Rough Track Around The Edges

Too wet for an afternoon Tuesday on a links course. Not enough wind to keep the jet engine fuel you’ll inhale from Oakland Airport. I’m seasick

You’ll have to dodge all the geese and their poops everywhere including on greens…

I love the looks of this place but looks can be deceiving.

First played this course when it opened and over the years. Been about a decade since I’ve played here but it seemed the same just run down or eroded too much…

Sad days

3 hour front 9 and I left. The course is in the worst shape I’ve seen it. The greens are ok and the staff is friendly is about all I can give the place.
