Early am in round in slightly over four hours on the Creek/Stonehouse nines. They have the Oaks closed for fall maintenance till Oct. 5th. Staff and facilities always top notch. Played with another single and a twosome that were decent hackers. The tee boxes are all level and most have real good coverage now. The mowers were out and the rough was being cut down to near fairway length. The coverage on the Creek nine can be thin on a couple holes but good enough to hit from. The fairways were trimmed shorter than I can ever remember. The hot weather has not been to harsh as the fairways do not have any dry or bare sections on either nine. The fairways allowed for decent roll if you found the right line. The traps all have great plentiful sand but a few had clumps of grass growing in them. The greens were all in fantastic condition with very few ball marks. They were holding shots well and were slightly slower than usual while holding lines nicely. The staff said that they will be closing the Creek nine next followed by Stonehouse. The rates are going up but still acceptable for similar area courses.

Early morning round in 4.5 hours on the Oaks/Creek nines. Staff has always been great and friendly. The practice facilities weren't busy at all on the warm morning. It appears Thursday mornings are when the ladies club plays. The carts remain top notch with everything you need. The tee boxes were good with exception of the beat up par three boxes on the Creek nine. The rough has been cut down shorter and the heat has dried it up some but you can find your ball in it fairly easily now. Hitting from the rough can be easy or difficult depending on the thickness from hole to hole. All of the fairways have real nice coverage with approach sections on the longer holes being full of divots in need of repair and sand. The carts have sand bottles but many golfers don't know how to use them evidently. The traps all have plenty of good to great sand and were all raked nicely. The greens were quite a bit slower than usual with the extra water they were receiving on this hot day. They were holding shots and had very few ball marks which was nice to see. With the slower greens came less break than was usual for a round here. The rates are acceptable for what you'll find in the local valley.

Early morning 3.5 hour round on a well conditioned course. Staff is always friendly. Practice facilities are well maintained and large enough. The carts are very nice with accurate gps and bluetooth. The tee boxes all had great coverage but many of the tees were set on sloped ground. The rough is thick enough to locate a ball in but advancing it was slightly difficult. The fairways were all cut down shorter than I've ever seen before but still provided good lies. There was quite a bit of water being put down on the entire course which made for limited roll and mud balls. The fairways here are fairly narrow and accuracy is prime. The traps all have real nice sand but some were damp and in need on raking. Hitting a shot from them was not too difficult. The greens all had really nice coverage and looked great. Putting on them was another story. The greens were a little damp and held shots well. The speed was inconsistent from green to green and there WERE numerous ball marks on every hole that had not been repaired. There were so many marks that fixing those in your line got old after a few holes. Most greens here are very small and protected by bunkers. The weekday senior rates are reasonable and freeway access is easy.

Played a four hour round Thursday morning on the Creek/Stonehouse nines. The staff is always in step and check in goes smoothly every time. The carts are pretty plush with everything one needs and then some. The GPS in our cart was extremely accurate and Bluetooth speakers connected without a problem. The tee boxes were in nice shape with total coverage including the par three holes on both nines. The rough has finally been cut to a perfect height for holding up off line shots. Finding your ball was pretty easy and hitting from the rough was doable. The fairways have been trimmed down as well and the thin sections have filled in nicely. Hitting from the fairways was a pleasure and provided decent roll. The traps were all raked and just slightly damp. I found several and playing from them wasn't an issue. The greens were in excellent shape with a noticeable speed difference on the two nines. The Creek greens were much quicker but held approach shots good. The Stonehouse greens held well also but were damper and slower. The Stonehouse nine was in really good shape compared to my last round many months ago. We generally walk the Oaks/Creek nines but Stonehouse is not an enjoyable walk. Always recommended

Mid week early morning 4.5 hour round. The staff is friendly and helpful. The carts are good and equipped with gps and windshields. The tee boxes were all level but slightly thin and dry. The rough is hit and miss with sections but not present on every hole. Where it exists most rough was thin and short enough to put a good strike on the ball. The fairways vary from good to poor depending on the hole. The good fairways had nice coverage with decent lies. The thin fairways were thinner and dry requiring you to move the ball to grass. The traps were mostly thin, dry, compact and in need of more sand. The greens were in decent shape and held approach shots okay. The greens were quite slow overall and still bumpy depending on the hole. There was total coverage on all holes with some having a weed or two popping up here and there. The layout and location of the course are good and rates reasonable.
