Played the Blacks (6578/72.4/134) with Brian from Canada in 4.5H. We were sandwiched in between multiple 4somes on each side in temps approaching 90. The over seeded Rye tees were lush, only the par 3's had a decent amount of divot damage. The over seeded Rye fairways were lush and nice to play from. The over seeded Rye first cut of rough around the fairways and greens was very lush. The primary rough is dormant Bermuda, good coverage and was generally not too tall/penal. Numerous areas of native rough was unplayable, calf deep where the ball just disappeared, almost a sure lost ball. The abundant sand traps were nicely maintained with good quality sand. Almost every green complex is raised, some severely raised. The greens were smooth, firm and quick to putt on. Downhill putts were treacherous. The customer service was top notch from everyone encountered. Drink cart out making the rounds and complementary water is provided with your cart. Practice facilities here are good, the grass range is included in your fee. Pete Dye design with mounds, waste bunkers, grass bunkers and visually intimidating sight lines on almost every hole. Many holes with forced carries and even though the lay of the land is basically flat, you almost never have a level lie after your tee shot because of all the mounds/moguls. Recommended.
