Can't remember when I was able to play 3times in one week! Played Dos Osos this morning, Sunday, 7:20am tee time. Customer service as always is great here. No frills proshop but the guys working the counter this morning were awesome, very friendly. Tried to get us to buy the JC card, but it's difficult for me to justify as most of the courses are an hour+ to the north of me. It is a good value, though. We were charged $79 to ride. I'd say it's still a little overpriced for the conditions but work continues to get done and they're trying very hard to bring this course back to its luster.

White tees were fairly level, but coverage was not good. Lots of dirt and different mixes of grass/weeds/clover. Not a huge deal breaker, but just made you take some extra time to look for a good stance.

Fairways are showing some signs of life in most proper landing areas, but tons of horrible areas, as well. We played the ball down, but I highly recommend lift clean and place in the fairways right now.

Rough was a similar situation as the fairways. Showing some signs of promise, but I'd say over half the rough is dirt/weeds/clover. Mixed bag of what kind of lie you might get. It could be anywere from a perfect lie to absolutely deplorable.

I didn't find any bunkers, but they looked ok. A few of them looked wet and had some standing water from sprinklers, but most of the sand looked fluffy and fairly new.

Greens are still healing from aeration a couple weeks ago. Very bumpy and shaggy on the front. Super slow!!! Pretty frustrating on the front nine for sure. But they got better as you played through the back nine. 16, 17 and 18 greens were actually pretty good, on the verge of being very good. This will be a true test if all the work on the course will pay off. These greens should all be in great shape in another 3-4 weeks. I will be anxious to get back out there next month to see.

POP right at 4hrs. Marshall doing a great job keeping pace going.

I've always loved this course, played Eagle Crest before any homes were even built. It's just a super fun layout. No parallel fairways, elevation changes, water features, etc. It's got great bones, now let's see if JC Resorts can bring it back. Easy recommend.
