We last played this course in January and the course was in excellent condition. An A rating .

What a difference a couple of months has made . The maintenance budget for fertilizer and weed control must have run out !

Half of the greens were riddled with weeds, large enough and numerous enough to deflect a putt.

Tee boxes were also hit and miss, mostly miss. Granted , we are currently in a drought (officially or unofficially) and it looks like not enough irrigation water is being used on the course . (Probably due to restrictions)

On a positive note, it was a beautiful day to play golf and the 7 of us enjoyed a great lunch at Havana.

My opinionated rating for this course is from a C + to a B - (at best) .

We need rain badly !!!
