Sunday at San Juan Oaks

Course was in great condition. Greens rolled fast and true. Bunkers were in good shape (with actual sand in them and not hard pan). Some of the tee boxes could have been more level.

Still a hidden Gem for the area

I'll start off with saying this has been my favorite track over the years. However it's been 2-3 years since playing last. Fairways were great, greens were probably the best I've ever seen out there. And the bunkers that have been worked on are pristine. The bunkers still in need of work also looked pretty good. Pace of play is a little slow because it s a tough (but fair) and long course. Snack bar at the turn was open and very friendly. Staff inside were exceptional, including the gentlemen arranging the carts and range balls. I would suggest a starter be more positioned near the 1st tee to better coordinate tee times, but that's a small knock on an amazing day of golf.

great course bad etiquette

Sadly, whilst this tarck is superb and a real good test of your game.... it suffers from people cutting in and ruining the pace of play. Course marshalls needed.

Nice course

It’s probably been over 10 years since I last played here. Course was in overall good shape with a couple of patchy areas which can be expected for this time of year. Weather turned out great and I liked the course layout.
