I remember playing Hiddenbrooke years ago and the course conditions were immaculate. I couldn't say that after playing yesterday. The greens had been aerated 2 weeks prior...so they were looking good. The majority of the tee boxes on the back side especially need to weeded and reseeded. I don't remember one green-side bunker that was playable. In some cases the drainage pipes were showing. The fairways on the backside were soggy and in some areas unplayable They were not marked as such. The fairway roughs needed to be mowed. Looked like they had been when the grass was wet as there were clumps of cut grass throughtout.

In all fairness, the area had just received record amounts of rain during the month of February and it got a good soaking on Friday. I'm hoping the maintenance crew will be working to improve the course conditions as the rains begin to subside and we have better weather.

The food and beverage director was spectacular. We called from Hole #10 asking about the beverage cart...said it was on the front nine servicing the tournament players. Understood, but within minutes...there she was...didn't have coffee, but went back to the clubhouse and brought us back some all before we finished the 10th hole Now that is service!!

I'll be back and hoping for a better experience.
