Fairways a little firm and fast. Tight lies. but overall I would say very good. Greens great. Yesterday greens at Lopez probably running around 10.

Played Glenview today...started on Tally which was a mistake. Rough only... fairways soaked and not mown. Made for a miserable round..... and btw.... were told of the restrictions after our money was accepted for play.

I'm relatively sure you could get back the money if you decided not to play based on that info. At least it was worth the ask.

We played Glenview (Fox Run and Stirrup Cup) and felt both courses were in excellent shape. Glenview is always one of the best kept courses here in my opinion.

I love Glenview in the winter - when all the other courses are dried riight up from lack of rain, Glenview has generally had great conditions, comparable to Palmer. But we played it this summer a couple of times, and due to the rainy summer, it was very very wet, lots of casual water, and basically very difficlt to play.

When we played Hacienda the other day we encountered the same thing as Kaydee mentioned - rough only, fairways soaked, etc. They said it was because they are overseeding the fairways. It could be they are doing the same at Glenview. This is the time of year for that maintenance procedure.

We did encounter a problem at Palmer over the summer. They had plugged the greens, and we had payed our money before we found out. We obviously didn't want to play there and pay the premium greens fees when the greens weren't pristine, so we asked for a raincheck, and they did give us one.
