Played here today with a 1:20 tee time. $53 to ride. Paired with a walking single and a riding twosome. Started right on time and pace was great early, then really slowed down around the fifth hole. I'm not sure if some groups quit later on or what, but it picked back up the last 4 or 5 holes. Total POP just a bit over four and a half hours. Sun broke through a couple times but mostly cloudy, cool, semi-windy day. Conditions are pretty great. Greens are smooth, medium-fast, and medium firmness, accepting full shots well. Fairways are excellent except for areas clearly marked as GUR. They provided great lies. The rough is in a little lesser condition but overall pretty lush, although you might find some bare spots here and there. Blue tees were good except a handful of holes that were sanded pretty extensively. The sand was only in certain spots (not the entire tee box), so I'm not sure why they wouldn't just move the markers on those holes for a few days. I was in one bunker and it was really nice; a couple inches of loose sand on top of a firmer base underneath. I'd been missing this place with no GK Plays in June this year, and then when I recently played Corica Park up north it felt very much like a poor man's Olivas to me, so I was happy to get out there. Also, I hadn't played here since the rainy season that made some of the hazards into actual lakes once again. As Gary mentioned in his previous review, there are still lots of wildflowers bordering the course and it's really pretty, even though today's cloudy skies didn't really allow the course to come to life, visually. Always love this place, though. Definitely recommended.
