C'mon - Update the distance markers

The value for the money is there. But some things should simply be there no matter how nice or how muni the course is. The sprinkler heads are not marked. The distance markers that do exist on the sides of fairways are so old that they can't be read. I mean all it takes is 3 round colored pieces of concrete at 100, 150 & 200 in the middle of the fairway to do the bare minimum. Of course many people use range finders but having the course marked (or replacing the largely useless/falling ones) is the least a course could do. Not expecting every sprinkler head to have a distance but it's really annoying the have to guess when you're not that familiar with the course.

Played our round in 3 1/2 hours. It was hot so the course was sparsely populated. The course was in good shape although a couple of greens had quite a few ball marks. This is a good open fairway course. Very enjoyable.
