Went out on Thursday 11/13, joining a twosome and another single, they all played blue I chose whites. Working backwards, the greens were in pretty decent shape, ran the quicker side of medium, were pretty clean and took deep pitch marks. Surrounds were mostly good for short game. Bunkers were not particularly smooth but the sand was good enough. The rough here varies but is not usually punitive where there is grass. Teeing grounds generally had good coverage and were reasonably level — no issues there. Saved the fairways for last because they deserve more explanation. A little bit of recent rain has them looking a bit greener and while the majority of the surface is suitably playable with decent lies, there are thin areas throughout to the point you may occasionally bump your ball over to a fairway-worthy lie. The flip side of the rain is that some of the bare or thinly grassed areas were moist and made for sticky ground contact and I hit one. In the same vein, I also noted numerous spots, mostly in rough but on some fairways, where carts went through soft/muddy patches leaving short stretches of deep tire tracks. Inventorying these anomalies aside, I generally enjoyed the predominantly playable fairways. But, know before you go, eh? Pace was good at just about 4.5 hrs and, with little waiting during the round, it seemed to move well. Overall, it was good enough that I could overlook the deficiencies and enjoy my round. With the volume of precipitation were are currently getting, I am hoping the fairways will bounce back from the summer with improving coverage.
