Played the Babe in the SCNGA tournament on 9/30. Early 7:00 am tee time and it was a bit cool and was looking forward to playing. Many of the holes are tight and long. Keeping it in the center is always good but having to hit a long iron or hybrid into the green on some of the holes is always a challenge. The course is not it very good shape. Some of the fairways are something like I have never seen here before. A lot of bad lies, thin grass and some weeds. Really surprised to see it this way. In addition, the fairways were very wet resulting in cart path only on some holes. Tee boxes were punched so really under repair. The rough was thick and was difficult to hit out of being damp. Bunkers were damp also but still in pretty good shape. The greens were great but were also damp. Holding all shots but they rolled great. Not real fast but true. I walked away a little disappointed about the conditions because I have never seen imperfections here but I feel conditions will improve. Still, not so good conditions here are better than good conditions elsewhere so I am fully expecting course conditions to return the way I always knew it.
