2/3 using black Friday special $110 2some with 2 small buckets for play after 10. Check in very smooth and got to tee off right on time with some quality time spent with Tom the starter who is efficient and quite entertaining. We were to be paired with another 2some that was a no show so we followed a series of 4somes for a 430 POP which seemed slower as we waited on every shot. Group ahead seemed unusually slow as some of their actions were not well organized but they were essentially in position but hard to watch.
Fairways are healthy with thick tight turf with only a few thin lies. Quite a few divots mostly filled . Lies were good and there was ample cushion while being firm enough for extra roll. Rough tended to be lighter and only marginally penal along the fairways while being thicker and often clumpy near the greens leaving some very challenging shots depending on the lie.
Tees mostly level more on the thin side and often firm. Par 3s a liitle worn and the drop areas on 7 and 9 were well used and chewed up. Bunkers looked good but were often thin over a firm base unless the lie was on an up slope where the sand was deeper.
Greens are really good with healthy thick growth and well maintained. Receptive for full shots while quick for chips and pitches. Speed medium fast and smooth with more pace down hill. Greens are on the larger side and today pins were often tucked toward the perimeters. Some tricky breaks as topography is definitely an influence and not always easy to percieve.
Fum varied layout on an almost perfect SC winter day.
