Played 8/29/20 early out. "The Dragon" is this courses surname. This day the area was smoky from wild fires with a weather service warning until noon. The surrounding mountains obscured at times from views on and otherwise cloudless warm day temps from 50's - 90's.
In it's early days the course was billed as a tough track that would attempt to plunder your golf balls and humble you with slick putting surfaces. Some of that snarl has been softened. I miss the fast greens.
Haven't visited in a few years and found it surprising I have never reviewed on GK.
I would say that the greens are the biggest difference as they are slower than prior days on purpose and they have some brown spots in most of them but are smooth and roll well. Very wet in front of most greens and shots stuck well when the surface when hit with any club with height. Fairways wet in some areas dry in others. Rough thick enough to help stop errant shots heading for the junk.
Covid restrictions in place on property. Customer service was excellent.
Interesting Franklin Lloyd Wright clubhouse design and over the years the resort has built out their other facilities. A definite destination resort with much to do besides golf too.
This and rudyclub 7/24 review you now "know before you go."
Overall recommend and it's price point is a good value IMO for the area.
