Played today and after 1 week very little improvement is apparent in course conditions. Fairways are not mowed and very wet conditions on many of them prevail. They are not even drying out in many areas. The middle of # 18 is a muddy mess. Nice new sand in almost all the traps now. Very playable. But no one still rakes the traps. Unbelievable. Greens need mowing and rolling. They are the slowest I have ever seen them. Tee boxes are also in need of mowing and at least you can get a tee in the ground. For a course that is under the control of Troon I really don't understand why conditions are so lacking in improvement after all the aertion they did last month. Pace of play is pathetic unless you are one of the first 3 to 4 groups out in the AM.

From last week to this week not a lot of changes in the course.

Greens have dried out but still seem soft and very slow at present.

From last week to this week not a lot of changes in the course.

Greens have dried out but still seem soft and very slow at present.

Tee boxes IMO did not come out of aeration very well. And they are all very wet. So from one source I heard that they are watering the place too much?

Fairways need cutting badly but they also are very wet and provide no roll and not very good lies.

But the new white sand in the bunkers (and they are not done with all of them) is fantastic. 110% improvement over the way they were before.

Always great customer service from Madison and Christian in the shop. And Rich who runs the cart portion of the course is just terrific.

Hopefully sunny weather, warm days will allow the maintenance crew to get a handle on things and bring the course around to better playing conditions.

Played this AM. All tee boxes now open. Greens healed. Nice white sand in front 9 bunkers. Still some back 9 holes not done yet. Other than damp fairways that need mowing the place looks good. Excelle... Continue »

Played this AM. All tee boxes now open. Greens healed. Nice white sand in front 9 bunkers. Still some back 9 holes not done yet. Other than damp fairways that need mowing the place looks good. Excellent customer service from Mateo and Christian in the shop. With some mowing and dry temps course should dry out and firm up over the coming weeks.

Went to play today. Lasted 3 holes. I knew the greens had been aerated but I was not expecting what else I found.

Went to play today. Lasted 3 holes. I knew the greens had been aerated but I was not expecting what else I found.

1. Fairways have not been mowed and look and play awful. And there was no mowing being done today.

2. Sand traps are being worked and they have numerous temporary greens and no information on how long this will last. And its not minor work but a total overhaul of each trap.

3. On Oct 6 ALL tee boxes will be aerated and tees moved up 30 to 40 yards. And they are stating that the tees will not open for one month.

4. They are charging normal green fees during all this work as well. No discounts.

Combine bad fairways, trap overhaul, sanded greens, and closing of tees for 1 month for aeration. That in my mind does not make for an enjoyable round of golf.

Personally I don't think its worth the $$ to play here for the present.

Played two rounds here over the weekend and to echo previous reviews, conditions here are suboptimal. Hitting from the fairway is like hitting out of the first cut if you're lucky, and thick rough if ... Continue »

Played two rounds here over the weekend and to echo previous reviews, conditions here are suboptimal. Hitting from the fairway is like hitting out of the first cut if you're lucky, and thick rough if you're not. Easy to lose a ball in these conditions with the fairways overgrown and overwatered with absolutely no roll out.

The rough is extremely overgrown as well, which is actually kind of cool and presents a good challenge for such a short course. Wouldn't mind it staying this juicy to be honest, but it does make finding your ball hard. Pace of play both days was around 5 hours which is brutal for such a short course.

Thankfully the greens are being aerated today and tomorrow (9/22-23) so hopefully they'll be good again in a few weeks, because they were in pretty poor shape. Tons of unfixed pitch marks along with crabgrass growing in made for a very bumpy putting surface.

I wasn't in any bunkers so can't speak on them, but I did hear that they're going to be renovating a number of bunkers soon by adding in new liners/drainage as well as fresh sand, so that's something to look forward to.

For now give I'm going to take Alhambra out of the rotation for at least a few weeks while they work to get conditions back to their normal levels

Played today. Sad to say course is getting worse than better. Totally over watered and carts are danaging the turf. Greens potmarked with divots and poorly repaired divots. Many areas of grass needs mowing and you will loose balls if you land there. At this point its not worth the $$ to play here in IMO. And play is atrociously slow due to these conditions. Only hope is cooler weather comes soon.

Played today. Not much change from last week. Course still being watered heavily against the heat. So lush fairways that need cutting so no roll and heavy lies. Tee boxes were cut so no issues. Traps playable but damp in early AM. Rough damp and high and needs cutting. Greens soft and showing wear and tear and divot damage due to softness. They all putted slow all round. But great customer service from Christian and Mateo in the shop.

Played yesterday. Course is heavy from watering to beat heat damage. Fairways no roll out. Greens sott spongy and divot marked. Great customer service as always. But slow play due to conditions. Not i... Continue »

Played yesterday AM. Course is in nice shape all around but very wet in many areas due to recent heat wave. I found all tee boxes to be playable. As well as the traps at that time of the morning. Fairways are playable but little roll out due to watering. Especially in front of the greens. If they are not careful they will have more cart track damage like in front of # 11 due to watering (huge). The greens are slow also due to watering so that they do not get burned out like what happened last year. POP was right on 3 H so that was good for a Tues morning. As always great customer service at all levels from Christian, Madison, Rich (carts) and Phil and Oscar (grounds crew).
