Topic starter   [#2815]

Played 11/5, first time after the renovations.  course in really good shape.  tees and fairways some over seeding as is case this time of year.  greens rolling true. renovations have redefined look of holes especially the bunkering being redefined. 6 sets of tees make it playable for all.  played white tees. Start of with easier holes for 1 and 2.  3 thru 6 are meaty.  3 (400yds par 4)and 4 (500yd par 5) fairways interrupted by waste area. #5 135-160 par 3 with water all up the left side all the way to and including the green with heavy bunkering on right. #6 is 405yd par 4 with water on left side starting at tee box to about 100yds out.  Left side is woods/lateral hazard.  this is 2 hole green sharing with the 17th hole par 3.  after that course is not easier but playable.  on back other than #12 175-200yd par 3 and #16 420yd par 4 holes are forgiving.  Staff always pleasant from bag drop to bartenders.  totally renovated pro shop and bar/grille area looked really nice.  plenty HDTV around horseshoe bar and in dining room.  Added a couple of golf simulators for rent.  Putting/chipping green and grass tee range available.

good take that i always enjoy playing.

 

fyi unique in that 9 does not go back to clubhouse so NO double teeing.

they have always had beverage cart on course when i have played and they added a food truck which sits in middle of 6th/17th/9th greens and 7th tee. with beverages and snacks.

Thanks for all the reports.  I like Avocet and have always enjoyed good customer service inside the clubhouse and from the starters.

Sounds like you caught the course at a great time right after the reno—greens already rolling true and the new bunkering giving the holes a fresh look without turning them into pure punishment. Those “meaty” middle holes (especially that watery 5 and the shared green with 17) always keep you honest, but it’s nice to hear the rest of the track stays playable once you survive that stretch. Six sets of tees plus no double-teeing on 9 is pure gold for pace of play.

Although #9 does not return to the clubhouse, if only playing 9, all you 
need to do get to the clubhouse is play or ride #18.
