Cottonwood cart guy is a jerk

Over all the older man who is at the first hole was very kind, a little abrupt at first but warmed up.

The cart guy literally ignored me and my girlfriend multiple times. Even went so far as to ask people around us if we had a good time. They were men and he didn’t seem to like that a woman was there. Very weird almost ruined the whole experience.

The course needs some serious work. The grass is unkept and the greens at best were torn up.

Golfing

It was a little slow, but it was fun to play, but the greens were a little slow and rough.
