Customer service top notch, range facility is excellent, good practice areas; bunker, chipping, putting zones.
Tee grounds in great condition, summer brown settling in places on tee box. Fairways are cut summer short, tight so leave those 12-14 degree bounce wedges in your bag for fairway shots under 90 yards. Roll out for Tee-driver shots are good, as mentioned summer fast conditions. Bunkers reworked and in much better shape, although sand is inconsistent from one greenside bunker to the next. Which has always been a major challenge at this course, bunker sand consistency.

NOW THE BAD:
Greens are still not favorable. Playing partners in group rated the greens here 7/10, compared to a year ago. This is after an 8-week shutdown trying to redo the green putting surfaces. Now 32 days after the mid-July reopener, the greens are still in recovery mode. Many machine tracks still visible on the green surfaces. Several greens had square or rectangular patchwork of turf applied. We took relief on the greens from these patches. Line-gap separation between normal green surface and turf patches would cause the putted ball to roll WAY offline of the target line to cup/hole.

Was warned by starter; "greens need 2 more weeks". Same thing we were told the past 2x we played here in the last 3 weeks. But we keep going as we live adjacent to Arrowood GC. But honestly, the greens at Oceanside Muni, 2 miles away, are superior for roll, consistency and conditions than the greens here currently.

NOW THE REALLY BAD; Green fees are still $120 round on weekends, $100 during week. For the green conditions, poor value for your money. However, course staff are working very hard to ensure you have a good round. Beverage cart stopped by twice on each 9 holes, even though we ordered nothing from the cart. Golf riding carts are clean and in good shape. Food service, quality is a plus, although a bit $$, but what isn't expensive these days for food anywhere.
