Default Turtle Mound

It’s been a LONG time since we played Turtle Mound .

The first picture posted is hole #1 . I thought we would be in trouble after seeing this condition. The next couple of holes were not much better but then the condition changed dramatically to the better.

I do have to say that most of the greens were in good condition. They were all very slow.

Tee boxes were a mix of good and bad and the course , like many others, is extremely dry due to the current drought.

One comment about the course difficulty rating. They list it as a Level 1 ….. no way, IMHO !

Should be listed minimally as a Level 2 if not a Level 3. I base this mostly because there are many greens well guarded with traps….

Again , that’s my opinion. You are all free to rate it according to your own opinion.

Overall, I would rate the course a C + to a B -

PS- The sand that can be seen around each green is their attempt to improve the condition around the greens…
