a very good average course

Wasn't busy so the starter selected which of the 3 nines to use, the greens were good , the traps ok but not great, and they were in the process of cutting the fairways that had grown long with the rain last week . Clubhouse is undergoing some nice renovations which should take a few more weeks to complete . Overall a very nice average course to play .

Water everywhere

Today my wife, son and I played the pines and willows course at Ariss Valley. With no one in front and no one behind to keep pace with, we explored shot making and approaches. Greens were faster than usual for this early in the year, and they ran true, fairways are drying out and no plugging this round, getting some good roll.

The sun was shining and decent shots were rewarded so you can't ask for better.

Bring your own TP

You can get pretty far away from a bathroom on this course, and when you eventually come across that holy grail of an outhouse....the toilet paper is gone, and people have literally used the hand towels to wipe themselves. Good thing I didn't pay full price.

Great course but scheduling could be better

We teed off ay 7, first tee of the day. The course was amazing, great condition. But being there 9 holes when we hit the back we ran into a ton of people. All three 9s were backed up. 4 groups on each nine. The first 9 took under 2 hours, but the second 9 was substantially longer.

I guess it's a problem for three 9 courses, but still not fun to deal with.
