Thursday 8:10 start 54 degrees warmed up to 73 at 10:50 finish. Skipped around a couple holes to pass member groups then easy return to complete full 18. Tight cut fairways appeared dormant and dry still areas without coverage. I just play to land in grassy locations and hit approach shots from them instead of bounding through barren areas.

Thursday 8:10 start 54 degrees warmed up to 73 at 10:50 finish. Skipped around a couple holes to pass member groups then easy return to complete full 18. Tight cut fairways appeared dormant and dry still areas without coverage. I just play to land in grassy locations and hit approach shots from them instead of bounding through barren areas. Makes for some interesting shots. Found white tee boxes okay as was #13 greenside bunker. Greens medium speed and from previous review a few seem to be shrinking. Backhoe reworking drainages and one fairway had been aerated. Always a friendly atmosphere and a fun play when disregarding imperfect conditions which should be rated mid fours not threes.

Picture perfect golfing weather with Rat-Patrol this morning. It was nice not to have the humps and bumps of afternoon Poa that I usually get when I come out for twilight. Greens excellent running 10-10.5. Fairways great although I found few of them today. Rough, thick and juicy but lies were typically very manageable unless the ball settled (Then... good luck).

Picture perfect golfing weather with Rat-Patrol this morning. It was nice not to have the humps and bumps of afternoon Poa that I usually get when I come out for twilight. Greens excellent running 10-10.5. Fairways great although I found few of them today. Rough, thick and juicy but lies were typically very manageable unless the ball settled (Then... good luck). Bunkers are fluffy. Anything coming from a decent height and steep angle is likely to not escape its crater. POP just under 4.5. Great conditions right now.

Played 2/20 with a 10:00am tee time. Proshop and starter very pleasant, paired up with a couple of Orange County deputies!
Interesting course with a lot of elevation changes on the front nine, more flat on mostly dormant which meant a lot of roll, sometimes into trouble! The tees were mainly flat with some bare patches and the traps were a mix of hard and very hard. The gre... » More

Played 2/20 with a 10:00am tee time. Proshop and starter very pleasant, paired up with a couple of Orange County deputies!
Interesting course with a lot of elevation changes on the front nine, more flat on mostly dormant which meant a lot of roll, sometimes into trouble! The tees were mainly flat with some bare patches and the traps were a mix of hard and very hard. The greens were in generally good shape and ran quite fast.
As a new player on this course if we hadn’t been paired with folks with previous knowledge we might be still out there on hole 2, CPO and the GPS was not very helpful.
Took 5 hours to play, saw a marshal once who said it was busy...no kidding.
Overall a good experience despite the 5 hours!
