Cheap trick

A crippled person wanted to ride around the course in a golf cart with a vacant seat. They charged her to do so.

You can do better for $65

Not a fan. Very few yardage indicators (first two holes had none) and carts have no GPS. Greens were shaggy, slow and grainy. Lots of dead spots on fairways. I'd go elsewhere for the same $.

Anything goes … I guess

Played shortly after they reopened after overseeding. The rule was NO carts on the fairways. Group in front of us was driving ALL OVER every fairway and they were still slow. We reported it but they didn’t do anything about it. Why post rules if you’re not going to enforce them? We follow the rules but others are exempt?
