I teed it up today with dcricket using their Black Friday deal of $90 for 2 players. As always, customer service was friendly from start to finish. When we checked in, they told us that we would be starting on #10. There was some construction work on #7 with the water feature being drained and that there would be a temporary green (which there wasn’t.) He didn’t mention that holes 10 & 11 were CPO, but it was ok.

We spent a few minutes on the large putting green and the chipping/bunker area. The sand was amazing- deep, clean, soft and well groomed. It was the same all around the course as well. Tee boxes were in exceptional shape. All were level and lush. The greens and collars were very good. They were soft but with surprisingly few ball marks. The greens on the back nine were very smooth, but those on the front were much bumpier. All rolled medium-fast and were fun and challenging with many large undulations.

The low point, unfortunately, was the fairways. They were in nowhere near the condition I’ve seen before at this course. They were thin with lots of areas marked GUR, and many more that should have been. There were so many clumps of sprouting grass (weeds?) that, although they didn’t really interfere with play too much, it was just really ugly. On a few holes, there were large areas that looked like the turf had been pawed up by some large animals.

All in all, it was a really nice day on a very fun course. My highlight was hitting the #8 green in 2. I’ve never done that before and it was very exciting (of course, I then 3 putted… go figure). We later enjoyed lunch in the clubhouse. I will definitely be back again when the fairways look better. Recommended.
