Not today but played the Sueno Pines course yesterday. 8am tee and the course was pretty much empty bar a few groups of Germans (who kindly let me play through on 12 and 14.)
Temperature by 9am was pushing 40 (well 39) and so thankful I had a buggy.
Course is really nice and well kept considering the heat. First tee shot off the whites is tighter than a gnats chuff but mamaged to squeeze a decent drive along the treeline and into the middle of the fairway.
A respectable +4 front nine, which inluded a lost ball on just the second (watery grave - but salvaged a 5). Back nine I seemed to get a rhythm going and +3 for that stretch.
For a long course I will happily walk off +7 and not with the bruising that I expected especially with all the water and two island greens on 9 and 18.
Very hot but enjoyable. And the guy about snakes was right, saw a red and black one in the bushes off the 11th tee but apparently just a type of grass snake and relatively harmless. Luckily was only in the trees once on the par 5 15th with a wayward second.
Only things were the fairways had not a flat bit on them, like Mach dunes, and the big (and I mean huge, four winged, Red and black) hornets buzzing around evrey green. Putted quicker than I would have normally on a few greens.
