Played last week on a perfect day. Drove up from the bay area, teed off at 3ish and had the entire course to myself. Never played up here this time of year so not sure what kind of shape the course is usually in but it is in very playable shape. Greens were very spongy but rolled true at medium fast speed.
Good roll in the fairways and I don't remember ever having a bad lie, but I saw a few out there. Signature 14th hole fairway was being worked on as were the tee boxes on 15. Other than that decent shape all around. The bunkers were playable except it looks like for maintenance reasons they are letting a bunch of the bigger ones grass over as ground under repair. It's a shame because these looked like good strategic bunkers, such as a cross bunker on a par five.
The course is very high on the wow factor, I loved it. I hate target golf, but this seemed a little more forgiving and most of the elevation change was of the downhill variety.The course feels like it was cut into the side of a small mountain with nice views all around. I played well but I could see this course have a love it or hate it split. I think it's a must play at least once and am curious what others think. I had an absolute blast.
