Time for a refresh

Might be time to consider someone under 70 to help run things here. It is almost impossible to get a tee time here, which seems mostly due to leagues that suck this place dry. We had an afternoon tee time and could tee off because of league twosomes continually jumping us. “Starter” (guy in a chair by the carts) offered no help whatsoever. I want to like playing here but it doesn’t seem to be run half as well as Boone County.

Why does this course exist?

Tee times are nonexistent. Tee times are spaced 6 minutes apart. Greens and tee boxes are never cared for. Expensive as could possibly be for the lowest quality muni in the area.

Very dry

They are not watering the fairways, it seems. They can’t help the lack of rainfall but I’d not go back until we get a lot more rain. Balls hitting the fairway should not dribble all the way, 20 yards, into the rough. I genuinely like the course but it’s too dry to play currently.
