The course is more playable than it was on my last visit (Labor Day last year). Conditions are still hit and miss. Greens were very soft — likely aerated recently. Several on the front 9 had major problems with little or no grass in spots. These were mostly the shady greens that get little sunlight — #3, #4, #7. This made putting very bumpy and unpredictable on those greens. The back 9 greens were better but I doubt they’ll get the few (#12 was another rough one) greens I mentioned back this season. There were a few other head-scratching maintenance issues — a giant patch of resodded fairway on #9 that was overgrown like rough but covered the left half of the fairway, unmown grass right next to the 16th green, and grass in the greenside bunker at #17. They are also doing work on #18 which has the cart path to the second fairway blocked — which requires a long detour by the 1st green to get around the lake. All in all, the course is playable now and you might have a good round if you avoid those issues. They are clearly putting some work into the course. However, right now it’s still overpriced. $34 for that late on a weekend afternoon was about $10 too high for those conditions.
