Played 9/11 in an annual shotgun tourney. Course is in excellent all around condition right now. Only minor bummer was they sanded the greens recently. Didn't really affect uphill puts, but side hill and down hill tended to be a little bumpy and caused a knucle ball effect on those putts. The greens did hold shots very well. POP was not bad at 4:30 for a scramble. White teeboxes were nearly perfect all around. Fairways were also nearly perfect, bermuda grass, lush with good cushion and perfect roll out. Rough wasn't too penal, but it was in good shape. Didn't play out of the bunkers, but they looked just fine. Customer service was perfect, they know what they're doing with a tournament. Wish I played enough to become a member, it would be good choice to join. Highly recommend if you ever get an invite.

Played yesterday, Friday, Aug 25. Showed up as a single without a tee time and got right out. Vineyard/Ranch is how they sent me out by myself. I blazed through the Vineyard in an hour, replaying 6-8. Ranch was about 1.5 hrs and then played Ranch again in about 1 hr. $85
for twilight county resident is worth it if you can play 30 holes like I did, lol. But the Vineyard is just a lackluster nine holes in my opinion. Holes 1 and 5 on the Vineyard are good holes but the other 7 holes just are mediocre. And the greens on the Vineyard are crazy flat.

Conditions are good for the most part, but $85 rate is pushing it, especially if you play the Vineyard in the rotation. Black tees were level, but pretty shaggy and chewed up. Fairways were good to very good, no issues at all there. Fairways were definitely the highlight of the courses. Greens had a lot of ball marks and were just OK. They held shots well, but were a little bumpy and average speed. Sand traps looked worse than they played, they were damp and clumpy on the surface but underneath, they were just fine and played well actually. Rough wasn't too penal.

I do love this course, but not at the premium price, especially if you have to play the Vineyard nine. Customer service was good, beverage cart around several times and guys in the proshop were fine. Paul was out at the Vineyard/Ranch first tee when I made the turn and was very friendly. I do recommend, the Canyon/Ranch nines are awesome.

Played yesterday/Friday at 2pm, $42 with cart, POP 4hrs15mins.

This course is really growing on me. Every time I play it, I appreciate the layout more and more. It's relatively flat all over, but mature trees, some ravines and great doglegs make it very fun. Some of the holes (especially on the back nine) are just beautiful. Condition has been the only issue in the past, but yesterday everything was in good to really good condition. Staff in the pro shop and bar are great. Starter at first tee very friendly. Beverage cart was around twice, but we already loaded up at the beginning and the turn, but she seemed very nice.

Teeboxes were just fine on the verge of very good. Nice and level without much divot damage.

Fairways were good to very good! I didn't have any bad lies. They had nice cushion and good amount of rollout.

Rough is minimal height, no problems to hit from, but you'll be in the trees if you miss the fairway, so that's your major punishment.

Greens were great. A little slow, especially up hill, but they were smooth and held shots very well. No issues whatsoever.

I found one bunker and it was a little hard under the first inch of good sand. My only complaint and criticism of the course.

I highly recommend right now. It's an old course and rough around the edges (cart paths are a little rough and some outlining areas aren't kept up very well, but they don't come into play at all, just not the best "eye candy"). The clubhouse is no frills and the driving range isn't anything spectacular, but I thoroughly enjoy this course, especially for the price range.

Played yesterday, Sunday, July 16. Beautiful day, 80degrees and about one club ocean breeze. Tee time 1:10pm with my brother and our wives. Proshop guys were awesome especially the PA announcer, really made the start of the day enjoyable!! Thanks guys, didn't get any names, but they were awesome.

Course is in good to very good shape right now. Blue Tee boxes were ok to good, they need some leveling. The wives played the reds and those tees looked perfect!

Fairways were very nice, never had a bad lie all day and my brother and I each hit 11 fairways, so that was nice.

Rough was long enough to grab your club, for sure, but short enough to find your ball and get it advanced, just grip a little tighter and aim a little to the right to compensate.

Sand traps were ok for the most part, but many of them had lots of squirrel tracks, my ball sat down in one of those tracks on the greenside bunker on 17 and it made for a difficult shot, but managed to get it out onto the green.

Greens were very good. Very few ball marks and they held shots very well. Smooth for the most part, but got a little bumpy towards the end of the day. They rolled at a great pace and were consistent.

POP was 4.25hrs, can't complain. Little waiting on the last few holes, but nothing alarming. $62 with a cart is a little steep, but it's the new sign of the times. Get on out there, it's playing very well right now.
