Bacon Park Golf Course

Terrible course and RUDE staff. Will never return!

This was my first time playing bacon park since the renovation of the course. My experience was so ridiculous, I have to begin with this longish story...

My friend and I arrived at 10:45 for our 11:30 tee time. We were greeted rudely, with barely a glance in our direction, the older fellow behind the desk said, "yes?". Once I told him I booked a Golfnow tee time for 11:30, he tells me we are early (as always...to warm up!) and we have to wait for the other two golfers who booked through Golfnow and "maybe" can get out at 11:30. I didn't think much of it and got some range balls.
At 11:30 exactly my friend and I are on the tee box when said older fellow comes outside and yells at us asking what we are doing. I calmly inform him of my 11:30 tee time and remind him I booked through Golfnow. He says, "oh yeah, well you should check with me before you tee off. Go ahead and go now". Again, whatever...I say nothing.
After we tee off and about about to drive down to our balks, the guy comes out AGAIN, yelling for us to "hold on there". Comes over and says, "One of your Golfnow 'buddies' just showed up. Pull over to the side and let these two groups go ahead, wait for him and whenever he is ready you can go."
I asked if he was seriously going to penalize us and make us wait and get stuck behind other groups when myself and my buddy had no one in front of us! He responded, "yep". I couldn't believe he was serious, and told him it was ridiculous of him to do that. I didn't want to argue and make a scene with other groups waiting behind me so we waited patently for 30 mins as 2 groups played through us and our third player got ready.
Once our 3rd finally tees off without introducing himself, he plays the first hole with us and promptly drives off without a word!!!
So after all of this wacky stuff happens, we play the next 17 holes of this "golf course"...and I use the term VERY loosely. The tee boxes aren't differentiated from the fairways at all other than the tee markers themselves, both the tee boxes and fairways are maintained at a below average level and mainly consists of mud and weeds. Some fairways can be as hard as a rock, other squish beneath your feet because of how soft and wet they are. The greens are quick, but very bumpy and hard as well. Not receptive to good shots at all.

Overall just a terrible experience, and I wish I would have never given this course another chance.

Course is a joke.

Worst greens I have ever seen, had more dirt than grass on them. Tee boxes full of weeds and uneven, absolutely no cart paths, and the "fairways" are like an average backyard.
