Was a beautiful day to play golf today. Mid 80's with a slight breeze. Got what I thought was a great deal on Golf 18 for $21.00. Upon signing in, the pro asked if I'd play here before. I told him I had, but it had been since before they reworked the greens a few years ago. He informed me that they had lost some greens after that and had reworked the damaged greens and that they were "a little slow". What and understatement! All the greens were heavily sanded and most had aeration holes that had not fully recovered. A 10 foot putt required a long swing of the putter, which may or may not have gotten the ball to the hole. Extremely frustrating to say the least.

On a positive note, the fairways were great! Plenty of thick grass that gave a good feel for a crisply struck iron the tee boxes were good but many left you with an uneven stance.

Had I know the true condition of the greens in advance, I probably would have gone to another course
