Played Hacienda Hills Friday and found course to be in pretty good shape considering our drought conditions. Several greens had some brown spots but not too bad. Greens were slow' maybe not cutting them as short due to lack of rain.

Played Mallory Sunday and it is very much improved from 2-3 weeks ago. Greens are in very good condition. One green has some areas that appear to have been a leak in the mowing equipment but not a major issue. Still not a lot of rough but the rain we are getting should help.

Glenview
 
Played Glenview this morning. First two holes were modified to par 3's because of heavy ponding at front end of fairway. Should be back to normal sometime this week according to ambassador. Call first

Greens - horrible - recent airation and sand made direction and distance an adventure

Fairways - generally good

All water hazards flooded and bigger than usual

Playing a round in well under 4 hours with no one in front of you or behind you....priceless

Played Palmer today and the greens were terrible; burned to crisp and hard as a rock. Hard to believe with all the rain we have been lucky enough to receive that the greens could be in this bad of condition. Must be something other than lack of water causing this. Riley Grove greens were the worst I have seen here since I have been here.

Played Cane Garden today and was pleasantly surprised with the great condition the entire course was in. Greens were excellent but much slower than the burnt out greens at Palmer and Havana.

Played Palmer Laural Valley / Riley Grove yesterday greens are still in poor condition. Perhaps a couple of weeks away from back to near where they should be they have been working on them alot. Fairways are in great condition.

Cane Garden is perhaps the best shape that I have ever seen it.

The Championship 5:30 all you can play for $5.00 is getting alot of play. Play is slow as I think that many that don't normally play the Championship Courses are taking advantage of the $5.00 rate. I understand that this was to be a June only thing but with the play it has gotten perhaps they will extend it. Also needs to be noted that there are no rain checks and no computer tee times.

I agree - played Cane last week, and it was terrific. Played Lopez as well, and have to say was disappointed. Fairways were good, but greens on Torri were awful. I've heard Mallory is good as well. How are conditions at Tierra, anyone play there lately?

RCT 06-30-2009 04:46 PM

Cane is beautiful right now for sure, Mallory also close to that. Taz, played Tierra, and is playing a 7.5 out of 10, I'd say. Haven't been to Palmer, and won't until I hear the greens are back to where they usually are. Playing Havana tomorrow, hopefully. Will report on that then. Sorry, haven't been contributing to the thread that I started much lately. Was away, then haven't been playing too much recently. Will be back to normal after the 4th with my take on the courses more.

Is Rick Smith still there, Fumar?

Played Mallory this afternoon in the rain and I have to admit that the course is in very good condition. Greens are the best I have seen there(Mallory) in a while. A couple blothes on some but all in all very good. Play Cane Garden Thursday and Glenview Friday.

RCT 07-03-2009 01:24 PM

Played Havana on Tuesday, is in very nice shape. Best I have seen it in the year i have lived here.
