Played this morning. Greens were pretty slick even though it was wet. Sand bunkerswere great. Unfortunately I know. Good overall course.

Typical muni course but in pretty fair shape. 100 degree day and the slow pace made it brutal at times. Not a great course but can be fun.

Rain and sun that has followed is speeding the course's recovery from "winter". Still...best drives rewarded with your next shot from a grass-less lie with a clump of grass behind your ball. Green... Continue »

Rock hard greens that are super quick. Everything else was very poor, fairways, and rough were very thin. Tee boxes were slopped and bare in many areas.
