Bunkers have been filled with nice new white sand. Only real problem is the rough is more level and less bumpy than the fairways. You never know which way the ball will bounce when it hits. Just one more item that made it a little tedious was they allow fivesomes and no marshal to move them along. I'm not sure but this might be the only course that allows that. This was the reason the 3 of us took over 4 hours to play a round.
Just got back from playing and it was a waste of time. Not sure what they did the last month while doing maintenance but make it worse. Rough goes from hard pan to 8”. This course is the only one I play where you never see any work going on. Other courses always have workers out doing something.
The bunkers are still nice sand but no longer white,all brown. Not sure if it's lazy golfers or golfers that just don't care but I have never seen so many greens just covered in unrepaired ball marks. Looked like acne.

Save your money. This course is about the condition it was in 4-5 years ago. Very little coverage on the fairways, rough is just big clumps of grass and the cart paths would make for better bunkers. Even with closing your club face you couldn't dig into the bunkers. It says they did maintenance in early April so why is there punch holes on 1/2 the greens?
I see they did maintenance about a month ago but you wouldn’t know it. Greens beat up,pebbles in bunkers. It’s basically the same as it was a month ago.
I think the course was in better condition before maintenance. Rough is very inconsistent with more weeds than grass. Oh well the, keep in the fairway. Problem? The last 2 weeks it took roughly 4 hours or less to play, today? Back to 5 hours and still no way to know how far the hole is. It takes time to drive up to the green,see where the hole is and then drive back to the ball.
The course is in really good shape. Keep up the good work. Now the bad. Played this course twice last week and yesterday. All 3 rounds were over 5 hours and this was with tee times around 8AM. Use to take around 4 hours but lately, what a mess. Marshal says it's because they can't force the slow groups to speed up as they are paying customers. Ha ha ha. I remember a couple of years ago they asked us to move faster as were making the turn at the 2 hour mark. Maybe if Sean would get out of his office and see what's going on but I doubt it. Also, was advised not to complain to Sean as he does not take criticism well.
.Played today and course is in the best shape I can remember being in. Green and lush. Even the fairways had really good coverage. My ball even sat down on a few fairways like it would in short rough. Most likely keeping them a little longer because of the heat. Now the weird part, all the flags were yellow. No red,white,or blue. The starter said it was because the white flags were dirty so they replaced 6 flags with 18 other flags. But the problem was, no rhyme or reason as to placement. The first 3 greens were up front, then back, then up front again and then 2 middle. We found ourselves driving up to the green to see where they were located for our approach shots. Just slowed everyone down. Don't think the GM gave any thought to this.
Played there on Sunday. The fairways and greens were in good condition. However, the grounds between the houses and the course were ugly, and unkept, and the practice range looked like a dirt bowl, couldn't see where yellow balls landed.
Course is in aok shape for just coming out of maintenance 2 weeks ago. But really, an early morning tee time and it took over 5 hours!!!
Course is in good shape but I don't understand how with all the rain we received the fairways were rock hard. Makes no sense. Your thoughts?
Has to be a better way to reseed the tee boxes other than closing them all down at once. How about 1/2 for a month then the other 1/2. Probably wouldn't have been that bad if this course was level but temporary tees were either up hill or down hill with a few above or below your feet.
