Rosen Shingle Creek

Let me start by saying, my day was ruined from the moment I first interacted with the starter.

I had a 9:30 tee time with my son. Arrived at the course at 9:00, guys at the bag drop greeted us nicely, and I went in to pay for the round. Took the cart to the driving range and the starter told me I didn't have time to hit balls but needed to get on the tee right away (at 9:08) because there was a group of 20 who wanted to get out. I told him my tee time was at 9:30 and he said "you need to take that up with the pro shop but I can't get you out until 10:45 if you don't go now."

I'm 59 years old and need time on the range to loosen up and spend a little time on the putting green to gauge the speed. I wasn't given the opportunity to do either. And getting attitude from the starter had me fired up.

The ranger saw me later on the course and said he heard about what happened to me. He said it was wrong and graciously apologized. He was the only one who gave me any sense of appreciation.

I was told by some people who play the course regularly that the pro shop often changes tee times without telling the guests.

The pace of play was terrible. But this could have been avoided by tee placements. Too many Par 4's and Par 5's were playing far too short. Par 4's were drivable and Par 5's were reachable in 2. Bring the tees back so that people aren't waiting for the group ahead to finish up on a par 4 that is playing like a par 3.

I definitely overpaid for the experience I had and would never return.

Very nice course for the money. Well kept. It was about 3 weeks after they had punched the greens but it still putted well.

Wow, The greens and tee boxes are in rough shape right now. Fairways were good. Not worth the price right now, maybe in a few weeks after things have had a time to heal. Also disappointing the range closed shortly after I arrive due to “maintenance”. Perhaps play elsewhere until mid/Late August.

Great course, great layout. Didn’t think there was a better course like Ventura, but I was wrong. Much nicer in my opinion.

Liked the course Only gave a 2 on conditions as it was recently airated so would have been nice to know that in advance Would definitely play again

They aereated the whole course. I can love with that but the tee boxes are in bad shape. Kinda neglected. Paid $50 for hot deal. Not worth that. More like $30. Max. Greens are going to need at least 1 month to recover. (Holes & sand). I won’t be back for at least a month. Needs some TLC as well.

Course was in excellent Condition. Course was not crowded so the three some I was part of, who like to play quickly had no trouble getting around the course as fast as our own play would allow. Will be back again.

Called the course ahead to check tee time availability and was told it was available. They didn’t want me to use Golfnow at a cheaper rate so removed the tee time from Golfnow and after I called back to clarify what I was told by Michael, I was told the tee time was already booked but I could book another time at the club for there regular rate. I will never golf here when other beautiful courses in the area offer better customer service and honesty.

1st class course greens were in good shape. Pace was not a problem at all. Staff was very professional. Course could use a little improvement on a couple of the Tee Boxes.

I’ll be back!!
