Played in a shotgun scramble sunday 9/25, 8am tee off, 5:30 round. Course in fabulous shape. Greens running fast and true, I'd say a fast 10, slow 11. Entire course looks and plays great. Bunkers looked excellent. For all of the heat this summer, it's come out of it splendidly. Slow due to tournament. Had a great day.

Played wed 9/7. 7:15 walk on, joined a 3 some. 4:15 round. Greens running a slow 10. Pleasant round. Hot day... probably 80 degrees at tee time. 100 when we finished at 11:30. 113 was the day's high. It's like Palm Springs in July. Geez. Course in good summer shape. A combo of thin spots struggling and wet spots from watering. But overall in good playable shape. The tee boxes are the weakest part of the course. Greens soft... a little bumpy if you don't fix the marks. Always enjoy this course.

Played Sun 8/7, 8:30 shotgun. 80+ degrees, mild wind. Beautiful day. Course is immaculate. Greens are pure, running at 12. Very well manicured. Right on the lake. It's a fun course. I wouldn't pay rack rate here.. not when incline village is cheaper and close by. But it really is a nice course with fun holes... lots of geese though. And geese poop. That was a downer. For an elite course, you'd think they'd be more proactive about decreasing their presence. Heck, my home course does a great job of chasing and cleaning. But geese aside, I'd love any opportunity to play here, if the price was right. (rack rate is not right imo)

Played Sat 8/6, 8:30 shotgun. Warm, pleasant day. 80s temp. a 1/2 to 1 club wind. Course in great shape. Greens grainy... run like a 13 downgrain, 10 into the grain. My second time here, and it's as great as I remember it. Played it from the blues this time, 6640 yds, which is more like 6000 in the altitude (10-15%)It's a fantastic track, great routing, interesting holes, and beautiful. My favorite public course in the Tahoe area.

Played Mon 6/27, 9am tee time, the last of the Seattle tour. This is a fun low key course. Wide fairways and fescue lining many of the holes. Rolling dunes, some trees... Quite a few blind drives, but fair... I spent a bit of time driving up to see the landing area, after I almost hit a perfect drive into the blind canyon on #2. Long hard par 3s. Greens rolling smooth, fast 10, slow 11. Course in great shape... I would play here all of the time.

Played Sunday 6/26, 9 am time. A Sierra style course, lots of trees and hills. This would fit right in the Tahoe area. A really fun course that had lots of interesting holes. The starter told us to stay on the right side of pretty much every hole, and he was right. Greens in great shape, running about a fast 10, slow 11. They play a lot of NCAA events here, and it's a stern test worthy of that competition. 18 is a driveable 280 yd, downhill, with the wind behind our back... over water on the right, bail on the Left... of course I went for it and missed, then hit a second into the front bunker. That was fun. If I lived here, I would make this a go to golf course.

Played Sat 6/25, 9am tee time. The center piece of the Seattle golf trip. And what a course it is. It's a wierd setup, as you have to shuttle down from the clubhouse to the 1st tee. The course is right on the Sound. If you look towards the course, it's a big Old Mac vibe, and then when you look out of the water, you get a big Edgewood Lake Tahoe vibe. The course itself is more like Old Mac, no trees. Rolling wide fairways. Lots of bunkers. Caddy was great. He said the course was struggling for a few years and they got it back to good shape recently. I tend to agree. Greens smooth and true, rolling about a fast 10, slow 11. I would play here anytime. Some people say it's better than Whistling, I disagree, and compare it to Old Mac... Nonetheless, a great course and a great time.

Played Fri 6/24, 5 hr round. Visually stunning course overlooking the city. However, we walked off the course pretty beat up. Greens in good shape, a slow 10. Course overall in really good shape. We found too many of the holes a bit gimmicky. Lots of elevation changes,seemed like more uphill than down. I went straight from the airport and arrived 4 hrs before the tee time, and they were very accomodating. Nice locker room. Restaurant didn't open until 11:30 though. Always have a good time, but I'm not itching to come back.

Played Sun 619, Father's Day, 8:50 tee time, 5 hr round. Pleasant day with a one club wind most of the day. This course is NARROW. Tree lined holes, and it felt like at least 12 of the 14 par4/5 demanded extreme accuracy off the tee. This seems to be a popular course, with a lot of beginners... but this is not a course I would bring a beginner to. The rating/slope from the white is 69/120, but the narrowness, and the greens, along with the water features, seems to make it play harder than that. Greens were excellent: true, smooth, a quick 10/slow 11, but sloped enough to give people trouble. Some real narrow greens, some really big greens... this is not an easy course that the rating suggests. Front 9 was 3 hrs, back 9 2 hrs. If this was my local course, I'd play here and like it.

Played in a shotgun tourney Sat 8am, 5 hr round... HOT day. course in great shape. Greens are decent muni shape, running a fast 9, so slow. But ran pretty true. The rest of the course very playable. We'll see how it holds up in the summer heat, but for now, the course is in as good a shape as I've seen it.

Played Sunday 6/5, 8 am shotgun, 4:45 round. This is my favorite SoCal course (though TP south might have taken that spot). They are doing maintenance, so the ratings are not super accurate. Overall it's in really good shape. I know they punch 2 greens at a time, and then they split a hole or 2 to make 18 holes on 2 temp greens. We caught the perfect timing where all 18 holes were open. 2 of the greens 4 and 5 I think... were recently punched and were sandy/bumpy. The rest of the greens were in various stages of healing or not touched.. and it was pretty consistent. Running a quick 10 on the stimp. Rolled true. Then they are taking out and redoing ALL of their rough... so 2 holes were cart path only. And they ask you not to hit off anything visibily resodded. A few of the fairways had spots of resod as well. But I was pleased to see the course was not soggy/wet like it had been the last 2 times I played (a while ago)... And overall, the maintenance did not destroy the experience. Though that might not be the case when playing with temps. Had a great time and I still love this course.

Played Sat 6/4, 7:30 shotgun. 5:15 round. First time playing here after a few times on the north... and I now understand the allure of Torrey Pines. It's a fantastic layout, that goes around 2 big inlet canyons that frame the course...and it's visually stunning. Most of the holes are pretty fantastic... a few snoozers, and 18 is certainly a letdown compared to the rest of the course. It is way longer than the North, from the greens, and unlike the previous poster that played the same morning, I'm saying there was a 1-2 club wind by 9am. the 450 yd par 4 12th, dead into the wind, uphill... brutal. Greens were smooth and fast, running a solid 11. Bunkers were very nice and consistent. I'm glad I finally knocked this off my list.
