No carts

Tee time for 1:57. Checked in at 1:30 no carts. The 1:31 tee time still had no cart plus all the other tee times before us. Waited until 2:05 still had no cart and times ahead still were waiting as well.

At this point with back up happening we had no chance to finish.

This is a regular occurrence at this course… I would say they just need to hire some staff but management has no idea how to run a golf course.

I am a Long time customer who plays at bent creek very often through the frustrations but I will not even attempt to do so anymore until the management staff get a grip on how to manage the course.
