Is Hacienda really better shape that Palmer? I have not played Palmer since December. I have some friends coming next week for a visit and Palmer is one course I always take folks. Last winter Palmer was immaculate.

Hacienda is in good shape overall, fairways nice, the rough is "rough" and some places marked GUR as they have no grass. I think they ran out of while paint .

I found the greens on Lakes better than on Palms. Palms were slower and bumpier (still OK). I believe this is caused by the aforementioned Poa seed heads.
