Played the recently reopened Lakes this morning in four hours. The staff is great and the facilities and carts are good. The tee boxes are all level but a little thin and dry. The rough was dried out and hardly appeared anywhere today. They had plugged the fairways and tee boxes but the holes were empty and very dry (please water). Most fairways had pretty good coverage but very dry with tight lies. The traps were light on sand and damp but well groomed. The greens were in nice shape but still a little bumpy from maintenance. The speed on the greens was slower than usual and they were a little softer than common but held shot well. The other course here (Palms) is in slightly better shape right now. Both courses are really busy on the weekends as they rates are reasonable for the area courses.

Played as a guest Saturday afternoon in a little over four hours. The staff was very professional and friendly. The practice facilities were as nice as the course itself. The comfortable carts had gps but ours had a mind of its own and rarely worked. The course reminded me off a combo of Hidden Valley, The Journey and Cross Creek. The tee boxes were great with total coverage and all level. The rough was only a few inches tall and not very penal. The bermuda fairways were in great shape but a few were a little dry in places with very tight lies. The traps were numerous but in great condition with quality sand. The greens were all a little firm and well struck shots all rolled out. Being able to read the greens was a little frustrating as many had a lot less break than they appeared. The wind blowing through this canyon course is also a factor in the afternoon. The holes are all lined with scrub and protected areas with several having forced carries that are manageable. Course management is needed as is a couple rounds to figure out what to hit and where on each hole. The course is in great shape as it recently reopened and it should only improve condition wise over the summer.

Mid afternoon round on Memorial Day Saturday in 5.5 hours! The course has relaxed the single cart rider rule. The staff and carts are great if your gps works, ours did not. The tee boxes were a little thin, very dry and shaggy. You will find a few that are also sloped. The rough was about perfect length to slow wayward shots but short enough to locate your ball and advance it. The fairways had great coverage with mixed grasses only a few dry places to be found during the round. The traps were in pretty good condition with ample sand but no rakes. Greens were in good shape but many were softer than usual and quite slow. The earlier groups also decided to NOT repair many ball marks! The pace of play was pathetic and was very frustrating for those in front of and behind us. The rates are falling back slightly in line with what you'd expect for your green fees.

First off on a perfect Saturday for golf and finished in 4.5 hours (paired with two walkers). The staff is great and the carts are nice. The course is in great shape right now. The tee boxes are all level and were in good condition. The rough was thick but well trimmed. There were a few places where the grass clippings made finding a ball impossible. Fairways had fantastic coverage and the bermuda is greening up everywhere. The traps had no rakes but since we where out early most were in good shape but very damp and some in need of weeding. The greens are very nice but quite a bit slower than usual. It was disappointing to see many ball marks in need of repair also on a few holes. The walking rate is very reasonable for the shape the course is in right now. Highly recommended.

Early morning Saturday round in four hours without a mask! The course was busy but the pro shop was getting the groups out fairly quickly. The tee boxes were mostly level but needed a trim. The rough was the most brutal I've ever seen during a round of golf. Most area along the fairways was a minimum of six inches and nearly impossible to find a ball in. The fairways were mostly in good condition with a couple being a little dry but with good coverage. The traps all had rakes and were extremely damp/wet so not easy to play from. The greens were very good and held shots well. They were not very quick but held a line and most had very few ball marks. This was the first time back here in about seven years and it was in much better condition than I had expected.
