Played Saturday morning. Greens are firm and fast. Well struck shot can hold the green but you must control your spin since severe undulations coupled with raised greens can result in ball rolling 40 feet off green and down hills where knarly bermuda rough awaits. Fairways remain the biggest challenge as pas pallum bermuda grass has failed to grow in leaving hard, sand packed surfaces to hit from. Like one long sand covered runway. Bunkers are getting refilled with new white sand, but it's hit or miss with the traps with old sand. Tee boxes are in good shape because they were overseeded. Choose your poison here: great greens with bad fairways are much better than bad greens with great fairways. We've had them both within the past six months (along with bad greens and bad fairways) just never great green and great fairways. Could be the reason why legacy members are leaving in droves. Very difficult to obtain tee times as online system may have been compromised. Too many members here with too many membership categories. Too embarrassed to bring guests out to play in these conditions. New billionaire owners not going to pump any money into course except for basic maintenance costs. Very disappointing conditions compared to rest of private clubs in OC.
