I agree with Russ, that Havana plays short. When we left in May, Havana was in awful shape, dry and hard. I'm assuming with the rain this summer, that the courses are in good shape, but don't know because we are up north. Mallory is a good test - Amelia is the easiest of the 9's on that course. It too was hard and dry, but hopefully has softened up. Good luck, and let us know how you make out. Generally, we have found Glenview, Palmer and Tierra to be in good shape all year round. The newer courses south of 466 have been disappointing in the winter as far as conditions go, with the exception of palmer. I understand they have watering restrictions on the newer courses.
