Played today, 7 of us in two groups, 4some and 3some. Friendly game to celebrate the upcoming New Year. Course was in decent shape, most of the tee boxes were OK, with patchy grass. Most of the fairways were brown from the cold mornings we have been experiencing of late, too many unfilled divots, but ball ran well. The greens were nice, smooth, and quick. Not too many ball marks.

Down side - they would not give us the senior rate. We had an 8AM tee time, they said we had to TEE OFF by 8AM. Bummer! 19th hole was nice, friendly young waitress, extra tall Newcastle, good value.

The course is soft & moist due to all the rain. The greens are putting quite nicely however. Fairways are thin.

played today, 11/27. course is in fairly decent condition. the fairways are the only thing, grass is fairly thin, with a very soft, borderline muddy base underneath. i normally don't take much divot, but today i did as the result of the very soft turf. the greens are in decent shape, running about medium, and the sand traps are actually pretty nicely filled. pace of play was poor, and etiquette was also poor. if you hit onto another group's hole, let them hit their shots before running out into the middle of their fairway. lame.

Course is in generally nice condition. although very dry! Despite the fact there were not a lot of people playing, the pace was still well over 4 hours. (WHY?) Ever since they redesigned thi scourse ... Continue »

Course is in generally nice condition. although very dry! Despite the fact there were not a lot of people playing, the pace was still well over 4 hours. (WHY?) Ever since they redesigned thi scourse years ago, it continues to be one of my favorites.

Greens are much faster than they look & rolling very well.
Course is in pretty decent shape.

The greens have already healed from recent aeration, course in very good condition throughout. To the course management: When all the writing has worn off it might be time to replace the range balls.... Continue »

Rio Hondo is in decent condition and pretty easy play. The pace is relatively fast, especially during early twlight hours. The course isn't really worth the full rate, unless you want to find a course where you can finish a round in less than 4 hours. But a good value for the twlight hours.
