Staff probvem and booking issues

Book to play 18 at 2:00 Started on the front nine and when we reached the turn they place a league in front of us that they schedule now every Thursday at 3:30. We paid for 18 and then have to wait for the entire league to finish our round. NOT RIGHT AT ALL.

I asked them why would you do that when it takes 2 hours to play nine? There was also a group in front of us that got the same treatment. The week before we had to play while they were turning sprinklers on in front of our group play and we had to play in the wet fairways and in the sprinkler while they watch us. This was at 2:30 just when we started. They are not happy that we get a discount and therefore treat us badly.

There isn't that many courses near me as each year they drop out of gold now.

THE PASS MAY NOT BE RIGHT FOR ME ANY LONGER

Old golf carts, or just crappy?

Busy day, Friday before Father’s Day, so expected a longer than normal round. Didn’t expect our cart to stop working on the 2nd hole. Called the pro shop and no answer, called main line and was put on hold, told me that there was no one in the pro shop. Waited 10 minutes, finally got through and they though a new cart. Continued on and made the best of it, but then on the 15th hole, our playing partners cart died. They called the pro shop and had the same experience, couldn’t get through. They picked up their bags and started walking so the could at least continue their round. Unless you’re planning on walking, I would suggest go elsewhere. I’ll never be back.

Overbooked, fairways need haircut

Staff openly admitting they overbooked. 5+ hour round. People behind is left on tee box 2 after seeing 4 groups on the par 5. They just added people in because they didn’t block out what was booked. Fairways way too long…mow please.! Sand traps haven’t had work in a long time.

Weird day

Started as a single but eventually partnered up because of slow play by a twosome two groups ahead. Eventually it became a foursome when other people caught up. This all happened in the first six holes it was so bad and no one was around to police it. Thankfully, they left after nine and we cruised through until 17 when the cart ran out of gas. We spent more time trying to get up the hill than playing. We called and someone came out right away but still….how does a cart go unfilled before the day starts. Overall, it was a beautiful day for golf, just a few hiccups that could have been avoided by the course management.

Pros and cons

The Pros: We appreciated the course conditions, and the fact they are trying to control the Canadian geese with statues of coyotes. It seems to be helping.

Cons: the bathroom between hole #2 & #7 for women is disgusting! There is a large hole cut out of the wall behind the toilet and through there you are able to see into the men’s restroom. Totally uncalled for!! A simple board to cover this would remedy it until this can be fixed.

Nice older course

Turnberry has a real nice layout. Greens rolled nicely . it is an older course, so there is some wear and tear on cart paths. However , we played in four hours. Real nice doglegs and challenging elevation changes on par 3’s and 5’s. Good value for the money

Awful Sandtraps

The only thing I will remember is how bad the sand traps were. Thankfully I didn't break my sand wedge on any of the large rocks in the trap.
