I play this course weekly. Is it plush? No. It's a muni. Over the last year there have been significant improvements. The bunkers need to be better churned as they can be hard pan or just an inch down you'll find hard pan. Off the fairway and your ball could be in scruffy grass (not long grass/rough) or a dirt patch on a number of holes. Greens are in excellent condition, but in a week will be punched. The course will be a challenge if you stray. Houses "only" on 4th hole. Pace of play early a.m. good but can be tougher at later start times. That's not a knock on the course as with most courses that's the case on weekends. As a single, your chances of getting assigned to another group is good and most people are decent (or has been my experience). As I said, every weekend for the last 10-years. I've seen the ups and downs and still come back. Friendly service by all supporting the course.

This is a city owned public course. Keeping in mind the current drought conditions, it does provide value (particularly if you are a resident) and a good challenge. Is it the best looking when the fairways are brown (after the winter a.m. freezes)? No, however in the late spring, summer months the course turns green as you would expect. Part of the challenge is the need to keep the ball on the fairway. You could be off just a foot or two whereby the rough is penalty enough (and it's not "green, long grass rough". It's scruffy grass, it's dirt/sand, it's enough you are highly penalized. They've recently added DG as well as mulch throughout the course which in my opinion has helped the course. Over the last year, there have been significant improvements and despite any negative comments, the course (again city) is moving in the right direction.
