Finally flags are planted in more reasonable spots on the green. The greens are curing well and playing smoothly.
Now if the tee boxes can be fixed to be somewhat flat...

Short and narrow, very enjoyable layout. Some inherent design problems like fairways to close to each other but that's natural due to the space available. A big fixable problem that's been persistent there is the hole locations-the person who places the flags very obviously doesn't care or doesn't play golf, placing flags right at the edge of a unstoppable slope down, and it's really unstoppable even when you're putting up from 10 feet, and putting down is an adventure.
I've seen good putters 4 putt in these greens all the time, which breaks the rhythm and crashes a fun round.
Unfortunately I don't think management cares because many have complained and not much has been done about that... Except one time they did move a flag in a par 3 because so many complained and it was just the second green.
