New course

Seemed short staffed and had to wait 45 min to get a cart. Almost left, but it was good we stayed. Very long course and challenging. Played from the appropriate tees and it was fine. Greens and fairways in good shape. Again, they need carts and 1 or 2 more people.

Decent greens

Grabbed a cart and noticed it was filthy and asked did I get the right cart because I was worried if it could make it . Was told sarcastically we'll get someone to clean it and went to the 1st. tee at my 3pm tee time and found a threesome and no starter. Even tho they had the same tee time they refused to play with me because they had a bet going so they let me play though.Everything was cut nice but with the dead and fallen trees and grass in the deep bunkers made for a strange day. Tough course from the unlevel blue tees but the greens were large and decent to putt but it was obvious with the lack of animals and the pond scum it was not maintained very well.
