Got out yesterday morning for a warm and windy, but playable round at Sierra Lakes. I was a guest at a tournament with a bunch of retired guys who were all great.

The course is in excellent shape after the recent punching of the greens. Everything has healed up and is ready for play. The greens were sneaky fast and rolled very true. My group played the white tees which was nice, except a lot of the tee boxes were all grouped together actually playing forward. Not sure why, maybe because of the high winds to keep a better pace. Tee boxes were in great shape. The fairways were also in really nice shape and tee shots hit low would run out a fair distance. There were some really tight lies around the green that made you think about using that putter from distance. The rough was cut low which made it much easier to play in the wind. There were a few bare spots in the rough, but all in all in good shape as well. I was only in one fairway bunker which was in good condition. I didn't really pay a lot of attention to the greenside bunkers, but they looked very playable to me. We did not see a beverage cart all day, but the service at SL is always good. The only minor complaint is that the kitchen was closed at 3pm and there were only junk food snacks available by the time we finished our round. All in all, it was a great day at windy Sierra Lakes. Looking forward to getting out there again soon.
