Ambiente

Course in good shape. Pace of play will always be 4hrs due to the amount of tee times. Not car path only which was a plus. You will pay a premium since it’s run by a resort.

Too close together

Grass is tough to play (either sticky or saturated), but green and looks great. Biggest complaint is pushing speed of play when the people in front of us were stacked up… not our fault but annoying putting golfers so close together.

Solid

Great from tee to green. Greens were just verticut but seem to roll true, just a touch more grain affecting putts than normal. Just so good though! Already looking to play Ambiente again next week.

General good playing conditions

Course was playing well; some tee boxes could use leveling; fairways and traps were in good shape; greens were very firm and somewhat slow. Pace was good, as was value. Starter/Ranger Rick was very cordial and truly appreciated the players visiting his course. Book a tee time soon as their rates will shortly ascend and become unaffordable.
