rude ambassador
The ambassador at Hole #1 was extremely unfriendly and rude. Our tee time was 6:20 AM, but without any call, they started another group at 6:05 AM for the 6:20 slot. When we arrived at 6:10 AM and said we were the 6:20 group, they yelled at us to hurry up and catch the group that left at 6:05. We skipped the 1st tee box and started playing from the 2nd hole, but we were already upset by this rude and illogical staff member. During check-in, another staff member kindly said they would call us, but it seems communication with that particular staff member is impossible. They probably have racist or sexist tendencies.
My last time playing here
Decided to call it quits after 11 holes already 3.5 hours in. Was on pace for a 5.5-6 hour round. Having a 7 minute tee time stagger allowing 5-somes is inexcusable. I will not be playing here ever again.
Good course layout
Overall, I'd say they're a little above average, and the course layout is quite good. The only minor point was that the pace of play was a bit slow.
Too Tough For Seniors
The golf course is just too long for Seniors. There are too many long Par 4/s, where I have no chance of reaching the green in two. The yardage on the scorecard does not reflect the length: it says 5900 (roughly) from the Red tees; it probably plays 6200 at least. No can do at my age.
Good Course, Pace and Challenge
The course was in good shape but the greens had not exactly been plugged but there were vertical lines on a lot of the greens that affected the roll of the ball. We finished in 4 hrs and 5 minutes. Enjoyed the long par 4s. There is no beverage cart on the course.
Catalina
The tee times were well managed, which helped things run smoothly
Good Course
Before I booked this course, I read the other reviews. They are very accurate. Fairways, bunkers, greens, and fringe areas are all good. Only issue is tee boxes are a bit chewed up. Also, it is a walking course, though can get hilly in some spots. I didn’t walk, but the 76 year old I played with did.
