Played mountain meadows this afternoon. Was just as good as i remember from last time i played.

Staff was great today. Lady checking us in was super sweet and accommodating for my 4th player running 10 min late.

Tee boxes were mostly evenish. Except for hole 9, all had lots of grass.

Fairways had very few dead spots. They were dry and really tight, but good overall.

Sand was okay. There was some sand in the traps, but not super fluffy.

Rough was nit kind to me, lost 5 balls that should have been found easily. All would ne within a couple yards of fairway, but would just disappear. They need to cut the rough down a bit so that i can find my ball.

Greens were nice. Not super fast, but very decent speed. Fewer pitch marks than i was expecting.

Pace of play was good. Right about 4 hours (4.5) including stop at the turn.

Will definitely play here again sometime soon. Really do love the layout of this course.

I played today with wsbell57 and colmcd. It was the first time here for all of us. As soon as we arrived we knew we were in for a very, VERY, long day. There were dozens of people just hanging around the clubhouse. They had run out of carts and everyone had to wait. We finally teed off 45 minutes late, at 1:45 pm. Conditions were mostly good. The fairways were completely lush. The tee boxes were in very good shape too. They were all flat though not all level. The rough was long in some places, short in others. The greens were not so impressive. I would have considered them in great shape but the ridiculous number of ball marks, leaves and the occasional pebble, made them bumpy and more than a bit frustrating. The layout was fun. There are a lot of doglegs, blind shots and elevation changes. Other holes were pretty straightforward, giving welcome relief after a more challenging hole. There are some nice city views on the back nine. POP was terrible- 5.5 hours. We waited on every hole for the group in front. The group behind us hit up on us many times, even after Bill asked them to stop as they nearly hit me and Kathy twice. I definitely want to play here again. Having some course knowledge will hopefully help me score better next time. I think I’ll only play on a weekday though, in hopes of a faster round.

Played Mountain Meadows with a good friend on 7/9. As a twosome, had an early morning tee time – 6:00 AM. Ugh! Don’t do a lot of these early morning tee times but my friend had some business to take care of after. No problem and off we went right on time. I walked but my friend rode and we still finished in 3 hours, waiting on no one and no one waiting on us. The course is very lush and green but most if not all is kikuyu. The fairways were cut down but still not much roll out. I hit what I thought were good drives only to find out I was hitting a mid to long iron for my 2nd shot. Tee boxes were in good shape and you could see they are over seeding certain areas. The rough was ridiculous IMO. Very tall and thick kikuyu. I know they are trying to make this a challenging course but c’mon, this was way too high. Yeah I know, keep it in the short stuff and you don’t have to worry about it but not many people do and to get penalized like this is unfortunate. Bunkers are very damp and un-kept but aren’t we used to that by now? The greens are in great shape. They hold nicely and roll just fine. Not real fast (unless downhill) but it was a treat to play on such nice greens. MM is a lot fun to play. Very nice layout with doglegs and many elevation changes but tough to walk unless you’re in shape (or a Billy goat). Especially on the back 9. We played the blues at 6,440 but it sure played longer. Still a great place to play. Don’t let my whining about the rough discourage you. Go play!

Sunday foursome at Mountain Meadows this past weekend. Got an online rate of $61 + cart through Golfnow.com, but when we arrived, there was an issue with them finding the reservation. Got it sorted out eventually but not after hearing many bad stories of them working with Golfnow.com - so why do they still do it? Anyway. Super fun track with lots of terrain variations, narrow holes, doglegs and just some plain fun ones. I always enjoy playing this course thanks to all of the unique holes here and some pretty cool views as well. The course is very green right now and holding up very well. Greens were in good shape but certainly not lightning fast with the exception of any of the well-sloped tiers - those tended to pick up speed pretty well. Not too many ball marks to contend with and the ball rolled pretty true and straight all day. No complaints there. Tee boxes were also in good shape and the fairways were very green and a pleasure to hit from for the most part. The occasional thin lie will be found, but for the most part it's in very good shape. There is also a lot of thick rough out there so finding your ball, even if you saw exactly where it ended up, can still be a challenge. I was also in many bunkers and their consistency varied throughout the day. Some were nice and fluffy-ish, while others were very thin and dicey. Adjust acordingly. If you're familiar with the course, know that the par 3 9th lake is currently drained and the entire pond is surrounded with yellow tape and considered GUR at present. I don't know how long this will be the case. But other than that, it all looks and plays very well. Small but useful and convenient driving range as well. Mountain Meadows gets a nice thumbs up for its present shape.

Played here for only my second time on Friday 6/26/20. This is really a great muni with all kinds of tough but fun holes. The par threes are all great and the lay out is not boring with doglegs, short holes, long holes, elevation changes, trees, and water hazards. I guess it has a little something for everyone. The conditions were a tick up from many other muni’s but many areas could use some TLC. Greens were great rolling semi fast and smooth. If you are not hitting your driver well then it can be a long day here. Consider playing the white tees for a more enjoyable round if the driver isn’t working........I certainly should have.....

Played Mountain Meadows yesterday with a 2:20 tee time. It's a county course so they're being strict with the whole mask thing and what not. The county is actually paying someone to sit by the pro shop and watch everyone in and around the driving range as I was hitting balls I removed my mask and she walked over and made me put it back on. It is what it is ....
After check in we had to wait for our carts as they were rotating them in and back out after people were finishing and only allowing 1 person per cart so we didn't tee off till about 2:45. Course was in decent shape throughout and you can definitely see where they neglected maintenance on the course. A lot overgrown areas and the bunkers were terrible. They actually have weeds and grass growing inside of them. We decided to use the GUR rule if we ended up in a bunker. Tee boxes weren't too bad although there were a few that were uneven. Fairways were nice overall and so were the greens. Greens were rolling pretty well although bumpy as it was late in the day and this track gets a lot of play. (PLEASE REPAIR BALL MARKS) I cannot understand why people are too lazy and or inconsiderate. I was repairing mine plus 5 on almost every green... infuriating! Anyways, it was a fun round of golf with my usual crew and we actually finished in less than 4.5 hrs surprisingly.
Guess we might be seeing these inconsistent conditions in the foreseeable future due to the economy and what not. I heard the county laid off 40+ golf course employees so I'm sure we will just have to make do. Just pleased to be able to be playing golf again.

Check in this morning was not to streamlined. I am sure they are working on processing
golfers as quickly as possible. Spreads between groups seem to be 20 mins, providing
plenty of safe spacing. Ground crew is still trying to hack down the rough and producing
large tufts of cut grass to hide balls in.
Forget any maintenance in bunkers. They look abandoned to the grass coming up thru what
sand is in them. Greens had many UNFIXED ball marks as if the bozos playing don't much
appreciate being back to the game I enjoy.
Ambassador seemed to be prowling about ostensibly checking space between groups. Thankfully, masks were not required on the course, but around the clubhouse you
better have it on!

Played yesterday the 11th. Driving range is open but the practice putting green is closed until further notice. Must wear Mask while using the driving range or being around the Pro shop area (pro shop was also off limits). Course is in very good shape except for the rough being a total nightmare. It was absolutely terrible, probably hasn't be cut for at least 6 to 8 weeks it was just to thick. If your ball went into the thick rough it was almost impossible to find but the good news is that the Couse was starting to cut the rough as we were playing so by next week it should be fine. Fairways were mowed very good and the greens were very nice to putt on. Bunkers were very hard and tough to get out of so we played the bunkers as "Waste Areas". Pace of play was a little slow. I guess with players losing their ball in the rough and trying to find it, it actually slowed down play a bit. Everyone had their own cart which was fine. I give this course condition a good 7 out of 10 being great except for the rough I give the rough a Zero. There you are "know before you go"

Out early walking in some rather breezy conditions. Not thrilled about the huge rate increase for seniors, but still a good deal, just not a great deal. Staff as usual was friendly and accommodating.

Andrew's review was on target, but I didn't have any issue with the greens, although you could certainly see they were recently punched. Maybe because I made a bunch of putts, they didn't bother me too much. Only in one bunker and it was well raked and had plenty of sand. Most of the fairways were decent, with the usual areas which were either bare or soggy.

I generally struggle with this course, particularly off the tee. No exception today, but when you make some putts, it sure "masks" poor ball striking
