Torres Blancas Golf Club

Couse is in good shape, staff very friendly.

I could do without the freeway noise but that's just the way it is on some of the house on front 9.

I will be playing this course many more times in the future.

Fun layout. Greens fuzzy and a bit bumpy, the rye grass didn't seem to come in fully. Seems course has given up on sand bunkers.

Played well on a perfect day in Green Valley. Very quiet for a Sunday. Had fun.

But that's where it ends. Hardpan when you get off them, greens are bumpy and grass is erratic on them, most bunkers have standing water despite having no rain and they are rock hard.

Just about every sand trap I looked at had water in it. Poor drainage. Could use some sand also. Fairways were in god condition, but a few greens could use a little work.

The day (temperature and light breeze) was perfect. There was no delay in play. Staff was courteous and our foursome had a great time. We finished with a cool drink and conversation at the outdoor patio.

My buddy and I were teamed up with another twosome who insisted on hitting 2-3 additional balls after they mis-hit their initial shots., which was about 50% of the time. In spite of this we still managed to keep pace for a 4 1/2 hour round.

The marshal came by and literally yelled at us for being slow; there was no one breathing down our necks. Dumbfounded we stopped at the shop at the turn and were told “we play 4 hours here, live with it.

On the back nine we were once again verbally accosted (not asked) to pick up the pace .

Marshal was extremely unfriendly and harangued us to play faster.

It was not an enjoyable experience at all and we will not go back.

BTW our round took 4 hours 15 minutes

Greens were a bit rough otherwise course in pretty good shape. Always amazed by the route between 9 and 10, you can get all turned around.
