9/19 using teeoff $19 for 9 playing with 2 really nice guys and following a 2some and 4 some had POP of about 115. 1st time here and a fun layout and more difficult than the length would indicate with the fairways having good cover but quite soft from the recent hurricane. Nice lies but limited roll out. Rough was tough being long and tangled roviding quite a challenge to advance.
Tees were not in the best of shape with the par 3s mostly beat up and thin. Many also were uneven with some pronounced slope. Did not get into any bunkers which looked to have acceptable sand and were groomed.
As indicated earlier the course plays harder than the length as the fairways are more narrow than they appear from the tee. There is often enough of a dog leg to also shrink the landing area. And then there are the greens all having significant slope often maginfied by the prevailing topography. Most were in nice shape with # 8 having significant issues with a large bare area. I had trouble getting the pace. And way too often found myself short sided which did not go well. Overall an enjoyable outing a nice scenic location, good weather and good company. Staff was friendly and welcoming.

9/13 playing as a guest with the Wed mens club 825 teeoff with an outstanding POP of 4 hr.Fairways are in overall good shape with the turf being quite healthy with good cushion and is well watered to the point that the ground is rathw soft limiting runout.Due to the soft conditions there are a lot of large divots about 1/4 of which were not filled. There are some areas that have retained water and need to be marked off to prevent cart traffic. Also there are some areas in the swales close to the greens that are wet enough to qualify as casual water and are so soft and spongy that it could easily swallow an approch shot.
Rough is cut fairly short but is still a factor as it quickly stops shots andextraction varies depending on whether the ball sinks or sits up. Tees are in ok to good shape. Some par 3s have unfilled divots even with mix available but no scoops. Tee markers are being rotated but it did not appear that anyone was responsible to fill the divots from past locations.
Bunkers look to have ample sand but many are thin at the bottom and often damp. Many bunkers do not have the self grooming rakes so there were often some major fot prints even though the bunkers looked to hac=ve been freshly maintained.
Greens follow the theme of being quite soft leaving them very receptive but prone to large pitch marks and with the rather thin cover repairs are difficult. Many of the treens look damaged with spots and small bare spots. Don't know if the weater has imped3ed the greens growth or if they are getting too much water and not enough sun but they just look fragile. # 15 the par 3 and the 1st hole of the quandry looked to have the berst conditioned green with very good turf. Maybe due to more sun and a consistent breeze. IN spite of the appearance greens rolled pretty well even with the occasional bumps.
Check in was easy. Very friendly welcoming staff. Nice practice area with practice bunker, large chip and pitch green and well maintained putting green. @nd week in a row that the driving range had a delayed opening due to required work so did not get a full warm up but some things take priority and overall the course consistently is working to provide a really good golf experience.

9/6 415 POP with easy check in. Range was closed as crew was fixing a water leak in front of the bays. Fairways have good cover to the point of not giving all that much roll, but really good lies. Found a few unfilled divots but not horrible. There were a few wet areas, maybe left over from the last rain and was surprised that they were not roped off as it was evident that carts could leave significant tracks. Rough not very long but thick and grabby both limiting roll and affecting the clubhead.
bunkers were varied, some being wet and some thin at the bottom. All were freshly groomed but a few had rakes that lacked instruction as to how to use to smooth out foot prints.
Tees were level with good cover. Did notice that on the par 3s markers looked to have been rotated but a lot of unfilled divots were left from the old marker placements. Also there were boxes with divot mix but no scoops.
Greens were reported to be 10.5 but seemed a little slower, maybe due to being more on the damp side and being rather soft. Appearance wise they looked a little beat up with lots of spots and color variation. Overall rolled fairly well and played better than they looked.

8/9 a little late but I am olfd and easily distracted. Nice POP of 415 with minimal waiting playing with the mens club as a guest and must say that they kept all the groups moving. Fairways are really good with lush coverage so good lies but less rollout. Only a coucple of wet areas and limited divot damage. Rough is cut down but is very healthy and rather sticky. Bunkers were groomed and looked good but a couple had very thin coverage over wet hardpack if the ball was at the bottom of the trap. Deep and generally heavy sand on the slopes.
Tees had good coverage and only #8 with the markers up toward the front had some slant.
Greens looked rather beat up. They were fairly damp and on the soft side so maybe the ball marks were very slow to heal. Overall rolled ok but ball tended to wander a bit with loss of speed.
