Great course. Bad site manager

Course is in great shape for a public forest preserve course thanks to the course management contractor. Only problem is the course management company's manager.
She is rude and sarcastic towards customers. When trying to confront her about.her maladjusted bad attitude, she gets even more confrontational about arguing that she is not...Isn't that being confrontational ?? This is not acceptable and her supervisor should be held accountable . Possibly remove both of them ??

Our 4 finished in 3 hours 50 minutes but felt rushed. There were 2 different 2 somes behind us. I wish the starter would combine them at number 1 just like he combined our 2 2 somes.

Enjoyed the cold day

Course was in great condition considering it is a county course. This was the first time playing Highland Woods course. The fairways were very generous which is helpful for the average golfer. I will definitely play again. A toast to the three gentlemen (Bruce, Doug and Bob), I had the pleasure of being paired with for the day.

Good experience

Used to play this course before Covid but the pace was horrible. Now they have 10 minute spacing for tee times and that is a big improvement. Conditions were pretty good but greens were a little beat up. Overall not bad and the layout is great. Plays long but fairways are wide. We played on a Monday at a 4:20 pace.

Wet track

Golf course was crazy wet, even with the rain, sprinklers looked to be on normal which really drowned this golf course.
