O Marshall ... Where Art Thou?

I love playing at Welk's Fountain Course.. Great Challenges for such a short layout. There are some very pretty holes through the mountain passes. And if you like to hit a driver, you'll have a nice time pulling out the big gun. Just hit it accurately.. This course is fun for most skill levels..
My only complaint is that a Marshall should watch the course a bit closer. Yes, I understand it is a resort course but sometime on the back nine, a group of 8... (four carts)... decided to jump in... Maybe they tried to play earlier. and took a break because it was cold. But there was no excuse on an already slow day to have a this happen. It took over 4 and 1/2 hours to play. That's crazy.

The only other thing is that the long par 3/4 16th. What is the real distance to the whole. I see a number of different distances and It's always baffling... it says 227 yds but it's a nice 3 wood down a substantial elevation drop...

Welk conditions Poor

I used to call welk resort my home coarse and have golfed there for almost 3 years. I have never seen the coarse in such dispair... Granted they are removing summer grass ( so they said ) but that does not call for the conditions of the greens and fairways to look like they do. And to charge full price for weekend play during this I think is unfair...

Great Golf!!

I've always liked playing at this course. The greens are usually in good shape and divots are normally repaired. The staff is very friendly and you can't forget about the views on a clear day.

A nice Executive course

Fairly well maintained for September... It wasn't as nice as when I had played it in Feb.. For an executive course, it's a pretty good option considering it has multiple short PAR 4s..
