Early golf on blustery day

PV East is a nice layout for most golfers. Big hitters need to be able to control their shots to stay out of trouble and most of us find the layout very playable. Greens are in good shape for so early -- nothing is growing yet. Only the traps need work but it's easy to understand why they've not yet been groomed for the season. Obvious the county (it's a municipal) spends money on the place.

Good value

Bunkers weren’t maintained but I guess it’s still considered off season so no big deal. Just could’ve used some rakes though

Early season golf

Group in front of us...4 guys, 4 carts and by the second hole was a par 5 behind, by the 9th-2 holes open....spoke to the staff and they put a spark under them-they ended a hole behind, not much the staff could have done.
