I finally got around to playing this course on “my dollar” (see 9/22/16 review). The conditions were almost perfect, weather and course, but I don’t deal in superlatives, and gave it a “good” condition report. The only, slightly negative aspect was that the greens were very fast and slick,and didn’t hold approach shots very well (I assume due to the local drought that is extending beyond 30 days according to the local weather guessers). This is a challenging golf course, especially for us seniors who are losing driving distance. The 9th hole is particularly challenging in that, from the tee, one must carry the ditch some 170 yards away (All three of my group had trouble doing so). It does help that it is a Par 5, so one could lay up on the drive and still have a chance for par. The only other negative is a personal one for me – it is a good distance from my home, and morning traffic is atrocious. The course does make tee times for singles, so that helps – one doesn’t have to drive all that distance with a “hope” of getting on.
