First round of another marathon day today. Had a 6:39 tee time ($48 summer rack) and they sent me off first right on time. This course does get a lot of back nine play. I had to play through a couple groups, but thankfully not too bad after I made the turn. Another super quick round for this trip!

The course was in good overall condition for late summer. Again, looking a bit better from afar than close up. Tee boxes fine. Fairways soft and on the fluffy side (not all had been mowed by the time I fought my way through maintenance). Lots of rain last night, so everything playing very soft this morning. Some bare spots here and there. Rough pretty lush throughout with some inconsistencies. I wasn't in a bunker, but they looked decent. Greens were soft and rolling well at medium speeds. A few greens had some scattered dead/diseased spots, but only a problem on a couple of the holes.

Very enjoyable course with some excellent scenery, especially throughout the front nine. First half of back nine isn't as interesting visually, but then the course finishes strong with the last few holes. Some good changes in elevation and a fairly fun layout overall. Definitely one worth checking out.
