Im sure others will have a more current update, but I played there a couple of months ago. Greens were fast and true. Rest of the course looked great! Bunkers were hit/miss due to rain.

Played last weekend.

Good shape. It’s pretty consistent. Only issue we had was it was pretty wet.

The issue I have there most is that they don’t seem to take care of the bunkers well enough. There is grass growing into some of them and typically some rocks in the sand.

This is a consistent trend down here. I wouldnt mind if courses around here had "grass bunkers"

Whenever you play somewhere that maintains and rakes the bottoms and slopes of a bunker the right way, it’s absolutely night and day.

The smooth side of the rake should be used on the slopes so that the ball rolls down into the bottom. I know that’s asking a lot.

Played yesterday. Greens are just about healed up from last punch. Should be perfect next week

Great shape. Only thing like others said is they could take care of the bunkers a little better

Played Saturday. Broken record, but only complaint is about the bunkers. A few had bad sand, but perhaps I should stop hitting into them. Rest of the course is beautiful right now.
