Ya, the valley holes on both the front and back 9 had some water issues, but nothing bad enough to shut the holes down. One of the cart paths along the creek had weathered away from the water level, but it was all permanent greens and tee boxes.
The par 3 16th is the last hole in the valley area, but it seemed fine- in fact it was my best shot of the day. 160yd shot and I stuck an 8 iron to within 5 feet for an easy birdie. I wonder if it is the par 4 15th that you are referring to, as it had quite a bit of water. Once again, not all that bad, and we got a reduced green fee because of it.
All that said, they might have some serious issues in the coming weeks when the snow in the mountains really starts to melt- I am sure the course will be closing some holes then... Not to mention the mosquitos will be unbearable in a month or so- which is actually why we don't play whitefish lakes too much in the thick of mosquito season.
