Rode the Greens (6537/71.1/135) with Gary00 and his son-in-law Grant. Great to see and be able to play with Gary again. POP was 4H, 10M, which is misleading. Marshall came out and told us we needed to speed up on the front because the group behind us complained. Front took 2H, 20M. What they did not know was that we were waiting on almost every tee because of the Super Sr. 4some in front of us that were struggling with the CPO status after overseeding. We jumped that group @ the turn and finished the back in 1H, 50M. 30M quicker on the tougher of the 2 nines? Hope the group who complained about slow play enjoyed their back 9 directly behind that 4some? Tees, Fairways and rough all mostly lush and close to immaculate. Just a little thin in a few places until the overseeding fully takes. They are just beginning to mow the overseeded areas, so much less roll than normal and the course plays very long with moist fairways maintained higher than normal. Sand here is plentiful, thick and deep around the greens. Hardpacked on the fairway traps. Almost always maintained well daily by the staff. Large Bermuda greens are firm and smooth. Beginning to roll quick again. Fun to play Fazio layout that constantly goes up/down rolling hills. Because this course is so spread out, you rarely see walkers here. Nice restaurant on site with reasonable golf course prices and a good selection. Excellent all grass practice area which includes range balls and multiple chipping/putting greens. Carts have all the GPS features one would expect. Customer service always good at this facility. Usually no drink cart on weekdays, snack shop @ the turn is available. Recommended.

Rode the Greens (6537/71.1/135) multiple afternoons this week twilight. Course is getting more packed everyday, so expect 4.5H rounds. Course currently very lush/green after overseeding completed.

Tees mostly lush and close to immaculate. Had plenty of time to fix divots a couple days playing as a 2some or 3some behind 4somes.

Fairways being watered heavily because of the recent overseeding and not yet firm. Plays LONG w/o the normal amount of roll out.

Rough is now thick, nicely maintained and becoming punitive even though maintained fairly low.

Sand here is plentiful, thick and deep around the greens. Hardpacked on the fairway traps. Almost always maintained every day by the staff.

Large Bermuda greens are firm and smooth. Beginning to roll quick again.

Fun to play Fazio layout that constantly goes up/down rolling hills. Nice restaurant on site with reasonable golf course prices and a good selection. Excellent all grass practice area which includes range balls and multiple chipping/putting greens. Carts have all the GPS features one would expect. Customer service always good at this facility. Usually no drink cart on weekdays, snack shop @ the turn is available. Because this course is so spread out, you rarely see walkers here. Recommended.

Rode the Greens (6537/71.1/135) in around 4.5 H twilight with 2 nice vacationers. 85, clear and just a little breezy made for very comfortable playing conditions. The front 9 just reopened recently after being closed all summer to renovate the sprinkler system. Currently very lush/green after overseeding completed. Tees mostly lush and level but with unfixed divots on the par 3's already. Fairways firm. and lush. Not yet cut tight to produce lots of rolls. Rough is now a good combination of overseed vertical grass mixed with horizontal Bermuda. Sand very nicely maintained. Plentiful, thick and deep around the greens. Hardpacked on the fairway traps. Large Bermuda greens are rolling smooth and quick again after the front 9 was closed all summer. Firm with few ball marks because of the firmness. Nice restaurant on site with a good selection and reasonable golf course prices. Excellent all grass practice area which includes range balls. Carts have nice GPS. Customer service always good at this facility. Usually no drink cart on weekdays, snack shop @ the turn is available. Because this course is so spread out, you rarely see walkers here. Fun to play Fazio layout that constantly goes up/down rolling hills to get in 18 on this course. Recommended.

Rode the Greens on the back Canyon x 2 twilight in 3H. Sunny, high 90's with little breeze.

Tees mostly level/lush but are furry during the summer.

Fairways are lush and not cut as tight as they are in prime season. Still good to play from, just less roll.

Bermuda Rough is lush and can be penal. Can either be a perfect lie or a 1/2 shot penalty within a small area.

Sand is plentiful here and usually very well maintained. Greenside thick and deep, fairways more hardpan.

Greens firm, smooth but putt medium slow. Maintained higher because of the summer heat. Few ball marks because they are firm, so everything releases here.

Carts have upgraded GPS. Friendly customer service on all levels. No on course services, but snack shop @ the turn with a nice restaurant onsite. Excellent all grass practice area that includes multiple chipping and putting greens. Challenging Fazio layout that is up/down rolling hills and fun to play. Almost every hole has lateral hazard native areas, so accuracy is a premium on this layout. Recommended.

Rode the Greens on the Canyon back twilight. POP was whatever you wanted, did not see another golfer on this 9. Overcast, mid 90's with little breeze made for decent golfing conditions. First time playing here in 6 weeks and all I can say is WOW... and it's not a good wow either. While many courses would be very pleased with these conditions, this is about as rough around the edges as I have ever seen Ventana. Tees mostly level/lush but furry from not being cut down recently. Fairways lush but also furry, So not playing as firm and fast as they normally do. Still good to play from. Rough is often thick Bermuda and can either be a perfect lie or a 1/2 shot penalty. Within a small area, your ball could be sitting up like on a tee or you practically need to be on top of it to see it. Sand is plentiful here and nicely maintained. Greenside thick and deep, fairways more hardpan. Greens firm, smooth but were slow. Did not appear to have been mowed in 1+ days? So you had to whack putts to get them by the hole. Few ball marks because they are firm, so everything releases here. Carts have upgraded GPS. Friendly customer service on all levels. No on course services, but snack shop @ the turn with a nice restaurant onsite. Excellent all grass practice area that includes multiple chipping and putting greens. Recommended only if you got a good deal on the price until they start mowing more often.

Rode the Greens on the back Canyon/front Mountain midday in 4.5H with John/Chris. Sunny, low 90's with little breeze made for nice golfing conditions.

Very challenging Fazio layout that is up/down rolling hills and fun to play. Almost every hole has lateral hazard native areas, so accuracy is a premium on this layout.

Tees mostly level/lush but with too many unfixed divots.

Fairways drying out and have some brown patches. But cut tight and still good to play from.

Rough is clumpy Bermuda and can either be a perfect lie or a 1/2 shot penalty within a small area.

Sand is plentiful here and immaculately maintained. Greenside thick and deep, fairways more hardpan.

Greens firm, smooth and putt medium fast. Few ball marks because they are firm, so everything releases here.

Carts have upgraded GPS. Friendly customer service on all levels. No on course services, but snack shop @ the turn with a nice restaurant onsite. Excellent all grass practice area that includes multiple chipping and putting greens. Recommended.

Rode the Greens (6537/71.1/135) in less than 3H twilight. 100, clear and even with a good breeze, it was hot. The front 9 is closed until late summer to renovate the sprinkler system. So currently playing the back twice on this fun to play Fazio layout that constantly goes up/down rolling hills to get in 18 for this course. Tees recently punched, but does not affect play. Mostly lush and level. However, more and more unfixed divots with a Summer season skeleton maint. staff. Fairways firm with lots of roll. Mostly lush, cut tight but beginning to get some brown spots from the heat. Rough clumpy Bermuda that will produce many questionable lies. Sand very nicely maintained. Plentiful, thick and deep around the greens. Hardpacked on the fairway traps. Large Bermuda greens are firm with few ball marks because of the firmness. Rolling smooth and quick again after spring punching. Excellent all grass practice area which includes range balls. Carts have nice GPS. Customer service always good at this facility. Usually no drink cart on weekdays, snack shop @ the turn is available. Because this course is so spread out, you rarely see walkers here. Nice restaurant on site with a good selection and reasonable golf course prices. Recommended.

Rode the Greens (6537/71.1/135) in less than 3H twilight. 95 and calm made for surprisingly pleasant playing conditions.

Tees lush and level with few unfixed divots.

Fairways firm with lots of roll. Mostly lush, cut tight bit beginning to get some brown spots from the heat.

Rough is mostly clumpy Bermuda coming out of dormancy.

Sand nicely maintained. Plentiful, thick and deep around the greens. Hardpacked on the fairway traps.

Large Bermuda greens are at least 2 weeks away from being smooth again after spring pucnhing. Firm but have slowed to medium speed with the warmer weather. Few ball marks because of the firmness.

Challenging, fun to play Fazio layout that constantly goes up/down rolling hills. Excellent all grass practice area which includes range balls. Carts have nice GPS. Customer service always top notch at this facility. Usually no drink cart on weekdays, snack shop @ the turn is available. Nice restaurant on site with a good selection and reasonable golf course prices. Recommended.
