I had a chance to get out for a late afternoon round, so I booked a 4:00 tee time here for just $10. I arrived a little early. There were more people out than I expected on a really hot afternoon, but it was mainly singles, twosomes and threesomes heading out. I joined up with another single and teed off around 3:40. We played through a couple groups on the front nine before catching up to others on the back nine, ultimately finishing in under 3 hours.

The course was in decent condition. The tee boxes were generally fine. The fairways were pretty good. Some thin and firm sections here and there, but I mostly had nice lies to hit from. Rough a bit less consistent, but decent overall. Greens were firm-ish, yet receptive and rolling pretty well at medium speeds. The only real complaint was the bunkers. They were atrocious. Just hardpan and pretty neglected.

At first, I thought this was going to be a very bland course and I was reminded of Woodley Lakes early on, but the layout got more interesting and challenging. It's flat and pretty forgiving in most places, but there is water in play on all but a few holes and there are some very demanding shots at times. Solid overall and a bit more interesting than I expected it to be. It was well worth $10, so it was a good overall experience today.
