Bonita Pass OPENS
Bonita Pass opened yesterday (Thursday) after being closed for 7 months for repairs. We played today and happy to report GC is in GREAT shape...greens, fairways and tee boxes are all pristine...there's also a new bridge that was installed.

The greens nice, but some still have issues around the parts of the perimeter(i.e.: no grass or very skimpy grass with a black mold).

They did not overseed this year, and the grass is still dormant. In addition, the water quota was reduced last fall, so when the grass does start to grow, it will be slowly.

Not so....
they over seeded the tees and greens at all courses. The did not however over seed the fairways. The lack of water is not what caused some perimeter areas of some greens to lack grass and have black mold.

Actually, all the tees and greens were NOT overseeded.

Not trying to cause trouble...this is an honest question...
Do you mean some were and some were not? Or do you mean none were? |

Well if a person says that Bonita Passes were not over seeded(I played there twice in the past week)i'll take their word for it. As for the course supers they said all courses were overseeded with winter rye...but just the greens and tees. Since the greens were green at Bonita I assumed they were too. If not, I was wrong...no idea why they'd be green though since bermuda typically goes dormant during the winter months and with the shortage of water....well I guess I should pay closer attention next time I play Bonita eh?

I played it Sunday and it is in horrible condition. I can't imagine what they did during all those months it was closed.

We played Bonita Pass a few days ago. Considering the lack of rainfall, I thought it was okay to decent. It will get much better soon with rain... if it ever comes.

When I see greens with huge areas of dead grass it is not due to drought.
