Great Day
Was very pleased with how well the course played today. The greens were soft and held up very well. In the past the greens have been hard so your ball would hit and release, today you had to change your game or mindset and throw the ball at the pin. The tee boxes were being reseeded was the only drawback, but in a couple weeks it should be back to normal.

Get more carts!
The only real issue was not having a cart... even for someone with a medical issue. I only made it nine holes, and barely.

Better 2 weeks ago
They had just punched with small holes. The greens were therefore very soft, and overwatered. Two weeks ago they were in really nice shape, and now it’s like mush.
Some of the fairway areas still need work. Usually it’s been the other way around, where Balboa is in better shape than Encino, but lately Encino has been nicer. On Balboa there are still lots of bare dirt brown hard mud patches all over, whereas they have put in the work to fix more of those on Encino. So I’m only giving it average ratings. Disappointed about the greens on Balboa when it’s always been better than Encino but now it’s flipped.

Awful course
The course had no carts, or push carts and forced all customers to walk in 110 degree heat and I almost got heat stroke, never playing this course again.
