Fairways are not bad, just some brown spots and overall dry. Some of the tee boxes are especially dried out. Greens are not too bad for being aerated one week ago. Sand seems to have pretty much filled into the aeration holes, but I did find a couple of issues with green #6 and #9. Did not notice much bounce when putting. On #6 there is a small area heavy with sand over on the right side while on #9 green in the right front there are five patches of sod.

Rain certainly will help but at $9.50 for the round, no problem.

Basicly I agree with all spk wrote. The fairways are spotty and in my opinion mowed a little too close. They were mowing them and the rough this afternoon. Give the rough a chance to grow a little. The greens were really not that bad, certainly not as bad as Glenviews patchwork greens. They were aerated on the 17th and it appears to be working. Another week or so ans some good rain and it would be a pleasure to play.
