Really sorry to report that the newly renovated Lakes 9 at Hacienda Hills is in awful shape. I am not sure what the reason is for the extremely poor conditions. Very sparse grass in the fairways and the greens are terrible. When you stand on the #1 green of The Lakes and look over to the #1 green of The Oaks (which connect to each other) you can actually see where the decent green of The Oaks ends and the terrible green of The Lakes begins. Today we played the Palms 9 first which was in nice shape, then to the awful renovated Lakes. I am not sure what the excuse will be but the summer weather has been fantastic for growing grass. With all the rain my yard and shrubs have flourished with very little watering on my part. Should be embarrassing to the Golf Division to call this a renovation. I hope their "renovation" of Orange Blossom Hills is superior to this.
