I played there yesterday. Turfgrass (other than greens) was thicker and healthier looking than I remember it from last year, perhaps because NM has gotten a lot of rain this year. Grass was fairly high though in the fairway--not really firm nor fast. Towa, just down the road, which I also played yesterday was not in great shape either-lot of bare spots or over-watered spots, despite probably having a much bigger maintenance budget. Also, it was hard to get a tee to stick in their tee boxes and still have it high enough to be the appropriate height to tee a driver. Probably the local climate is not great for growing and maintaining grass, or else Towa's superintendent is not very good.
About 14 of the 18 greens on Black Mesa had brown lines and/or patches all over them, with several black spots with no grass. One of the 20ish year old Native Americans who man the pro shop said the issues with the greens were due to thatch, perhaps due to not aerating in the spring. They are scheduled to aerate this week, which he said he hoped would fix the issue after a while. I don't know enough about grass to know if that makes sense. The greens were slow as a result. (6 or 7 on the stimp I would guess, but that's just a guess)
Still I thought the conditions were ok for play and didn't really affect my score. I wouldn't take a non Kool-Aid drinking buddy out there this year though.
