I'm thinking about playing it this Sunday.....I know it is not the gem it used to be, but if anyone has played it recently can you give me an idea on the conditions?

Last I heard, fairways and greens were "decent" but bunkers were awful

Played it last weekend. I was happy with the conditions. Better than average greens and fairways.. bunkers not great but have seen them much worse.

Played 18 out there yesterday. I've been a regular at the bluffs for about 2 years, and this is the worst I have seen it. Tee boxes are essentially dirt and sand boxes. Fairways are ok, but recent rain has them really soggy. The majority of the greens are being overtaken with what appears to be goosegrass. Course needs a few weeks of warm dry weather and some TLC, and it'll be fine.

It's definitely better than it was a few years ago. Several of the greens are pretty bad, at least it seems they're trying to fix them. Most tee boxes are sand and dirt, some of them are good. Most fairways are decent enough, a little thin coming out of winter. Gonna play again later in the summer when the grass is growing.

Honestly they would be best off cutting out some temporary greens in the fairways with giant cups to keep all traffic off the greens. Webb did it and it worked.

Played today and was not impressed. The course is a shell of what it used to be. Had an 8:00am tee time and was the third car in the parking lot at 7:15. The clubhouse is now in the spot of the original location - next to the driving range. Range balls are not included anymore and are $5 for a bucket. Green fee this morning was $40 and I can see why after the round. Course drained well for the most part after all of the rain we had recently. Fairways are thin in most spots but were playable. The bunkers had grass growing in them and most had more pebbles than sand in them. Looks like they havent been worked in a while. The greens are in terrible condition right now. Most are so full of poa that putting is like playing plinko and others have more sand than grass on them. We were teeing off on 9 and some guy that works there said for us to take our time because we just let 13 members go off on 10 tee box. Needless to say I wont be back.
