Self absorbed women with zero etiquette but huge attitude

Went off as a single. After 6 holes I came up on 2 women who let me through without issue. Two holes later I come onto the tee of par 5 before a group of 3 women have even teed off, after already waiting in the prior fairway. Did they let me through immediately, or did they proceed to hit balls sideways into the woods (they should NOT be playing a championship level course until they can both hit it better than awful beginners, AND UNDERSTAND BASIC GOD.D. ETIQUETTE.

I patiently waited 27 MINUTES for them to play a par 5 that I had driver, 6 iron into. UNACCEPTABLE.

DID THEY LET ME THROUGH ON THE NEXT TEE, WHICH I ARRIVED AT AGAIN BEFORE THEY EVEN TEED OFF... NOPE. PURE UNADULTERATED IGNORANCE. Just like the massive numbers of Left Lane Losers in this country (self absorbed losers is why we can't have the Autobahn with no speed limit).

There was a ranger sitting behind the green, but he was too late to set them straight and teach them how etiquette works.

So I had to teach them. There wouldn't have been yelling involved if they had not verbally aggressed me as their opening words to me, on top of making me wait 50 minutes to play 1.5 holes when 2 other groups let me through immediately upon seeing me.

You aren't going to be nice to me, when I give you 3 opportunities, then you open with verbal aggression towards me, the. get ready to have some cold hard reality come down hard into your ears.

Nice even with drought conditions

First time playing here. Nice helpful staff. Even with our severe drought, it played well. Greens rolled true, sand traps maintained. Some tee boxes and high traffic areas burned out but not much anyone can do about it now. We need rain...just at night please!

After years of Waiting I finally played Waterford!

Beautiful day to golf at Waterford. I ended up being a single because the threesome arrived a lot earlier than me! I was 20 mins early for tee time. I headed out on Gleneagles and then to Sawgrass. They did warn my it was dry due to the drought situation. Hard to find puffy grass on Gleneagles but Sawgrass was all but perfect. There are some holes that houses sit to close for comfort. I may have hit a roof or two! Overall would recommend playing Waterford.

Fun course

Fun course, good conditions on Glen Eagles, Turnberry is a bit rough. There wasn't a beverage cart which was a bummer as it was hot as heck and we were parched and ran out of water. Eventually we made it to a comfort station and refilled our water bottles.

Great course in fine shape. It was my first time playing the course and I had no idea what the layout was. Would have been helpful to see the layout on scorecard or distant signs with a picture.

A good $50-$60 course

We played after 3 o’clock, so the rate was $50. The fairways are showing a lot of stress. The greens however, are fairly nice. The place of play was outstanding. I am always curious,rather than have nobody out on the course why they don’t lower the greens fees.

Blah

They need help. $5 for 20 balls or $10 for $35 lol. Won’t give you a key to your cart until it’s your tee time. Fun lugging the bag to the range and then the putting green. Then when it’s our tee time he sends us off while a foursome pulls up on us making the turn. Felt like idiots making them wait. Pace of play on the back 9 was horrendous. 4some of 4 80 year olds hitting 10 shots each. First hole took 30 minutes. Not to mention they were green side so I hit. Guy gets in his cart comes back to the fairway and hits my ball. Never seen anything like this place. We ended up leaving on hole 15.

Nice course layout!

First time playing here. Fairways and greens were great. At each Tee, it was easy to determine where to play your ball.
