LPGA International - Jones Course

Course has had major rain the last several weeks

Bunkers are washed out though some are being re-done

Fairways partially cut due to saturation

Rough is rough

Wait 2 weeks if we get no more rain so it can get help and dry out

Everything about the course and the amenities was good. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. One thing is needed, the Marshall should speed up slow players. I played in a threesome of very good golfers behind a foursome of older men who were extremely slow. We kept getting warnings of 8 to 10 minutes behind play on the golf cart, computer, but were helpless due to the foursome in front of us. We were not waved through by the foursome, nor did the Marshall appear to warn them of slow play or recommend we be allowed to play through. I was advised there was another group ahead of the foursome who obviously was playing slow also. The delay warnings in the cart are there for a reason, but they serve no purpose unless the players and the Marshall use them effectively.

The course is under water and really not playable. Especially the back 9. There should have been some notice it’s in that bad of shape. They should close until it drys out.

Not much interaction from the staff but couse amenities were great and the course was in great condition

I assumed that since the course has the LPGA name attached to it, it would be an exceptional course. Rather, I found the course to be very average in conditions. I also question the use of hills and second cut grass. On even the simplest holes, if you didn't land directly on the fairway and instead went into the second cut, your ball would almost be impossible to find because of the type of grass they use, which althoug a few inches tall, swallows the ball so you can't see it unless you are directly on it. Several holes also have hills along the fairway that make getting around the course difficult should you find yourself near one of the hills.

This course is beautiful in every respect. From the T-Boxes to the Greens, everything is in fantastic Shape.

The greens are still bumpy from an aeration a few weeks ago. The traps are unplayable for the most part. It goes from under water to mud to hard dirt to packed sand to fluffy sand in the same trap. Fortunately today only 1 maintenance guy mowing the tee boxes followed us around on a half a dozen holes. I’m told they are told not stop just because golfers are there. Oh don’t let the construction going on bother you, just turn up the music so you can’t hear them. It such a shame. I love the layout and it used to be the best around.
