Mainland Golf Course

first impressions-staff not friendly at all. Carts dirty. We played in the morning, did not look like the had been wiped or cleaned. Course is tight, not great shape. Gets a lot of play. Bella Vista the sister course is nicer and staff is much nicer.

Never have I started on the first and been backed up right from the next shot all day long - there was never a spot where we didn’t have to wait on the group in front of us. I will partially blame them, because they were waiting for the group in front of them to clear almost every green before teeing off & not once did they even come close to reaching them, it was a bit ridiculous out there

As soon as I arrived at the course, a polite and friendly staff member greeted me and loaded the cart with my bag. I played in a foursome so we had two carts.

Pace of play initially was slow but picked up. One comment here is that golfers were not fixing their ball marks on the greens.

The Halfway Snack Stand opens at 9am but we got there by 8:30. You could get drinks or baked goods (muffins) that were available but the hot dogs weren’t ready.

Layout of the holes was a little confusing but a couple of the guys we played with knew when we had to crossover the street and at what holes.

We got done by 10:30 but again the restaurant wasn’t open (opened at 11am) so needed to find something local to get refreshments and food.

First time playing Mainland, we played the longest tees. Greens were in good shape, rough was burned out. Layout was only “ok”, with a few nice par 4’s, but too many short par 4’s and par 3’s were all too long at 185yds. Staff was ver friendly. Not sure I will go back just because I found the layout not too interesting.

A personal favorite so, perhaps I’m biased. Course as always, in beautiful shape, ball ran in fairways and greens were firm and fast. They had a golf cart circling with snacks and beverages at all times. What more can you ask for on a hot Sunday?

Pretty much everything was good except for the courts it look like they haven’t been cleaned in two weeks

MY ISSUE WITH THESE PEOPLE AT THIS TIME IS WITH THE DIFFICULTLY GETTING A TEE TIME. I'VE BEEN PLAYING THIS COURSE SINCE THE LATE '70'S WHEN IT WAS KNOWN AS TWIN LAKES. I AVERAGE 25-30 ROUNDS PER YEAR, SOMETIMES MORE. NOT TO MENTION ALL OF THE MONEY I HAVE SPENT IN THEIR VARIOUS RESTAURANTS OVER THE YEARS. OVER THE PAST FEW SEASONS I'VE BEEN GOING OUT AS A SINGLE THERE SINCE MY FRIENDS HAVE SINCE GIVEN UP THE GAME. I PURPOSELY LOOK FOR A TEE TIME THERE 02:00 PM OR LATER AND THEY HAVE ALWAYS PAIRED ME UP WITH EITHER A GROUP OF 3 OR 2 OR EVEN ANOTHER SINGLE. NOT THIS YEAR. EVERY TIME I CALL ALL I GET IS A RUDE, NO WAY, GO ELSEWHERE ATTITUDE FROM THEM. IS THIS ANY WAY TO TREAT A GOOD LOYAL LONG TIME CUSTOMER? I THINK NOT! THIS IS THE SAME ATTITUDE THAT COULD BE FOUND AT CENTER SQUARE BEFORE THEY WENT BAD. BRING BACK THE BETTER CUSTOMER SERVICE YOU ONCE HAD. DOES THIS ISSUE NEED TO BE TAKEN UP WITH ROSEANN LAPIO TO GET IMPROVEMENT?

THANK-YOU.

We ended up being a 2some, all the 4somes let us play through!!!

First time playing mainland, very nice course and user friendly. Had my best round!!
