This is my favorite layout in town, but they have let me down again. I hadn’t been in over a year, but I love the course so I thought I’d give it another shot. So many issues:
Pace of play was an absurd 5 1/2 hours. No ranger on the course at all. Just backed up all day. There is no grass on a lot of the fringe/collar areas. The greens themselves were a bit slow, which I could forgive because most were in good shape. However, it must have been at least a weeks since they cut new holes! They were very overgrown around the cup. Also, they need to blow the pollen pods and leaves off the greens. There is no way they’ve done this in over a week either. I mean, this is a Saturday in the spring, and they can’t do the little things to make things run smoothly for the prices they’re charging? Just not worth the money to play here right now, which is a shame. Oh, and there was no beverage cart that day either.
