Dirty and rude

Bathrooms were filthy and the staff is beyond rude.

The bathrooms on the actual course were closed and there were no other options than the woods.

Never going back and making sure to let everyone that ever asks me to know that it’s worth the extra money to go to George Dunne. Staff was the main issue.
