Default course conditions

have played Belle Glade, Glenview and Cane Garden recently…none compare to the overall quality of Hacienda Hills…greens, rough just right and raked sand traps…

They are punching the greens this summer. Each of the championship courses will be punched (aerification) once a month for three months. It takes about 3 weeks or more for the greens to recover so you might want to check the aerification schedule before playing. That said, I have played on Hacienda Hills more than any other championship course and enjoy it, but it plays more like a parkland course to me which I like. Glenview on the other hand, is more of a true championship course. An extra back tee (tips), bunkers everywhere, and difficult pin positions.

Recently played Havana twice. Very poor conditions, lots of weeds, unkept areas, burned out areas, holes in the fairways and rough that jolt your cart. The worse Championship golf course by far imo.

Sorry to hear this. Hopefully they will get their act together.
