Apparently a lot of golfers have no idea about golf etiquette or just simply being polite and considerate.

I played with a partner today and followed a foursome around and it took over 4 hours to play 18. We were behind 2 other twosomes and NOBODY got past the foursome and when we finally caught up to them it was a fivesome. Maybe something can be said as people check in and get their key to the carts about being polite.

Asking too much? Don't think so. This is not the first time

we have been "stuck behind" slow playing groups.

The greens have always been a concern to me. They are getting better but there is still room for improvement. The water problem still exists. Holes 2, 9 & 18 stand out in my mind as problem with water holes in the fairways.

Hole #12 is the area surrounding the green that has a problem with water. The holes are payable you just need to be aware of the problem. The tee boxes need more attention - need to have more grass on them. All in all, we still had a fun day out on the golf course.

Very run down

Course was very rundown, had sprinklers going and half were busted. The course was already wet from prior days rain. Greens were in rough shape, second cut was more like light rough.

Still a problem with lack of grass on greens and tee boxes.

Few low spots in fairways but mostly dry and playable. Really enjoy dealing with the employees and the golf carts are better equipped than other courses. The carts may be older and are not electric but the design and configuration is very good. They seem to be working on it constantly so there is hope that it will get better.

The greens are pretty good but need trimming around them. Tee boxes are getting better with more grass on them. Thought should be given to putting water stations around on the course with paper cups and Igloo coolers full of ice water. As hot as it has been, that would be a welcome addition.

There is little or no grass on the tee boxes on many holes and the greens are vey bumpy. Grass needs to be mowed. Looks like it has been neglected a little too long. It needs help.

Absolutely zero maintenance, tee boxes are a joke, fairways are worse than most courses rough. Greens have weeds on them. Not worth it at all. Won’t be back

Dog track

It’s not an even good course it’s the worse course I’ve played. The tee boxes are trashed. The greens are not kept full of crab grass. Can’t make a 3 ft putt because of it. Pace of play is horrible. It took an hour to get to the 5th hole just to tee up. Will never step foot back here again

The fairways are still rough but the greens are improving. Now they have to work on Tee Boxes - they are terrible.

Slow play but it is Saturday and a lot of beginners were out accounting for the backups.
