What a shame

This used to be one of the nicest public courses in the area. I wish I could say that now. I'm not sure where to start. It took me two attempts to find a golf cart that would make it to my car to pickup my clubs. The first one wouldn't stop idling unless you took turned it off with a key. We got to the first tee box early and promptly waited 15 minutes past our tee time to tee off. They moved the white tees up last year for some reason so now the first plays as an iron layup before going over the creek. This backs everyone up. Also although the scorecard shows black, blue, green, white, gold and red tees someone must've stolen the black and red tee markets on every hole. After taking 45 minutes to go 3 holes we figured it was time to see a beverage cart and get a refreshment. That never came because there wasn't one. But that didn't become knowledge to us until we finished the first 9 and I went inside the "clubhouse" and waited several minutes for the one employee working to come back inside. I saved the you know it would be helpful to say: "there's no bev cart on the course, would you like to purchase anything here" line as it probably would've fallen on deaf ears. I was told by a guy sitting at the bar they weren't going to have extra employees if there weren't any golfers. The parking lot seemed to be pretty full when I showed up. I can imagine all the lost beverage revenue this place is losing must add to its woes. So I asked if I could get two waters and was told to buy them outside in the vending machine. Back to the course; while the fairways were in good condition the greens were rough. It looks like the course doesn't fix the ball marks the people who golf here fail to. There was also damage in several greens and fairways which looked like it was from equipment. This is a shame. I've played this course since it opened as the creeks at Ellington. While far from perfect the people seemed to care at that point. I'm not sure if I can say the same now. I probably won't be back for a long time.
