That place had gotten so bad that my group just stopped going there altogether. I'm not here May-September, but the guys told me that over the summer the conditions improved dramatically.
We played it a few times in the autumn and it wasn't bad. It was way better than I had ever seen it.
I haven't been on it since before Christmas.
I can't figure out why some of the championship courses are in decent shape even through the winter months, and some are terrible. I'm hearing from multiple sources that Palmer is a mess. We played Laurel Valley when it first reopened and it was good, but I'm hearing it's awful right now.
I could blame the season's combination of poor growing conditions and overplay, but why some courses are much better than others is a complete mystery. Same climate, same amount of play. Totally different conditions.
Mystifying.
