Aeration & Overseeding

I was staying in Reno with a good friend and we decided it was too nice of a day to sit inside. Got a starting time at Sierra Sage for 11:20 AM. The starter got us off early.

The pro shop staff could not have been nicer or more knowledgeable. Gave us an extra token for range balls. And a very detailed course guide book. Came in handy as there were no GPS screens on the carts.
Played with another twosome, a father and son combo... Dad struggled a bit, but a couple of nicer guys you couldn't find!

The course is fairly flat and not a lot of trees. As a matter of fact, I might say it is wide open. There's some trouble here in there but you can generally find the fairway. The rough was not too long nor punishing. The fairways were in excellent shape. People were filling their divots and the turf grass was in great condition.

Compared to the greens I play regularly in Northern California, these were lightning fast. Like crazy fast. Nothing rolled off the green uncontrollably, but you really had to watch a downhill putt.

I only found one sand trap all day, but I got out cleanly because they were in super nice shape. Fluffy sand, not too wet.

I didn't eat anything at the clubhouse bar-and-grill, but my partner said that the hot dog was one of the best. Lots of choices like sauerkraut, jalapeno relish and spicy mustard.

If you are in Reno, try this course. It gets the Cheeseburger seal of approval! $45.00, senior rate, including cart.

Played Yucaipa yesterday and course was in great condition, best I have seen in for some time.

Walked the Blues (6083/69.9/119) in roughly 4H twilight. Sunny, fairly calm and around 70 made for a very pleasant afternoon. $30 to walk with the SLO Co. card is a good rate for this course.

Kikuyu tees mostly level and well maintained with decent coverage.

Mostly Kikuyu rough maintained low with mostly good coverage. Beside and behind the greens the rough is lusher/taller. DO NOT short side yourself here! Many hard pan areas farther off the fairways.

Few sand traps on this course, but those observed were well maintained with good quality sand.

Smallish, old school poa greens were mostly firm but held approach shots very well. Putted medium speed and were relatively smooth even late afternoon. Most slope back to front and fall off to at least one side. No tiers on these greens, but down hillers are to be avoided on these greens.

Customer service excellent, friendly Marshall and Starter. Small driving range and a busy restaurant onsite. Never any on course services here. Fun course, Recommended.
