I was so excited to go back to this course. We played it in early fall of 2023 and it was a fantastic experience. This was a different story, the course is nearly destroyed. It has been a wet spring and yes it was cart path only this time – but it looked like they lost their superintendent or something because it was in such horrendous condition and not even close to the previous experience.
Tee boxes were a muddy mess with the markers not being moved to dryer areas though easily could have been. The fairways were destroyed with deep cart tracks in the mud and super bad drainage. The greens were mostly in pretty rough shape other than a few of them. bunkers were rough with piles of new sand dropped on them but not raked out.
Disappointed as this was beautiful 9 months ago…

Interesting, I’ve played there just about every week this year and while wet, I’ve had none of the issues you described (granted I canceled my tee time last weekend because of the rain). I’m playing 9 after work tomorrow and 18 Saturday and am definitely interested to see what’s changed…especially with regards to the cart tracks comment because it’s basically been cart path only all year due to the rain. The greens had also actually been in great condition, and bunkers that were being filled were also marked as ground under repair. Hopefully things are much better after some dry/warm weather this week.
