Played on 8/6/17 with abbacat and a couple of my friends, Dennis and Eric. Took us right at 4 hours to get around, delayed a bit by an incredibly slow twosome ahead of us. I think at #5 there were 3 groups on the tee box because of the twosome. Once they quit at #10ish, it was a smooth pace. Normal hot summer temps with a little breeze on the day. We played from the green tees which were about 6200 yards. The next up is bronze at 66-6700ish. One of the guys wasn't thrilled with that length. Tee boxes were nice with good coverage, level and easy to find a decent spot to tee it up. Par 3's had some minor damage. Fairways were in good shape. There were some areas where they had browned out. The lies were generally good. Some areas were very tight. Never had a bad lie in the fairways. The rough as usual ranged from non existent to nasty. There are a lot more areas where the rough is bare than the outing a month or so ago. The sand was good in most bunkers, a little packed in most, still good. There was enough in some that I got a buried lie in the side of one bunker. I wasn't in as many bunkers as some of the playing partners... :) Any mishits were user error on my bunker shots. All others were not hard to play from. The greens were very nice. They were accepting of a good shot, with minimal rollout. They rolled medium-slow and again plenty of meow-mixed putts in the group. Not many unfixed ball marks which was nice. My biggest issue is the flags have no designation for pin position. Makes gauging distance pretty tough from the fairways if it wasn't obvious. Playing three times in the last 2 months helps figure things out. Staff is good and helpful. It would be nice if you could take the cart to your car on the hot days to unload gear. The cart guys did offer to carry bags to the car if requested. I really like this course. If you get dumb, a big score is there to smack you around. We'll probably play again a couple times during the summer.
