Great day of golf

Got teamed up with one of the marshals. What a great guy. The greens are getting a little rough. I hope they get control of the fungus that is killing the greens.

Horrible

As far as price, it’s great. The pace of play and non-professional staff members make it very difficult to want to go back to play at this course. The staff caters to certain individuals and totally turn their noses up at everyone else. Like I said, if it wasn’t such a great price per round, I would have 86’d this course along time ago.

Slow players will not allow faster players to play thru. Marshals should be riding around telling slow players to pick up the pace.

DON’T USE A CREDIT CARD

So the course is actually fine, especially for the value of your teatime. However, do not use a card in the clubhouse. About two months back I used a card there in my last purchase was in the clubhouse, then my card was used for multiple online purchases worth hundreds of dollars. I didn’t think anything of it, although I was suspicious. I went back yesterday, and of course, late last night, my card was attempted for more fraud purchases in the middle of the night. They either have a scanning machine on the credit card or employees are using customers numbers. I called to speak with someone but was blown off & never received a call back. Be careful.

Fun use-friendly course

Loved this course. Not too difficult, but enough sand and water to keep your attention. I happily recommend this course to others
