Default Havana (Kil-Ken), Glenview(Fox-Sti), Palmer (Lau-Ril), Hacienda (Pal-Lak)

The past four days (Sat – Tues) we had guests and played Havana (Kil-Ken), Glenview(Fox-Sti), Palmer (Lau-Ril), Hacienda (Pal-Lak). The weather was spectacular and all of the courses were in good shape. Was proud to show off my home courses THIS YEAR.

After we were done I asked them to rate the courses based solely on condition, not factoring cost or layout, greens being most important factor, then fairways, then general. It was unanimous:
  1. Palmer (greens are almost perfect, which means to me if you start a ball online it STAYS online)
  2. Glenview
  3. Havana
  4. Hacienda

IMO Havana greens looked great, but they barely lost to Glenview because they had recently been verticut and the mowers were being kept a bit high over the weekend.

PS. If we do not get some rain, these great conditions cannot last for long…..
