I played Mallory on Friday in the afternoon wave which was 
and I played Tierra on Sunday where we got 9 holes before the skies opened up <need pouring rain icon>. My point being I have greater concerns with the weather around here over the past couple of winters than I do the playability of the courses.

The front nine on Tierra was fine and I will try again next Sunday. I am biased toward Tierra as it drives me nuts. I do not think I have ever had a "great" round there and I keep going back for more. IMO the slope and course rating of Tierra del Sol is low. If you think your game is in shape try Tierra from the gold tees for kicks. The course record (74) there is still 2 over the course rating (72.2/slope 122)! By contrast the back tees at Havana are rated about 74/slope 136 and the course records are 63, 66 and 68.
Mallory is my "home" course. At this time, let me say that Mallory goes toward the bottom of my request list.....
