Nice Track

The conditions of Colony West for our round were very good. Although there are still a few "thin" spots on the fairways from summer flooding, overall they are in good - very good condition. The tee boxes show the wear of being a public golf course but were completely acceptable.

The greens roll true and quick, with the exception of a multitude of ball marks. For some reason the golfing public is south FL simply refuses to repair their ball marks or rake traps. Greatly frustrating!

The course has recently upgraded their fleet of golf carts to nice, new electric carts. It seems that they should have acquired a few more, however. When we arrived, approximately 30 minutes early, there were none to be had. Amazingly, the starter was able to get us out basically on time.

The staff, by and large, are very good and friendly. The one exception; Bernadette. Apparently, she either 1) lost her dog, 2) missed her morning coffee, or 3) just isn't very nice. Too bad...
