My group played OBH twice over the past couple weeks, and its condition was pretty good. Green speeds on the front nine were like lightening, and pin placements overall were extremely difficult. If you were putting from above the hole, you had no chance to stop the ball unless the hole got in the way. But I like the layout and had two enjoyable rounds. We played Tierra last week and found it to be pretty much the same as before its "haircut". Funny, but we played it the Friday before they closed it, and I thought it was in great condition then, especially the greens. On Friday we played Hacienda Hills, and the conditions were very good. Fairways in particular are lush and soft. Greens generally in pretty good condition with reasonable speed. I guess I must be easy to please.
