Played Poston Butte Golf Club at 9:52am on July 30th with a hot deal off GolfNow price of $30 w/cart. I've reviewed this course before and the service has stayed pretty consistent. Same guys outside near bag drop, cart girl was seen twice on a rather tame Friday tee sheet wise and the indoor staff were helpful as always. They told me I could go out early when I arrived at 9:30am and I did that passing up on the free range balls included in each round.

The conditions were in recovery mode I'd say. I've seen from GolfNow reviews that the course is experiencing some burn out around the course and I'd say that was accurate. The tee boxes were great and level with minimal divot damage on any par fours and fives with the par threes being about average. The fairways were pretty consistent all day; many of the landing spots were lush with adjacent areas having brown spots and browned out grass but I wouldn't stretch and say any hole's fairway was unplayable. The fairways were just a bit dry in spots and looked to be growing back in with the large amount of rain in recent weeks we've received. The rough was LONG and easily hid my golf ball a few times causing at least a two club yardage impact when found. I didn't lose any golf balls in the rough but I could easily see it being possible. The bunkers were all pretty decent, texture was good but majority of the day I found myself looking in them and seeing various pebbles and foreign debris in them. They could use some TLC and more raking as it seemed they'd been beaten by the storms. The greens were slow and in recovery conditions from a punching a week or two ago. You couldn't see the punch holes or sand anymore but the grass was definitely a little longer than usual.

This course is a regular for me because it's usually empty in the summer, free range balls and rather interesting course that tests all the clubs. Service is always top notch being a Troon managed course so I'd say it's worth the trip. If you find a hot deal before summer ends, come here with a buddy and expect a fun day. Maybe not the conditions I've mentioned in my previous reviews but still a fun course with above average conditions right now.
