Here is my recent plays and opinions if it helps. I judge a course’s condition based heavily on the greens. Are they true? Bonus for speed…
Things can change so fast, I am not sure I would trust anything I saw in March.
No greens are fast right now that I played, by fast I mean Villages fast, say 9 or 10 (I need to make a stimp meter)
From Best to worst in my list: Mallory and Tierra, Glenview, Evans(this could move up), Lopez, Palmer, Bonifay
4/10 Lopez, Ashley to Torri
Playable, greens are just OK, Torri worse than Ashley, hats off to ‘hole setter’ for avoiding putting cups in bad sections.
4/8 Mallory, Virginia to Amelia
Consistently better than others this year, I felt they were getting a bit crusty (which I loved as they were faster), but hope it is not a warning
4/3 Tierra
Consistently better than others this year
4/1 Evans Prarie, Killdeer to Osprey
They looked ok, but hard to judge as the staff had proactively small hole aerated and sanded, would be interested how they are now
3/28 Palmer, Laurel to Riley
Worst year I can recall for Palmer. Hopefully they figure it out.
3/25 Glenview, Stirrup to Talley
Playable. Looked like Augusta after Bonifay
3/23 Bonifay, Destin to Ft Walton
Worst in TV. Almost un-puttable, looks like they tried the poke and sand method but it failed? Hopeful this has changed as I like their greens.
I have a guest coming next Monday. May be time for a road trip to sneak a peak at some random greens around dusk. I know, I know, trespassing
