Just played a round at this course today. Firm and fast! I used hickories and was easily getting 40 yards of roll on my tee shots. They seemed to elect to only water the greens. So, the fairways were baked out and the greens were really, really soft. That dynamic wasn't the worst, however- as it allowed either a run up shot or a shot that would hold. I guess they need to make sure they keep the green alive. For such soft greens, I was truly amazed at the lack of pitch marks. Either their clientele really respects the course, or they don't hit many greens in reg.
The shrunken greens definitely caught my eye. Based on the shapes of the green complexes, it appears fairly obvious where the original green boundaries are. The course would be much improved if they could restore those.
Overall, it was really enjoyable. The place was hopping on a Wednesday afternoon, but luckily we played the back first to avoid the "outing", which consisted of three 6-somes in a row. The pond on #4 is definitely an unfortunate addition to the course. I found out that it existed the hard way.
It is easy to daydream about giving this course the Lawsonia makeover.
