Grass is dead, staff are clueless

Grass is dead (they’ll tell you it’s dormant but it’ll probably still be yellow come June), and pace of play is terrible. No ranger until the back 9 after all the hackers had left. You’re better off at just about any other course in the area if you’re looking for a sub 4 1/2 hour round or to have a single good lie all day. Would not recommend until maybe late summer or if they drop prices.

Conditions

I know the fairway grass is still dormant, but there were bare dirt spots in the fairways, where grass will never grow. Leaves & pods all over greens, if you didn’t clear your path 100%, you never got a true putt. Should have someone blow them once or twice a day. Tee boxes are beat up. Played with a woman whose red tees looked like they were placed haphazardly on dirt patches. Will try again when fairways grow in

Tee boxes in bad shape

Its early in the season so the Bermuda grass in the fairways is still dormant. That was understandable. The tee boxes were all in bad shape. The greens were slow. The sand traps were all in good shape. Just had the impression that maintenance is lacking. The layout is great. $50 was too high for the comditions

Beautiful Golf Course

I was pleasantly surprised at how nice this golf course is. The last I knew it was closed, whoever owes it now has spared no expense renovating it, it looks fantastic! Great job! My only complaint was the pace of play. But the restaurant there made up for that, again it was fantastic. Atmosphere, waitstaff and the food were all amazing! What a great day!

SDGC April 9 2026

Today it was Windy and Cold.

Fairways need more time, not good.

Putting Greens, very slow, need to be cut and rolled.

I will have to wait for about 1-2 months.

The facility is Excellent, best I have seen, Just need the course to catch up to it.

Good to play

Too early in the season to be critical:

Staff - friendly and offered accurate assessment of the current course conditions.

Fairways are still dormant from the winter so visually not green but the dormant white grass was very playable.

Greens were in good condition given the preseason conditions.

Not Ready for Spring Time Play

First time at course. We played from the Blues to get a little extra distance. Pretty easy course set up. Not much water or bunkers protecting greens. Major problem was the fairways. Grass was not grown in yet. Basically hit off of direct the entire time. Greens may have been recently aerated. Difficult to tell. Also greens were still wet at 11:30.

wet wipes

always hard to play when it's this wet, and cart path only. I just can't carry 4/5 clubs to ball in middle of fairway only to discover you picked wrong clubs for distance (not so much ,but lie is off) . No worries better than hitting in garage.

Rain rain rain

Great course! Great shape except some of the tee boxes.

It was obvious that with the rain they were unable to cut the greens or fairways in the last couple of days… rolled true though, but painfully slow.
