Got out to Dos Lagos this past Saturday with my monthly golf group with a 7am tee time, three groups and a frost warning. It was biting cold the first 4-5 holes but then the sun peeked over the mountains and things warmed up nicely. We play from the white tees each time out and this round was no different.

I always enjoy the fun challenge at Dos Lagos immensely. It starts with some tricky, narrow holes and target golf, ends the front nine with a drivable par 4, then gets into some simple parkland holes and winds up in the mountains with drastic elevation changes until 18 which bends around a big lake and challenges you to get there in two. Super fun layout that I enjoy more and more with each visit.

Conditions varied a lot due to the extreme weather fluctuations so take all this with a grain of salt. Greens were the best part of the course but changed speeds a lot throughout the day, but coverage was good and they held shots well. Fairways had a lot of lush areas, but also some very thin spots as well. Rough could be just about anything depending on where your ball landed. Tee boxes were also a mixed bag with some very shaggy, some fine and others a little on the sparse side, while the same could be said about the bunkers but a lot of them that I saw were still recovering from all the recent rains.

No cart service was a bit of a downer and of course this course does not have a driving range so there's not a lot of reason to get there much earlier than your tee time, but it's still worth the drive and I will always look forward to coming back and challenging myself here.
