Could be better

Played early Tuesday morning, I wasn’t aware that the Greens were punched. Fairways on a few holes were dirt ridden which left you with a horrible lie after hitting a good tee-shot.. sand traps are more like dirt traps. Landed in a sand trap and trying to get out of the sand trap was like digging into concrete.. won’t play here again.

Punched and temporary greens

Holes 10-18 were punched on Monday and they were “ok” but 1-9 was horrendous and literally playing on a beach with a few holes that had “temporary greens “ with the “hole” in the fairway

Current condition

GOLF NOW should show that greens are punched and sanded. Course using provisional greens on most holes. Avid playing here if this isn't acceptable to you

Disaster

The starter guy says they started punching some holes so we get a discount. Fine. Some holes will have temporary greens while they punch. Fine. The course made more revenue this year since the new management took over. Fine. Told us about how they just got a new greenskeeping crew and things should be getting better. Fine. The bunkers have been raked so they’re more playable. Fine.

Driving range not open until 1pm. Not fine. It used to be open in the old days. What happened?

The course is in horrendous shape. Do you know our local Victoria Links course? Notorious for having barely any grass? Montebello is now its cousin. Bare spots with no grass all over the course. Sure they were starting to punch - but these “temp greens” weren’t even in playable spots - they just put a hole and a flag so they can quickly punch and sand the real one and put the hole back once the punching was done onto the real green. So if you happened to come across one of these temp things you were out of luck from any kind of playability.

The bunkers ..... hahahahaa..... sure they “raked” them but they still had no sand. Just a little brushing done to them on the hard pan mud base, with a thin layer of dusty mud. Same old, same old.

You would have thought that if they had made more money this year even with the COVID they would have put sand in the bunkers.... nah.

And the fairway are dead. Especially hole 1. They had totally quit watering the entire fairway that it’s just hard caked mud. Just the saddest sight I’d seen in a long time.

The greens that hadn’t been punched had been destroyed. They needed punching. The ballmarks all over the place were unforgivable.

I do hope they fix this place. One of the more fun layouts that everybody loves. But for them to let the course get this bad while they took money from people and made revenue records - that’s just stealing.
