I played Pheasant Run Friday afternoon and what once was one of my favorite little hidden gem is now in sad condition. I can’t comment on the greens as they were recently punched. My guess is they did them earlier in the week. The fairways is were the course is really showing the poor conditions. Fairways were very thin with several “GUR” portions marked out due to no grass at all. Tee boxes weren’t too bad. About what you would expect for a typical muni course. I was happy to see that the sand traps were improved from the last time I played here. Bunkers actually had a playable amount of sand in them.

I still like the layout of Pheasant Run with all the water features. The par 4’s are all long in distance. Usually a long iron (or hybrid) for your approach shot. Once the greens heal and the temps cool off so the fairways have a chance to rebound, I might give it another shot. But it’s definitely a skip it for now.

COVID: cups are turned upside down, no rakes, single rider per cart, only two people allowed in the pro shop at a time, outside patio dining only for the restaurant which has a limited menu. No flags in on the practice putting green.
