Played Sunday afternoon, twilight rate. Course was not crowded with a decent pace which picked up after the front 9.

Greens were bumpy. You need a sharp blade to cut grass. Strongly suggest you make sure those shears are sharp enough otherwise you get uneven cuts and bumpiness. Overall health of greens decent but very bumpy with twilight sun. Fairways were decent with good coverage. Rough was mixed back of thin and thick lies -- Just like Gump's box of chocolates. Bunkers were treated like waste areas without grounding the club. Tee boxes were unlevel but playable. Course is really wet on and around greens and tee boxes. In between you get a mixed bag of cut grass, not so cut grass and bare dirt.

It was hot so bring you own water as the drinking fountains may work but not the most hygienic looking. Thankfully they were operational when I played.

Played back 9 Saturday & Sunday. 1.5-2 hour round both days.

Pace of play decent. Slow players are just slow; even with 10 minute increments.

Greens in decent shape. They don't run entirely true with med speed. Well struck will respond well enough and keep on line longer.

Fairways are hit/miss. Loads of thin lies to just plain dirt. More grass than dirt though. Rough cut to same height as fairways so not a problem.

Bunkers are OK. Decent sand, just a little thin in spots.

Tee boxes were relatively flat and easy to hit from.

Overall green complexes in good to decent shape. Fairways and rough are lacking but playable.

Played Sunday afternoon. Paired with a threesome.

Pace of play was around 3.5 hours. Not bad for a Sunday.

Greens in OK shape. Not great and very bouncy from afternoon sun. Hard to keep a line even with a well struck putt. Greens are a little on the fluffy side and hard to find a consistent pace.

Rough around green fairly lush but the further you get away from the green the thinner the lies. In fact I would say there was little to no coverage byond 15 feed from the green or even the first cut of rough.

Fairways lies were thin at best. Still Ok to hit from.

Rough cut to same height as fairways but as I said earlier the further you get way from the fairways the thinner the rough becomes; almost to the point of hard-pan.

Tee boxes were flatish. Bunkers along fairway were inconsistent from having a nice layer of sand to non existent. Bunkers around the greens had decent sand.

Overall was happy with pace. Conditions for the course are just OK.

Just wished the greens were in better shape instead of being so bumpy.

Played today mid-morning. 2-some with a single. Pace of play was fast with 10 minute spacing. We were keeping up with the group ahead.

Greens were lightly dusted. They ran true with well struck putts. They ran consistently around a medium/fast pace.

Bunkers around greens were thin. I treated them like waste areas so it was easier to play out of.

Fairways were greenish. They had good coverage. They were decent to hit from.

Rough was cut to the same height as fairway. Beyond the rough was all dried out. Loads of thin lies.

Tee boxes were flat if you moved behind the tee markers.

Pace of play was fast (sub 4 hours walking). Almost beat the sun from coming out midday to early afternoon. The grounds keepers were removing kikuya around the greens and sanding the exposed areas. Conditions were decent for type of course. Very playable. And the pace of play was fun with the 10 minute spacing.

Covid-19 notes: Show up 10 minutes ahead of your tee time to be admitted onto the course. Wear a mask at least in the common areas. Wash your hands (Hand Sanitizer available). Single rider per cart.

Played 9 holes Sunday Twilight. $20 to walk.
Greens ran with medium/slow speed but very bumpy so much in fact you really had to hit the ball square to ensure it had even a remote chance of staying on course.
Bunkers around greens had sand but hard packed. No rakes so I wonder why the superintendent staff rake the bunkers in the AM because by the PM when I played they were in sore shape if they do in fact rake the bunkers daily.
Fairways in OK shape, loads of mixed fescue and really thin lies. Rough cut to same height as fairway. Tee boxes in OK shape perhaps best part. Grass around tee boxes are thick.

Pace of play for 9 holes -- 1 hour for a Sunday!!!!
Personally though I get better prices at City courses that is unless you can actually get on a city course, this county course is OK in my book. Not the greatest, not the best, just a passing grade here.

Played Sunday afternoon with cart as a single following a walking twosome.

Pace of play was steady. Kept in constant view of group ahead. The group behind never caught up to me. Loads of golfers skipping around the course playing holes in between the group spacing which was frequent.

Greens were OK. They were slow/medium speed. They did not hold their line and were a little spongy for my taste but playable nevertheless.

Bunkers were well stocked with sand. No rakes but definitely easy to hit from.

Fairways were for the most part lush. Good cushion underneath made hitting from fairways easy.

Rough was varying lengths from thin to bushy. What you saw was what you got. Definitely on the thick side but playable.

Tee Boxes were my personal pet peeve. For me I felt the tee boxes were too lush. Easy to stick tee into ground but the fescue was left high and thick. Finally teed my shots slightly above grass since the tee boxes allowed you to sink into ground.

Pace of play was decent. Conditions though not ideal were very playable. Definitely a course to add to your rotation if only because it's close and even with decent conditions it did not feel as busy as it has in the past. Recommended.

Played Wednesday. It started cloudy but quickly burned away during the afternoon.

Golf Course in good shape. Tee boxes are a little on the thick and busy side but playable. Loads of cushion underfoot so you may feel a little unbalanced when you hit your drive.

Fairways had good coverage with nice cushion underneath for the most part. Bunkers had decent sand. No rakes so do your best to clean up after yourselves.

Greens were in good shape. Rolled medium speed and very consistent from green to green.

Pace of play was strange. Twosome playing in fornt of us and we kept running into them. Course was fairly packed even with spacing.

NO WATER AVAILALBE ON COURSE. Be sure to stock up in clubhouse/starter. Covid-19 rules are enforced -- essentially Wear a Mask, Wash your hands (Bring Hand Sanitizer) and Keep your distance. No walk-ons allowed; best to call ahead or reserve a tee time online. My personal opinion is this will continue for the foreseeable future (2-3 months). I personally like it since the course is crowded BUT moving.

Even range is open but spacing is practiced -- fewer mats.

Be safe. Be Smart. Follow their rules and Stay Healthy. If not for you; then for others. Now is not to time to be selfish and petty -- Do that on your own time. When it involves dealing with others, now is the time to be a good, helpful and friendly neighbor.

Played today.

Very hard to call and reserve tee time. Was on hold at least 10 minutes. Gotta say TeeOff call center needs more folks answering phones.

Tee boxes relatively flat and lush.
Fairways in very good shape. Very lush and good coverage. No bare spots seen.
Rough is still thick and sticky.
Bunkers are the worse part of the course. Varying types of sand and some wet and very shallow.
Greens were recently punched with small tines. Should heal in a week. Greens ran a medium/slow speed and very bouncy.

Pace of play was OK. My group was slow but that's what happens when two are relatively new players.

You must call ahead. Reservations only. No walk ons. Face mask required around common areas. Around course you can ditch the mask.

Just play safe. Wear your mask when appropriate. Wash your hands. Keep your distance. Bring you own hand sanitizer and enjoy the day.

Played Saturday.

It should be mentioned that I play normally as a single. In this COVID-19 world with online booking for tee times encouraged; why do you offer twosome or larger only? I had to wait for the next business day to reserve a tee time which was no longer available. Had to settle for an afternoon tee time. No worries but still annoying.

Tee boxes lush but mostly uneven. It's funny you see all the broken tees littering the tee box but you're hesitant to pick them up because they may be "contaminated." Personally they have been sitting in the sun for at least 20 minutes so perhaps it would be OK but that is just my personal opinion. That and the fact I carry with me hand sanitizer now in my bag I feel pretty confident with social distancing and not touching my face I should be OK.

Fairways lush.

Sand in bunkers OK. Thin layer of sand around greens with very thick layer of clay underneath. Loads of bounce but not to my personal liking. Saw bunker 3 times around greens.

Rough was thick and sticky.

Greens were slow early but started to speed up. Slow/Medium speed. Not a lot of break until the putt slows down. Loads of unfixed divots. Putts bumpy to smooth -- very inconsistent for line but speed remained fairly consistent.

Pace of play was SLOW. It was a busy day. Practice greens closed. Short game area closed. Practice Range open with social distancing and masks.

Considering; it's OK conditions. Not great but any golf right now is in my opinion a good thing.

Just remember you are are responsible for you. That means YOU have to wash your hands often. YOU should avoid touching your face. YOU should keep your distance to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Or not, that is YOUR choice. My choice is if you don't do what I think is safe for me is to not hang around you. This is a free country BUT if you decide to patronize a business YOU must abide by their rules otherwise they have to right to refuse service. Not ranting here; just pointing out the obvious from the rash of opinions out there.

Played Monday and my second round since COVID-19 Shelter-in-Place restrictions have been relaxed. It was a long round with a few newbies but still golf.

Tees are lush, level, and playable. I like to tee my ball a little low and the grass but cut to around the same height as my teed ball.

Fairways had good coverage -- very lush with a nice cushion underneath.

Rough cut but not shaggy. you can find your ball but with this type of fescue the ball does sink a little and the grass clippings hide the ball from time to time.

Bunkers in decent shape. Around greens they are hard packed but playable.

Greens are slow but rolled true with a firmly struck putt. I am talking PGA 1960's slow. Managed to get the pace early on during my round and the greens were fairly consistent. Very little bounciness and held their line well. High shots held well.

Covid-19 is enforced here. No Walk-ons allowed. Masks on course required. No ball washers, benches, or rakes on course. Pace of play was slow but that was player's problem. Spacing was 12 minutes per tee time. If you make reservations for a threesome but show up with four they cannot accommodate like they could before. The reason is simple, they group fivesomes and if two more players reserve that tee time they cannot push folks around to make room. They have to maintain their 12 minute spacing. And if there are other tee times that are filled with other players they will not push them back just to accommodate you. If they do then the following groups are pushed back at least 30 minutes. My advice be sure who is coming BEFORE you reserve.

Course in decent and very playable shape. Greens slow but easy to read and if you're diligent you can figure out the pace quickly.

Played Sunday afternoon with Shelter-in-Place restrictions relaxed and the course is in perhaps the best shape I have ever seen it. Check out my photos of Alondra on the GK App.

Tee Boxes are lush. I like to tee my ball low and the tee boxes are cut slightly below where I normally tee up. They are flat and lush.

Fairways are mowed low with very good coverage.

Bunkers have no rakes. They are rock hard but treat it like a waste area and you can get out. Fairway bunkers are firm. Bunkers around the green complex are hard-pan but playable.

Rough is deep. Easy to loose a ball from just off the fairway. It's very thick and sticky to hit from.

Greens are SLOW and soft. It's expected. You need to hit it firm to keep it straight. Noticed that if you hit it firm it will roll fairly true with little bounciness.

They are practicing good COVID-19 mitigation. Sales are credit/debit only. No cash. No rakes and a little foam insert in the cup. There was good spread. You MUST make reservations prior to playing. NO walk-on's allowed. Bring a mask for use in common and high traffic areas. Otherwise it's clean fresh air on a course with decent conditions. If you want super fast greens I would wait. I believe they are slowly cutting down the greens to speed them up but that may come later rather than sooner. Perhaps a little top dressing may be in order soon to firm up the greens.

It was a welcome sight to see after the restrictions have been relaxed. And they make you feel safe with the mitigation strategies in place. Being one of a few choices here in the South Bay it's golf, they are open and ready for business.

Practicing my social distancing I joined a Tournament sponsored by the South Bay Golf Links.

Greens were on slow side. You could see Poa in bloom so it was bumpy from the get go.
Fairways had decent coverage. Some thin lies around the swails.
Rough was thick, sticky and hard to hit from. It clearly made you want to stay in the fairway.
Bunkers were hard packed with sand.
Tee boxes were flatish and playable.

This was a tournament so play was slow but a decent 4:30 POP.

It was a nice pause from all the craziness of fighting food lines at the supermarket LOL. They run a clean and easy operation, definitely recommended.
