Always look forward to playing Mesa Linda, as this shorter course provides such a fun challenge. The green complexes are so interesting with the combination of the slopes on the greens coupled with the bunkering. It's a good thing for me this course is shorter, because I cannot imagine trying to approach these greens from distance. For many years I kind of avoided this course because I thought that the short yardage would not provide very much interest. I could not have more wrong. Wish I had decided to try this course years earlier. It's just a fun track.

Conditions are good. Greens rolled well, not not as quick as I remembered them being. Fairways had nice coverage. Bunkers had sand, but not raked in many instances, but that's a quick fix. A number of the tee boxes on a few par 3 holes were chewed up, but that's not unexpected. Overall I felt conditions were good and would recommend this course for any of you who feel the short yardage would not provide an enjoyable experience, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
