I've already booked a tee time for this coming Tuesday :)

Dear thierrykoblentz,

Thank you so much for your review! Things have certainly been crazy during the COVID era with business levels 200%+ of what they were just a year ago. That has created more golfers and at times more pace challenges to manage. Although we are certainly doing our best to manage pace through these times. Come see us again soon and we look forward to having you as a continued guest! It is very much appreciated.

Have a great day

Will Foust

Dear bolt65,

I really appreciate you bringing up these concerning issues to us. Please feel free to reach out to myself Will Foust (Director of Golf) to discuss these concerns personally at 530.979.6713. We will make this up to you as clearly your experience was well below our standard.

I'd like to try and address some of these concerns, but by no means make any excuses. I also think a lengthy response is necessary as there is a lot to address.

As it relates to the course conditions, play is about 150% of what it was a year ago and in November it was 200% of what it normally is. Paired with irregular precipitation and now a dry period, it has been a challenging year to not only keep irrigation levels correct, but also keep the levels of salt and contaminants from the irrigation from building up in the soils. Bottom line is with rounds way up and no precipitation, we have certainly had a challenge in 2020. Cart traffic doubling and no precip is hard to overcome. We are also in the process of replacing part of our irrigation mainline in early 2021 which will help us eliminate some of the contaminants in the soil and keep a consistent turf condition throughout the entire golf course. We have had a few days where we are on the wet side, but this is a direct result of the above issues. Course conditions for a public course like ours with the amount of play we've had is still above par. Although with the year we've had, it is a noticeably different par.

As for the sanded greens, the shop should have been able to get a better answer. Moving forward so you know, we do a light topdress every Monday morning to keep the consistency of the greens throughout the week. This has been a practice for several years and apologize that we did not make this apparent.

Regarding the 30 minute delay, there isn't much we can do with that as frost delays are common this time of year. We try our best to communicate ahead of time, but frost is very hard to predict and delay times are almost impossible to predict. We always do our best to get golfers back on time as quick as possible.

We will also address the cart path only holes. I know our starter communicates this to every group and signs are out there every morning when I drive the course, but we may have missed the day you played for some reason. This will be looked at and addressed.

Again we appreciate your time letting us know about your experience. I will be available for a call whenever you'd like to discuss further.

Director of Golf

Dear thevas,

Thank you for your review and for playing our facility! We are looking forward to having you as a guest in the near future. Let us know what we can do to make your next visit a 5 star visit.

Thanks and have a great day!
Will Foust, Director of Golf

Thank you for your review, and for your comments! The rough can get a little long this time of year due to trying to balance turf stress and heat with mowing schedules. We will continue to try to perfect this science as we go into the future.

Again, thank you for playing and letting us know about your experience.

Have a great day!

Will Foust
Director of Golf

Dear tuckerdgt24,

Thanks so much for your review and letting us know about your experience. We will work with the superintendent to place better signage in that area. We restrict traffic in that area due to blind spots and safety. Certainly something that we can add signage for.

Thanks so much and have a great day!
