Based on my last review, my previous visit to this course was back in March. My buddy and I went out today, 8/21 with a 4:50 start to see how it was going. Short answer: really not good. I'd describe it as dog track conditions but I think more highly of my dog than that. To start, all the tee boxes were roped off — presumably to heal but not much of that has happened yet — and tees were set together well forward. The lies there ranged from lumpy with uneven coverage to flat but bare dirt. As for the fairways, there are some sections with actual, playable grass, but there are extensive areas of dry, hard, tight lies, hardpan and bare sections. Ironically, there are even some random, long, thick, rough-like patches on some of the fairways. Bunkers were minimally groomed and the sand quality varied, leaning towards firm. Around the greens was a mashup of grass lengths from nice lies to deep and hack-worthy. The greens were OK, not particularly clean and ran about a medium speed. The course is in dire need of watering and we both agreed it almost had that look of having gone out of business. The usually grass range was mats today but the grass there is not in great shape. I was glad to use the mat for my short warmup. The pro shop woman was pleasant enough and the bar here always seems to be occupied by happy patrons. I can't recommend this course right now for even a practice round much less anything more serious. I like the layout and with decent conditioning it could be worth a visit, but for now stay away. I don't see myself even checking back here for at least six months and only after there has been enough rainfall to give it a chance at some rejuvenation. Tough to see.
