Starter !!!

The elderly female starter at this course attended to her familiar customers first, making us wait for a long time. We patiently began our round, but all the greens were aerated. They should have informed us about this situation in advance.

Great Golf

Pulled into a large parking lot and it was nice to have a gentleman driving around picking players up in the lot and bring up to clubhouse.

The woman started has the worst attitude and is harsh! The carts are locked until it is your time to play. She gives us the okay to go to first tee and then she comes flying down the hill screaming at us to stop. Once again screaming to stop and not go to the tee. She is yelling everything is backed up the first couple of tees. She then tell me we have to wait another 20 minutes before teeing off. Turned into 30 minutes. It was okay we had time to practice our putting. Finally get to the tee and the group in front of us took over 15 shots to get to the tee. The first 6 holes we were backed up. The pace was slow-no rangers were present the entire round. Back nine was great. It seems many players dropped off after nine. Greens were recently air rated.

Cart girl was nice in the course BUT her puts were very short. She tried to tell me that a 3 count is all she pours…um no it’s a 5 count.

Had a fun day and will definitely be back.

First time

This was the first time playing the course, the design layout was very good only drawback was the aerated greens, which impacted the scores I would play it again after the greens heal, I would recommend playing the course.

Les

The course should post when the greens have been aerated. They were aerated this week and there was no mention of this on your website so putting was a joke.

Glad to see management investing in the course. Fresh sand in the bunkers, which we haven't seen in a while. Greens were excellent, course played long due to recent rainfall, no roll to speak of. The course is a great test of golf.

Woman Starter Had A Really Bad Attitude!

The starter was an old jaded woman with really, really bad attitude! I was excited to play the course but her attitude and bad mannerism was a really turn-off. Even the starter before her as they were changing shifts, another old guy with a don't care attitude was there. He also pretty much ignored us but was not a combative the old woman who took over. Never again! In the area there are six better golf courses where people are treated with dignity.
