First out 8/15 on a mild Sunday morning ideal weather.
Writing review for primary purpose of report on the putting surfaces.
Unusually bumpy pretty much all of them for some reason of which I'd only be speculating to explain. They putted ok but not the normal smoothness expected here.
Fairways provide tight lies with some areas of wetness from overnight watering and some drier areas from the relentless daily summer sun. Very playable 90%.
The course does a good job of emailing and thanks for playing. In this case I texted back yesterday as they offered. Asking about the putting surfaces and some explanation. No reply yet.
I'd expect they're fully healed in a week or so with uniform growth balancing out. Appears they had been verti-cut or some other process to help.
Pricing in prime time weekends is set at flat $80 with the senior rate removed. Still a good value utilizing the troon card.

Played 8/12 mid-day fairly busy 9 holes just over two hours. Slower pace than I prefer. Still $16 to walk same value as two years ago. Not many courses have done this!
Couple areas of GUR on or around greens. The super did this intentionally to repair another spot. Healing nicely and has his full attention. Rest of putting surfaces nice. Fairways a bit dry and firm good roll out rough pretty much cut down most areas. Tee boxes good. Bunkers ok.
Had a bogey string going until the tough par 3 7th into the wind where we spoke to the greenskeeper.
Beer was cold sky was cloudless. Oddly mid-day the practice range and green left of first hole was deserted.
Nice walk on MGF; mandatory golf Friday.

Don't need to be wordy.
Played 8/7/2022 early with two gentlemen who were experiencing the course for the first time. All of us about (with-in 5 index points) the same age and abilities playing the white tees.
Second hole Tony #1 says "wow these tee boxes are shaggy" ((sarcastically) they're perfect).
Rough tough stuff penal mostly can still get a chance at a good lie to advance out.
Fairways great. Greens impeccable. Quick but fair in all circumstances. Best I've played all year.
Bunkers firm some machine work damp in some areas. Only course area rating below 9.5.
Two holes cart path only 5 and 11 a few other areas roped off from carts but all areas playable.
Consistently high level of facility and service(s). No need to go on. You need to play here!

Saturday 7/9 joined by Vince his 5th time ever playing golf. The white tees at 5400yds.
Steady progress to report; bringing the courses luster back.
Greens really nice putting fair a bit on the slower side. Consistent very few marks.
The bunkers are all fully done with the re-sand project. A hint of gray color and a bit wet to help settle it. Raked they are nice to play from.
A nice low pressure easy to play course in which errant shots are recoverable most times.
Great vibe here reasonable beer prices. No beverage cart easy bar service at the turn.

Played on Fathers Day this month.
Great weather early time. And as expected course conditions continue to improve. The quality of grass in the fairways and through the green is noticeably improved. Many of the bunkers have added sand making them much better. The greens are smooth and rolling medium speed.
Tee boxes are being leveled on some holes.
Fun fast POP round and home early to watch US Open.
