I won’t be rushing back to play here any time soon. There are a lot of good deals going at this course (the Sunday deal on is great), so it’s tolerable if you get a really good price, but there are many better options in the area I’d rather play. I didn’t find any sand traps myself, but judging from what my playing partners encountered, they looked very thin and crunchy. The tee boxes were just as inconsistent as fairways. Pretty soft and receptive that early in the morning, but rolled smooth and pretty quick on putts. The greens looked a bit ugly, but played fine for the most part. The greens also seemed to have plenty of splotchy (diseased?) areas, though the impact there was more visually displeasing. There were plenty of bare spots and overall it just didn’t look very good out there. ![]() The fairways looked to be about 10 different grasses growing in all at once and no two lies seemed the same. On and around the greens, though, it’s pretty forgiving course. Most of the fairways slope left or right (most slope to right), so you have to be careful off the tee or you’ll end up in the treeline or down a hill into a neighboring fairway. It is not a bad layout and does have a number of fun holes. Though the price was decent for a holiday morning round, the course was in rough shape. The round overall took about 4:20 which is way too long when we’re the second group off. The group ahead was very slow for being the first out and we were waiting on them for most every shot. I was paired with a threesome and we were the second group off the tee behind a foursome. I got a decent “hot deal” price of $39 on GolfNow and figured I would check this course out. Wednesday morning, I hit the road super early on my way to a “dawn patrol” round at the Carmel Highland Resort in San Diego. I’ve been playing more and more in San Diego County throughout the past year and there are many great courses yet to play, so you’ll be seeing plenty of reviews in the coming months. With the 4th of July falling on a Wednesday, I only got one day off from work, but I wanted to make the most of it. With that in mind, there’s no time like the present. So needless to say, I’ve got a lot of work to do over these next six months. Coincidentally, that will take my overall total of courses played up over 250. ![]() Counting last weekend’s rounds down in North San Diego County, I have played 64 courses that I hadn’t played before! As I look ahead to the rest of 2012, I have set a little goal for myself. I enjoy the personal experiences at so many different courses and I’ve had a lot of fun sharing those experiences here on my little blog.Įarlier this week, I did a tally to see how many new courses I’ve played since last August and it’s pretty insane. I’ve been traveling a lot, sampling a lot of new courses and exploring as much as possible. It’s gotten even crazier since I started this blog in October. It was almost a year ago that I rediscovered my passion for the game of golf.
