roll out. Rough was in good condition, 2-3 inches and thick around greens and a little shorter along fairways with a few longer areas. Was in one greenside bunker that had a good layer of heavy brown sand. Greens were in great shape, soft and receptive, rolling medium/fast and smooth. Overall course is very green and in nice shape.

Out for a black Friday round at my favorite golf course late morning 11/27/2020. Rode the blues with my buddy Pedro. We were joined by a nice 2 ball Ed and Sue under postcard perfect weather scoring conditions 67 degrees light winds and sunny skies. Pop was 4 hours 5 minutes with just minimal waiting.

Shout out to the friendly La Purisma staff. We warmed up on the all grass range and rolled a few putts on the huge putting green and we were off.

Greens were in really nice shape and have fully recovered from punching about a month ago. They looked shaggy but were true and rolled medium speed, They held irons really nicely. Rated 8/10.

Fairways had nice coverage, Would not say wall to wall lush green grass but never had a bad lie in the fairway. Rated 7/10.

Tees were mostly level and those that were not perfectly level you could always find a level stance. Some of the tees were receiving some sanding/maintenance so not going to currently rate them at this time due to that.

Rough was mostly lush just lining the fairways, thinner in other spots. Rated 6.5/10.

Bunkers had no rakes due to covid-19. Thicker brownish sand that was in decent shape. Many footprints with no rakes. Rated 6.5/10.

Highy recommended. Greens in good shape, super peaceful setting, challenging layout. Love playing here.

Played 36 with GDR23 on 8-24-20 teeing off around 9:15 and finishing both rounds in a little over 6 hours. Tee boxes were in good shape with nice coverage and mostly level. Fairways for the most part were very lush with great lies, but there are a few areas that are a little thin and the front of hole 6 has a lot of small bare spots. Rough was in decent shape, it was not to long but it was thick making it a little more difficult to hit from. Was in two greenside bunkers on 1 and 4, both had a decent layer of heavy brown sand that I felt was very playable. Greens were in good shape, semi-soft and little on the slow side but rolling smooth. Highly recommend playing here.

Rode the blues for 36 wonderful holes today with my buddy RGM2525. Always fun playing with Ron. Weather was perfect all day starting out in the low 70's and finishing around 80 degrees with a nice 1-2 club breeze mid way through the first round. Our POP was just over 3 hours for each round waiting on a couple groups and getting waived through on a couple groups on the 2nd round. We pounded a few balls for a couple minutes on the all grass driving range, holed a few putts and we were off. Super nice staff at Purisma as always. Greens were very soft and very receptive and putted beautiful and smooth. Seen the greens quicker but they were in great shape. Rated 8/10. Very little to no ballmarks. Fairways were mostly lush and in great shape. Couple of the fairways closer to the green say 20 yds away had some burn spots. Overall very impressed with the fairways. Rated 8/10. Rough is very lush and as always rough in spots like it should be. Rated 7.5/10. Tees lush, fairly level and in good shape. 7.5/10 Bunkers contained beach like sand. Crusty on the top with most bunkers having plenty of sand underneath. Rated 7/10. Love the challenge here. Still my favorite course in the area. Would highly recommend.

Back to one of my very favorite courses. Always a treat to play here. Stacie in the pro shop is simply the best ! She is actually one of the reasons I enjoy coming here, She is so pleasant, friendly, and accommodating. I wish all pro shop staff could be as professional and easy to deal with.

Greens were the highlight of the course. Rolled well, receptive and just quick enough to keep your interest. I have to admit that there were many more "scruffy" areas than I am used to seeing here. Bunkers had sand, but without rakes, it was guess as to what kind of lie you'd draw. Rough was inconsistent, but playable.

It's just hard not to enjoy this course. If you strike the ball solidly, it is very doable, but if you're "off" the course quickly exposes you and the score soars. Just as it should be !

Played 7-6-20 as a single walking in a little under 3 hours for $38. Not much has changed from my last round here, tee boxes, fairways and rough are all about the same. Greens still in real good shape and real nice to putt on. They have cleaned up the bunkers pretty nicely, I was in one greenside that was still a little thin but still very playable. Great customer service as always.
