SCGA Golf Course

3.8

Played on Tuesday Dec. 11th 2007: From this round, I have uploaded several pictures for viewing this layout. I have rated the GREENS an "EAGLE" because they are in EXCELLENT condition very smooth. SPEED? They are so freaking FAST!!! I consider myself an excellent putter (AVG 1.8 per 18 holes). On THIS round, I had (5) holes where I (3) putted! Very discouraging when you have several birdie putts that turn into BOGEY putts because of the speed of the greens. :( This course has been used as a local qualifier for the PGA Tour & 2nd stage of Q-School. At this time, the fairways are in terrible shape, much needed rain (Jan-April) will help. Very nice practice facility, NO MATS, Grass tee boxes. The putting green (speed) is exactly what you'll find out on the course. The course was designed by Robert Trent Jones which is a very playable but challenging layout. The sand in the bunkers are nice & soft, nothing too deep. I feel the most demanding hole is # 12, IF you try to carry the water hazard, there is a hidden bunker from the tee box waiting for you. The PAR 5's have wide fairways while the PAR 3's are average length. The golf carts are brand new BUT no GPS system. However, the sprinklers are well marked as well as the yardage posts (200,150,100). Best to bring your laser guided units. OVERALL: A very nice layout with some rain on the way it should help out with the fairway conditions.
