GK guru round with MrKich, kviser and rgm2525. Also kviser and I played a GK Cup 17 match. See results in the forum post. Great time.

Beautiful weather on a late Thursday afternoon. We rode the Blue Tees. About 6400 yards Par 71 from the Blue Tees. Plays all of it. Many tees are elevated and you don't get much release/roll out with your driver from the kikuyu fairways. Very fun green complexes well guarded by bunkers, slopes and hazards. Many of the greens are amoeba shaped greens with lots a places to tuck pins. Hole #8 pin placement, par 3, up front, I thought to myself I've never seen the pin that up front before ... now I know why! - LOL. We played in just over 4 hours teeing it up around 2:30pm

Overall condition of the golf course is very good shape. Greens the highlight. Medium/Fast, mostly smooth and holding shots. Fairways all have full coverage from a variety of turf types and play well. There is some all season turf overseeding taking place on Holes 5 and 7 with those areas designated as GUR. The fairways are predominately kikuyu/bermunda turf. The rough is spotty lush/thin/bare on 1/2 holes as far coverage adjacent to the fairways but around the greens its lush and challenge to pitch from. Turf is predominately kikuyu. Tee boxes are lush kikuyu/bermunda, level, a little long and in great shape. Regarding the bunkers, good shape. Quality sand and cared for. Not the golf course's fault but golfers need to do a better job raking them after playing them.

Sterling Hills GC is always a good option to play, especially if you are trying to escape the heat of the SFV.
