Played 10/4/24 11:40 $99. Pop 4:40. Course is in over all very good to great condition. Much greener than I expected. Fairways are full and I will say lush, but on the dry side. Ball sits really nicely and are great to hit off. Rough and little thick, but mostly under the ball. Made it a little difficult to compress the ball. Which really comes into play on the greens.

Played 10/4/24 11:40 $99. Pop 4:40. Course is in over all very good to great condition. Much greener than I expected. Fairways are full and I will say lush, but on the dry side. Ball sits really nicely and are great to hit off. Rough and little thick, but mostly under the ball. Made it a little difficult to compress the ball. Which really comes into play on the greens. They are in great shape. On the firm side so only well struck shots had any stopping power. It doesn't appear they had been aerated as noted above. I don't know if they had a FU tournament before us or if the pin setter was just mean, because the pins were in really difficult spots right above and on break over. These greens are the real thing and are difficult all by them selves. Course was busy on this hot Oct. day in the low 100's. Looking forward to some cooler autumn days because the course is playing very well. Easy recommend.

Played today in the heat, and it was a good time. The greens were punched recently (on Oct 1st?), so they were slow and bumpy. Overall, though, the rest of the course was in good shape, with good fairways, reasonable length rough and pretty well tended sand traps. One nice change from other courses in the area was there was a decent amount of sand in the traps, so it was possib... » More

Played today in the heat, and it was a good time. The greens were punched recently (on Oct 1st?), so they were slow and bumpy. Overall, though, the rest of the course was in good shape, with good fairways, reasonable length rough and pretty well tended sand traps. One nice change from other courses in the area was there was a decent amount of sand in the traps, so it was possible to play them like normal. There were a few areas where the water had collected and made for some muddy conditions, but overall it was very good. The practice facilities at the course are pretty good, with some kind of trackman-type thing on the driving range and a good sized practice putting/chipping area.

Played this morning. Customer service in shop was great. That about ends it. Late teeing off as no starter. First tee looks like a grocery line waiting to check out. A long line. Waited on every hole until the 4th and then a backup again on 8. No marshal was on the course. To many 5's walking and too many playing from the tips who should not be. For God's sake move up one or ev... » More

Played this morning. Customer service in shop was great. That about ends it. Late teeing off as no starter. First tee looks like a grocery line waiting to check out. A long line. Waited on every hole until the 4th and then a backup again on 8. No marshal was on the course. To many 5's walking and too many playing from the tips who should not be. For God's sake move up one or even 2 tee boxes there is nothing wrong with that. You don't have to play every hole up, just the ones you know you cannot reach anymore. Leave the ego in the parking lot. Between # 1 green and # 2 tee it is a mess from construction behind # 2 tee box. Course conditions are not good but not awful. Tee boxes were playable but shaggy. Fairways have coverage but they are not lush, but they are firm and do provide some roll out. Traps are playable but no one knows how to use a rake. Greens were the best part of the course. In good shape chipping/putting fine and holding shots. It's a golf course that gets a LOT of play and needs some order on the first tee and a marshal on the course. It's a nice layout and fun to play but not when its 5 or more hours (I quit after 13th hole). And I think they need to do away with 5's or make them ride. There is no reason that everytime one plays here POP sucks. Time and time again I see the same thing said by others about their round at this course. I am a Sr golfer and if I move around a golf course like some of these Sr's do my golfing days are over. I have more respect for the game of golf than to go out and embarass myself like some of these men/women do and ruin the day for others. That's my personal opinion OK don't take exception to it.

Played the front nine here last Tuesday, 10/01/24 with a small group of coworkers. Lush turf conditions from tee to green. Some areas were overly saturated, though. Nice definition between the fairways and the not-too-penal rough. Greens had a bunch of ball marks, some not repaired and some that were very poorly repaired. It is to be expected at this course as most of the golfe... » More

Played the front nine here last Tuesday, 10/01/24 with a small group of coworkers. Lush turf conditions from tee to green. Some areas were overly saturated, though. Nice definition between the fairways and the not-too-penal rough. Greens had a bunch of ball marks, some not repaired and some that were very poorly repaired. It is to be expected at this course as most of the golfers here are only out for a little practice round and have little knowledge of etiquette or respect for the course. It wasn't too terrible, and the greens ran at a nice medium/slow speed with occasional bumpiness. Perfect for the beginning golfer. The sand traps do need some TLC, like fresh sand, edging, and raking. Plenty of geese near the lakes and their droppings can be an issue at times. Overall, for $19 to walk/ $31 to ride late in the day, it's not bad. We did have the course to ourselves as it was a hot day. Beautiful long shadows and cooler temps as the sun was setting. The snack shop closes early, so you may need to bring your own if you go out late in the day. No biggie as the food is crappy here.

It seems you never know what conditions you will get at Coto these days. It varies drastically from week to week. My review last week mentioned slow greens and near perfect fairways. However today, it was the reverse. They discovered that the greens mowers needed the blades sharpened and whalla, green speeds went from 8 to 11 overnight. However, they must have done the same th... » More

It seems you never know what conditions you will get at Coto these days. It varies drastically from week to week. My review last week mentioned slow greens and near perfect fairways. However today, it was the reverse. They discovered that the greens mowers needed the blades sharpened and whalla, green speeds went from 8 to 11 overnight. However, they must have done the same thing to the fairway mowers and by going at the same mower speed and lowering the cutting height they scraped most of the grass too low. Back to winter rules with a vengeance. Tees have four varieties of grass on them, pretty thin. Not sure what members did to deserve these conditions. Course shutting down on 10/14 for two weeks of maintenance. New ownership is still MIA, it's been about 4 months of silence. Played before 9AM and POP was less than 4 hours, a full 30-60 min faster than after 9AM.
