Disappointed in cart attendant service

There is a flight of steps that you have to climb with your clubs to get from the course to the parking lot level. A young cart attendant came out and wiped our clubs off. After we tipped him, he went back into the cart garage and sat down without offering to carry our clubs up the flight of steps. Disappointed in the service.

First Time Playing

Excellent, but…

First time here at the course. Got a great rate from GN and the course is gorgeous. It’s also got a solid amount of challenge as well as forgiveness for players. The only issue we had was that we were asked at one point to “speed it up”, that there were five groups behind us that we were holding up. My group was playing a scramble or best ball style and certainly not moving any slower than average. We basically skipped the hole we were on so that we stopped holding up this engined us. At that point on, we were waiting on groups in front of us and rarely saw a group behind us until the end. This isn’t a huge deal and I understand how this has to be handled. But we paid to enjoy a beautiful Saturday of golf like everyone else playing that day. It was not a rude or unreasonable ask, just unfortunate.
