Will Robins Bummer
The will Robins group is a bummer here. He’s obviously in it for as much money as possible. The groups clog the course with his students day and night. Avoid weekend mornings and afternoons unless you want to play behind groups of 6.

Great Round
Staff friendly; course in great shape. Marshall was very engaging and kept pace of play moving at 4:10... if you haven’t played Empire Ranch - give it a shot - you won’t be disappointed!

Course was back up
The front nine took 2 hours and 45 minutes. When we got to number 10 there were three foursomes back on that tee. We finally had to skip three holes to get ahead the two foursomes that were ahead of us. There was a Marshal on site that must have been new, because it was a total disaster out there. When you pay $50 to play golf you should be able to play all the hole. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE STARTERS IN THE CLUB HOUSE, they could care less.

Bumpy greens
I believe they punched the greens a couple weeks ago and they just haven’t recovered yet. Will be nice once they roll the greens but today they were just bumpy and hard to hold a line.

Charging full price at 230p
Greens had recently been aerated and it was not disclosed and there was no reduction for the course condition.
But what really bothered me is I was still be charged for a full rate at 230p. I did not get to finish my round.
Just a little frustrating to pay full rate and not get full play.
