Conditions

It is early in the season and the greens had a sand top coating so greens were slow. They will be much faster as the season goes on.

They Don't Want You Here

Pro shop attendant is incredibly rude. They "aerated" the greens. This means every green and most tee boxes have a minimum half inch of sand covering them. No warning whatsoever. Was told to "go to the driving range" if we didn't like it.

Unless you are over the age of 60, they treat you like you're an inconvenience for wanting to give them your money and play there. I've played there many times. I've dealt with a rude pro shop attendant every time, and the "aerated" greens multiple times. This round was the last round I'll ever play there. Congrats, guys. I won't be showing up to inconvenience you with my money again.

Stay away!

Black mtn. Home if the par 6!

I live playing this course. It’s the best bang for your buck. The green tee grille has some amazing food and the staff there are super friendly. I would say it’s the second most challenging course I’ve played at.
