Slow pace, poor quality greens, staff non existent
Had to ride through three groups of people (one group of 6 which was inexplicable). There was no one on the course managing pace of play. Greens were aerated and a mess.
Okay
Greens are in rough shape. No beverage cart while playing. Nothing but a few snacks offered in the office. It’s ok if you don’t want to worry about getting a tee time, and just want to get some practice hitting the ball.
1. There are No hole sign with yardage. So you don’t track down how many hole you have been played? Then you’re lost. Make white to get rangefinder for this place because there are no yardage mark. You have to guess. For example) you don’t know you’re hitting par 5 or par 4. Obviously, you could easily identify par 3 HOWEVER, you have to guess the yardage for that par 3. There are no hole sign with yardage.
2. Confusing!!!! First they have foot golf hole with white flag middle of every hole. This is not dedicated golf corse. They are combined with foot golf. So I guess some season they are doing food golf???
And on the green. There are 2 flags all the time. One flag is for regular golfers. And other flag is for junior golfers. They are different color flag but still, every single hole has two flags. And one with jr. Flag has bigger sized putting hole for junior players. Yes, I guess it’s family friendly course. So!!! Every hole has 3 things going on. Food golf flag, junior player flag, and regular golf flag. Three thing combined into each hole.
3. Golf cart’s break doesn’t work well. They would need to maintain the golf cart better. Also, that 4 people riding cart on every website they have? The guy told me they only have one. So if someone is already riding it then you’re out of luck for that 4 people golf cart.
4. The course are built inside the condo. So you re playing condo that people live. So if you don’t careful. You could break the window or disturb people who actually live there.
Thanks!
