Twilight

Twilight rate was a little high knowing that there was a good possibility that you don’t finish 18 holes.

The greens were in bad shape, the fairway was dry, not sure I’d play it again.

Far from a Nicklaus Course

I would have thought a course using the Nicklaus name would have been in better condition. I know it's winter, but you can tell that in season this course isn't all that much better. Most notably the greens, although fast, there were many that had bare spots and large areas of patched repair. Also, the perimeter of the majority of the holes were poorly maintained or not maintained at all. The layout was nice and definitely a challenge. I'm just not sure that if Jack were to visit this course with his name attached to it, it would put a smile on his face. I'll probably give the course one more chance when it's in-season just to see if the conditions improve.

Nice course, poor greens

Great course, love the layout and challenges from #2 tee box (7 handicapper) wish greens were in better shape, I played this course 5-6 times in February and like the course but the greens are in rough shape and you don’t get rewarded with good wedge shots or good putts because greens don’t have much grass and very sandy and bumpy.

Overall a great course and hope the greens come back when the nicer weather returns

That was very fun!

The wind was strong and it was a little cold at the beginning of 8:30.

However, it was a very fun course.

The difficulty of the course was high, and the green was also undulating and difficult.

I want to challenge again!

Golf

A fantastic course that is well maintained and staffed with plenty of helpful people. It was very busy and most groups were playing as five somes. I thought this would be a negative to a great day but it was very easy and kept the pace of play just right. Never have seen groups of five going off. The had so many tee times it was the best thing. Worked out great. Most impressive. The practice range is also very nice.

Confuzing

Walked the course and got lost three times. The layout and signage is for cart play only. When walking you are rarely where a cart will drive. From 3 to 4 you will miss the way to go. From 6 to 7 is the same. Finishing 15 I found myself on 7 tee again with no sign to 15.

Other than that there is water on almost every hole.

My rating included that I played winter conditions. I'm sure the. course is much better in the summer.

First round at Bay Point

The course is very well laid out. Challenging but very playable. The driving range is in rough shape. They had just top seeded the greens so they were very slow. I would play it again but not anytime soon.

Nice course, quick greens

Course is in good condition for winter, the greens are very fast, roll nice and true, several greens are in rough shape (seems like grass is dead or bare patches) this might be a winter issue as I haven’t played here in the winter before, those greens that are damaged still roll nicely and don’t effect the putts much.

Great course, will definitely play again
