Played today on Saturday 1/8 with mid-morning tee time. POP was around 4 1/2 hours to play 18. Haven't been here in awhile. It's a very challenging course.

First thing I noticed was that the number of stalls for driving range is small. I say around 20 - 25 stalls for a course that has 2 18 holes here. It was mats only this morning. Saw a sign that drivers were not allowed if you are hitting off driving mats. I understand it was recently re-opened about couple of months ago. If you want to hit balls before you tee off, you need to allow extra time to get a spot on the driving range.

Course is flat so you can walk. I noticed that the carts were different than before. There are using a geofence on some of the holes. So some holes were cart path only and cart path on par 3s. So if you don't follow the rules, the cart would lock up and you would have to put the cart in reverse to unlock the cart. Also the cart would lock up if you also get close to the greens.

The teeing area had rather good coverage. The fairways were decent for this time of year. Some areas were thin and dry, some had dirt patches but overall it was in good shape to play on. Water comes into play on one hole. On some other holes, you could possibly hit your ball OB into the flood control channel or onto the road that surrounds the course. The sand in the bunkers were hard packed at times and found that many bunkers were unraked. The greens were rather fast today. Balls would roll off the front/back of the greens. The greens have a lot of slope to it. On hole #12, the hole was shorter as they were using a temporary green in front of the regular green.

The restaurant is open and I saw there was a BBQ vendor also outside. Face masks were required to enter the clubhouse.
