Speargrass on Saturday and it is in absolutely immaculate condition. By far the best greens I've played on in this year. It's a tough too far of a drive to do frequently, but I can't stress enough how good of shape it's in. Pace was excellent too, zoomed around in 4 hours on Saturday afternoon. Windy like I've never played anywhere. #4 into a three club wind is a brute! Hit driver, 3 wood, 6 iron to the front edge. #5 lasered 165y to the stick, hit hybrid and barely made the front edge.
If it hadn't rained on Friday night, the course would have been unplayable. It was so windy, you couldn't keep a hat on your head. The ball was oscillating on the greens and the bit of moisture in them was the only thing that made them playable.
Played Valley Ridge today in a bit less wind than Saturday, but enough to give you fits. Course is in really good shape, greens not as nice as Speargrass. I can't understand how that course can justify the green fees. $83 for twilight for that course is such a ripoff.
