Played Friday afternoon. Overall course is in great condition. We got stuck behind a slow group. Luckily we were able to jump in front of them. Smooth sailing from there. Back to the course.... Teeboxes were okay, pretty level. Fairways were nice, some bare/dry spots but overall green. Roughs were okay... again forgiving. Traps were not fluffy. Greens were nice. Rolled pretty true. Overall, course is great and hope it keeps improving.

Went out today @10:30 as a twosome+one and finished under 4.5 hrs. Course is back to it's regular configuration with no temporary holes or rerouting. As munis go, I'd say this course is in nice shape right now. With a couple of exceptions (e.g. 10th whites and reds are sloped) most of the tee boxes are level with good coverage. Fairways are in good shape. Some do have strips of resodded areas crossing them where pipes were recently laid in underneath, but not a big problem. I ended up on a strip on one occasion and played it as ground under repair. The greens are much better than the last time I was here when is was lumpy and slow. They are smoothed out and rolled true with medium pace while still being soft/receptive to incoming shots. Bunkers were not fluffy (muni) but I thought they were generally well groomed, in good shape with firm but fair sand and no hard packed areas. It was warm, but not oppressively hot like last week. Good price, generally not tough to get on, and a decent pace. Good times.

Played Saturday early morning. Overall course is looking great and glad all the construction was completed. Teeboxes are nice. Fairways are in good condition. There are areas that are bare (from the construction and natural). Traps were good. Rough was forgiving. Greens were nice but slow. Nice upgrade!

Played today Saturday 6/14.. One of my favorite City courses.. got out at 6:36 am and finished in just under 4 1/2 hours.. The construction is complete and the fairways are as lush as of have seen them.. Tee boxes godd and the traps (at least on the front 9, since I spent so much time in them) were in good shape.. Soft sand.. The greens were on the slow side, really soft so they were holding shots.. Overall a good round..

All holes are open and the fairways are comming back. We were three players (two walking) and went off at 7:00 Thursday and never had anyone in front or behind us (3.5 hrs ).

Played on Friday 5/30/08, noon tee time w/TheBigDog, miguelgolf2007, & yoondaman316. First time playing with these GreensKeeper.org members. The course had every hole open and no major construction visible. Tee boxes were in average shape. Fairways in poor to average condition. There were lots of bare dirt areas on the fairways, especially where the new sprinker piping was installed. Off the fairway in the rough can be inconsistent, from bare dirt to patchy grass to 2"-3" high. Greens have a very spongy feeling when walking on them, approach shots land softly with deep pitch marks, but they are fairly smooth. Slow on the uphill, but very fast on the downhill putts. Pace of play was excellent as we completed our round in a little over 4 hours.

Well, I don't want to plagiarize, so I'll quote from my fellow GKer Nick about the greens, " Their greens had been aereated recently but were still VERY spungy and VERY SLOW! Bumpy would be an understatement."

I'm not quite sure if I saw any evidence of the greens being aerated, but the greens just felt so "spongy", felt like I was walking and putting on SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS. I'm not kidding....it seemed like I was just whacking the ball to get close to the hole. I couldn't find my easy tempo that I usually have when I'm putting because the lines would not hold. I had 4 to 6 footers where they would hold the line and others that would completely deviate from my intended target line. Overall, the course is in still undergoing some construction which is expected. The fairways seemed to be rolling fine with very minimal bare spots. Most of my lies I had were nice and lush, almost seemed like the ball was teed up for me. Bunkers which I happened to be in twice, seemed pretty consistent. I would rate the course at a 6.00, maybe once the construction is overwith they'll start rolling the greens to make them run smoother and faster.

Still alot of construction going on. 8th hole is closed. Greens still recovering from Ariation. Huge chipping pratice area. Should be a good play once the construction is done. As always with Muni's, ... Continue »

Still alot of construction going on. 8th hole is closed. Greens still recovering from Ariation. Huge chipping pratice area. Should be a good play once the construction is done. As always with Muni's, no one repairs the tee boxes or greens, so they are spotty at best.

First time playing here. Their greens had been aereated recently but were still VERY spungy and VERY SLOW! Bumpy would be an understatement. You could putt the same 5 footer multiple times and depending on which bump it hit, you could miss 2 inches left or 2 inches right of the hole with the same stroke/speed/line.

This might be a silly question, but does anyone fix a ball mark or rake a trap on a city course?

That was the bad.....

The good was that this could be a great little course with proper care and maintanence. Hole #8 is currently closed, so you have a front 8 and a back 10.........They have a temporary hole to make up for #8 being closed later in your round that is excellent by temp hole standards. While the fairways are generally some of the widest you will find anywhere, there are plenty of mature trees that will keep you in trouble if you stray too far. The overly soft greens held a pitch or full shot as well as you will see anywhere if you came in high, but you could still bump and run OK if you chose to come in low.
