Had fun out here yesterday with JohnnyGK, kevbig and rob1563. We teed off at 7:50. It was a great clear day for pictures, but it was rather chilly and extremely windy. That made a demanding course even more difficult and it eventually wiped all of us out. Nobody in front of us or behind us, so we enjoyed a nice relaxed pace of a little over 4 hours.
As Kevin described, the conditions overall were very nice. The tee boxes were generally great. There were a few of the whites where the over-seed didn’t seem to come in as well, but never had a problem finding a fine spot to tee it up. The fairways were excellent. Deep green with perfectly fluffy lies all day. The rough is kept dormant and it was shaved down to almost nothing in most places. Some rough sections provided reasonable lies while others were just way too firm and thin. Bunkers were excellent. Greens were also great. They were firm, yet receptive enough and rolling well at fairly quick speeds (especially wind-assisted putts).
I always enjoy any visit to Rio Secco and this one was no exception, especially when playing with a fun GK Guru group. The cold wind gusts certainly made things interesting, but the course is so enjoyable. As always, the staff was fantastic and the facilities are great, so it’s definitely worth a high recommendation.
