Played today POP at 4 H. A little more crowded with the later sunrise. Not much to report that was not said about last week, though the course is greener and the greens were very nice. New restaurant is now open and it is very nice. Customer service excellent at all levels. They say they will aerate next week?

Played this morning, as the 3rd group off with the sunrise. POP was 3H. So no glow balls or playing in the dark. Course was very wet from overnight watering and the dew. Add to that, we had strong overcast, some wind and all those factors made the course play very long. Tee boxes were all fine. Fairways "were a mixed bag - some areas nice, some areas awful" to quote Weber. Bunkers were playable, but some still had wet sand. Greens were good and playable and no issues were faced by anyone. Excellent customer service at all levels. We also celebrated our friend Jim's birthday, who turned 97 and is still playing (many of you may know him) and hope to celebrate his brothers 104 birthday in Feb (he had to stop playing at 102).

First off at 6:15am Monday. Still dark, but when you take that first time, you have to be prepared to hit it in the dark ! However by #2, we could see well enough, so well worth it to get out first.

Greens were excellent. Faster than they appeared, rolled true and held shots very well. Fairways were a mixed bag - some areas nice, some areas awful. Rough was equally inconsistent. Found two bunkers and both were fine.

I hate making the drive to LV from Coto, but once I'm there, I'm always glad I did it ! To play this wonderful golf course for $16.50, play in 3 hours and 5 minutes, with greens as nice as they were today, enjoy the spectacular views, I mean how much better does it get?

I believe they will be punching greens here on October 8th. So I recommend you get out and enjoy the greens before then.

Played today in 3 H. Got off early as the sun was coming up, so it was a little wet to begin with.Tee boxes were all clean and no issues. Fairways provided good lies, but little roll (until later in the round) to start with. Bunkers were all clean and heard no complaints. Greens were damp to begin with (so little bounce) but chipped/putted just fine (but many divots needed fixing, due to lazy golfers). As the round progressed the greens got faster. They have opened up the new men's bathroom (good news). Hopefully the restaurant will come shortly? Customer service excellent at a levels.

Played today in a POP of 3.5 H. Very quite, due to heavy fog and mist. Course is nice and green, with the cooler weather and fog. Found the fairways to have good lies, but very little roll. Bunkers were damp from fog, but playable. Tee boxes were all fine. Greens (while wet most of the round) looked fine and putted well, but slow. Customer service was fine at all levels.

Went back out today, after 2 weeks away, after reading last review (6.3 vs 3.1 mine) and comments from playing partners, who had played previously, when I did not. I will address the greens first. Found them to be clean/mowed, devoid of fungus and visually very nice. But they were soft and putted slowly (that comment was not just mine), in part due to overnight dew/watering and became faster towards the end of the round (I like the fast greens of L V and hope that I see them soon?) Tee boxes were all in great shape this week. Fairways today were green and provided good lies all round, but they did not provide roll, due to wetness and were beginning to dry out by the time we reached 17/18 ( I love hard fairways better than soft ones? Just my preference). No issues with sand traps on the part of anyone. Very little rough, but what was there, was playable and effected ones shot (like rough will do - so stay out of it if possible). I personally wish they would provide another location for the temporary restaurant. At present, it causes a lot of unnecessary congestion IMO. They also, should bring back the portable toilet trailer which they had in the parking lot, as there is only 1 bathroom (for men) available and it is not large enough for the many patrons. As many of you know, I have written many reviews. Today was the first time, I have been spoken to about a review, from a member of staff. Suffice to say, I totally understand and accept his input, about what I wrote, 2 weeks ago (which he felt was too critical). What I have learned from this interaction, is that sometimes we don't really know the many reasons, as to why conditions on the course that day are like that? Perhaps the Pro Shop can inform us of some unexpected maintenance, should that be happening that day? But, I will also (in the future) take the time, to ask some questions before I leave the course that day, to determine the reasons for unfavorable conditions, so that I can write a fairer review.

Played Sunday in the Men's Club tourney. Early tee time but the public groups before the tournament were slow. 4.5 hours POP was too slow for that early.

The course was in decent shape. No sand or other evidence of any work on the greens. There were some discoloration/swirls around the edges like maybe they were going to get fungus but the greens are uniform in lushness. They were relatively slow though. Medium at best, easily the slowest I have seen them in a while.

The fairways were fine, the rough hit or miss as usual, and the bunkers had relatively new sand that was nice to play from. The tee boxes were merely okay, with number 12 being not okay. It was really chewed up. Otherwise the kikuyu was pretty thick on the tees.

It was more humid than usual, but a nice day to be walking on the hill overlooking the ocean.

Played today in POP of 3.5 H. The course, IMO is in the worst shape I have ever seen it. It is very apparent that the recent heat wave in P V took its toll? Greens were sanded yesterday (and being watered today) and they are in terrible shape. Evidence of previous fungus is on every green (they putted lousy). Fairways are a mix bag, with many brown areas and were for the most part, very wet and very few good lies. For the first time, I witnessed tee boxes that were in bad shape. No comments on the bunkers, as I was not in any, nor did I hear anyone complain. The restaurant, which I believe began a remodel almost 3 months ago, is still unfinished. They now have an area for food outside of the pro shop (not where I would want to eat). The bathrooms in the locker room are still closed. One bathroom available inside the banquet area. Customer service was adequate, not excellent like normally. This is a course I have played on a continual basis for the last ten years. But it will be sometime until I read a good/better/best review, before I go back.

I took a friend out here to play on 7/19/2018 since it was last minute and I saw tee times open in the afternoon. I booked the 2:30 time for two players and joined two more guys on the first tee right on time. That was about it though, over three hours later we finished 9 and played a couple more before packing it in. Too bad really, the course was in real nice shape especially the greens. The rough as stated by many is a real mixed bag of crappy grass but that is mostly overshadowed by the awesome views and let's be real....hitting fairways should be rewarded and missing should be a challenge. Recommended yes but get out early
