Bad software/management

First, the good... the food at the turn or after the round is great.

Greens are tricky but fair if you survey the territory.

My biggest complaint is the combination of the pace of play and the nennyware in the carts. I can't remember the last time I've played a 6 hour round. Actually I can... it was here two year ago.

Worse is that the carts continually tell you how long behind pace you are. We can see at least two groups in front of us blocked. If you have GPS on ca;rts you should be able to identify the laggards and those caught up in the backup.

I give a course two tries, but after two years the same problems persist. I will not come back.

Beautiful course, very slopy which make it harder to play, but overall, good experience for our first time here….

Unfair hole placements

The greens were in great shape.

Most holes had back pin placements.

From the fair way there was no way to tell which part of the green the flag was in. All the same color flag.

GPS was to the middle.

I have never played a course to where on 4 separate holes, the pin was on such a steep slope, you roll your ball past the hole and it would roll all the way back to where you putted from. Incredible, those pins should never be placed past center of those greens. Never played a course with holes setup like that.

Was playable outside of that, but wouldn’t pay more than $35 to play there again.

Course Condition was really bad.

The layout of the course is fun, challenging and enjoyable. However the course conditions were really bad. The t-boxes were just bad for the price we paid. The fairways were unpredictable, some places were parched dry and some places there was mud. Overall the fairways were a 2-star. The only grace were the greens, they were well maintained and fast. The first cut around the greens were very bad. Hopefully there is a plan to fix these soon.

Speed of greens

Completely unacceptable speed of greens. On some greens it didn't make a difference what side of hole u putted on. Above the hole it would role back to or past u. Below the hole if u didn't hit it in it would role sometimes off the green. Played in my club tournament and #1 criticism was the outrageous speed. On the par 3 13th multiple golfers putted 6, 7 times and one golfer a 7 handicapper putted 12 times. We're not playing Augusta fellas. Fire your superintendent.

Bay View

First time playing the course as "Bay View". Only big change I noticed was that they filled in the pond on #7 totally removing the character of the hole. Greens were is good shape and a decent speed which was refreshing because the last time I played Summitpointe I walked off because the greens were unplayable. Overall condition of the course was poor and the "Drop Area" for #16 was dirt!!

I would not recommend this course to anyone and will not be returning.

Challenge course

The course is in good shape, it's hard to find a even ground except the tee box, the green is in excellent condition but fast, it's worth to give it a try.
