Staying about an hour away used Golf Moose for two with wife driving clean cart for a couple dollars above single rate but included range so worth the extra to warm up. Well stocked pro shop open with mask use considered a personal choice, bar available as was restaurant with food brought out to waiting carts (was told that Siskiyou County has a very low Covid rate). Small elevated range had a dozen matt stalls on Thursday 8/27 while the grass area recovered. Smoke from fires restricted views of Mount Shasta but was high enough not to smell. This Robert Trent Jones Sr & Jr resort design was well laid out and the housing set back from play. Many must be year round residences with the huge wood piles stacked alongside the golf view homes. Entire course was very well maintained with lush wide fairways, flat tees, ample rough 1- 1 1/2" to keep most wayward shots on course vs lost to OB thick forest scrub and smooth fast 11.5-12 greens with hidden breaks. Lots of crushed volcanic red granular sand bunkers protecting greens that looked opposing but made easy out of two steep greensides. Heavy red sand which blended visually with the surroundings held up well from play without rakes and pins had pool noodle foam in them. Several lakes to maneuver around or over also a couple narrow tree lined fairways and dogleg corners had large pine trees or trap protection. Mainly flatter course with a few elevated tee boxes, some rolling fairways with lifted or tilting greens. Grass was well watered green but firm having a bit of rollout, divots filled (sand bottles on carts) and the greens were void of marks. Played through three twosome couples that were having a fun time hitting balls around finally catching a local five some on the 17th green. Pace was fine teeing off at 11:20 finishing at 2:40 with temperature in the mid 90's. Slim to no cell service throughout the entire area had to wait to post until home today.
