Bad course layout and bad signage

If you haven't played this course before it is really a challenge. It seems 60% of your shots are blind shots where you can't see the ball land and it becomes difficult to find your ball. Also, many of the signage for the holes is gone or graffitied, so I accidentally played the wrong hole. Also, on the first tee I was playing down the wrong fairway because the layout

Saturday @ Cherry Island

Cherry Island is a good public course that is maintained well for the amount of play. We are a foursome and play weekly around Sacramento. Although Cherry Island is not near any of us, we get out there a couple times each year. It was a great day for golf, good weather and we got off in time. Only drawback the whole day was the threesome ahead of us thought they were on the PGA Tour and waited forever to tee off each hole. So we were on the tee with them on nearly every hole.

9/8/23 horrible condition

This course is either in really good shape or horrible shape. Right now all greens are pinched and sanded, fairways and first cut are horrible. I would give a few weeks before playing again.

Cherry Island

Always a fun layout and was in good shape. Pace was slow due to a 4some that had no concern for anyone else on the course.

Staff was great.

Greens too soft

The greens are too soft. Every approach shots would make large and deep divots. Because of the soft greens, shoe marks would leave many indentations. Make the greens firm and fast please. Also, the tee boxes will need lots of help.
