Early morning four hour weekday round. The staff is always friendly and good at what they do. The carts are hanging in condition wise but aging. They do have basic GPS which is pretty accurate. There is no cell service in the hills where the course is located. The tee boxes were all in nice condition with a couple being slightly sloped and thin. They've finally figured out the right amount of water for the first tee as it had always been messy which was a nice way to start. The many forced carries were damp but did not have much water running through them. The rough is fairly thick but short enough to find your ball and easy to put a good swing on it. Total green grass coverage on all fairways with some dormant Bermuda popping through with the warmer weather. Great lies from start to finish. The traps are very well groomed but lack enough sand and are mostly damp compact with pebbles. Hitting from the traps is mixed depending on the one you find yourself in. The greens were in fantastic condition with total coverage. The green speed was slightly slower than usual this round but held shots extremely well in comparison to every other round here. They had put more water on most of the greens which was evident from the visible ball marks. Usually good approach shots would often times bounce through the green but not anymore. Hopefully it remains the same in the future. The course was in the best condition I've seen it in for many years. The weekday rack rates are a bit steep for the area but understandably with JC Resorts now managing the course. Worth a drive up the hill for a round once in awhile.
