Walked this afternoon here for $32. Pace of play was great; teed off at 12:40 with a riding twosome and we finished at about 4:00. Nice conditions overall with lots of turf and very few areas that were thin or dirt.

Greens: Some were showing signs of a previous aeration and had some discern-able slight bumpiness. This affected uphill putts with any break a lot, as balls would just make 90 degree turns if they were not hit firm. They were somewhat soft and held most any shot. There were very few ball marks to fix. Many of the lips around the cups were soft and not crisp, if that makes any sense.

Fairways and rough: Lots of good grass coverage. It definitely seemed well watered throughout the course. There were a couple of leaky sprinklers and those areas were very wet.

Tees: Some tees (we played the blues) were a little uneven. I recollect hole 16 was bad, 13 had a lot of sand all over the tee as well as being uneven. There were others. I believe the tees were recently aerated. It’s grown in but several times I had to make some effort to find a firm spot for my tee.

Sand: It looked nice and mostly were groomed. I hit from the bunker right side of Hole 10 and it was perfect sand.

Nice weather, good pace of play, and good company. For $32 walking, I will come back.
