Have played and bragged about this course to all of my friends. When all my buddies come in from out of town HH is always on the schedule.
However, this past Monday I took 3 of my buddies out and unfortunately theywill not be coming back. We played as a 4-some and had to continually allow single and twosomes play through as we were trying not to hold up the course which was filled with 2-somes and singles. Since I was familiar with the golf course and the extra holes we decided to get out of the way and play the old holes of 12,13,14 and on the 15th tee box we ran into the owner who was rude to say the least. He was confrontational and clueless to what we just did for him. As we are all business owners we tried to keep the golf course moving at our expense. We put HH reputation first by moving out of the way and we even played in 4 hours!! Then we were told to get back to hole 12 and keep playing. So we did. Not only did we play, we had a gallery follow us around and try to intimidate us as we played. Seriously this actually occurred!! We are 50 year old men and have professional businesses and were treated like this.
Lastly, the old original golf course was a hidden gem! I played this course all through High School and fell in love with it.
However, like so many stupid things that humans do, someone thought it would be a great idea to add a new 4th and 5th holes. The 4 th hole is probably in the top 5 garbage holes I have ever played. You have to carry a drive 233 yards over .... a mess or lay up in the mess. The 5th hole is just a really hard par 3. It's not a bad hole, just challenging.
Now on to the back 9. The former holes of 12,13, 14 and 15 are just flipping awesome! 12 from the back is 460 plays uphill and when you stand on the green and look back you can appreciate how good the hole is. 13 is downhill and straight forward, 14 is a tour like hole and 15 is a 120 yard par 3. The new holes on the back 9 can be described as garbage, tricked up and you find yourself asking why am I playing here. As a former PGA golf professional and PGA TOUR CADDY I think the owners screwed this up. They would of been better off putting the $$ into the original golf course which is way more playable and enjoyable. As a matter of fact I would even do a consultation on how to improve the original track. All it needs is a little lipstick to improve this gem. My only requirement would be a 30 minute class on how to treat people that keep you in business and an apology to my friends for the unfortunate incident by the man who said he was the owner . Anything less than that and we will not be back!
