Course maintenance staff distracted our group

Staff were everywhere in front of tees. And on greens - not paying attention to players - almost hit two - greens were just sanded but no one mentioned it at checkin

Shot makers course.

Great course, but too many blind shots and forced lay ups.
Like the amenities and golf carts with their gps!
We will return, but hope course is adjusted for more “fair play”.

CHAOTIC

Pace of play was horrible. Almost every 2-3 holes there would be a different group in front of me. To many young adults abusing easy access to the course.

Too long too tough

5 hours on a Tuesday! Do I need to say more? I started playing this course in 1999, was always one of my favorite tracks for the layout, greens have always been tough. Unfortunately the greens have got away from them and the mounds, hills and pin placements have become borderline unplayable. Tee to green it’s a great layout. But as in many Johnny Miller courses I’ve played it’s the same story. Johnny couldn’t putt at the end of his career so his designs always punish players. Too tricked up, mounding and guys who put out pin placements just don’t get it. Five hours, come on Whitney or Thunder Valley, course Marshall’s must be there to encourage pace of play!!!! Guys hitting 3-4 tee shots, then 2-3 from their second shot, hitting one where they can’t find it and return to the fairway where you thought they were gone and came back to hit from their original spot because of the “rules” and then hit it on again!!!! People this is a game, nobody is collecting a check, nobody cares what you shoot, have fun and enjoy the scenery and play the game! I simply would t recommend the track based on the greens, we gotta have at least one birdie pin for a chance. Not every pin has to be on the edge of a mound, 2 paces in the back left corner with OB 15 feet behind, so you play to the middle and have no way to make a putt because your on some weird slope and the ball goes three different ways before it rolls off the green because of the pin placements and slope to stop a ball with a putter… anyway it’s been fun and real , see you anywhere but here again

Great time, until we started

Had this joker out there sending guys off. We had a 10:20 and at 10:15 he send off a foursome, and our round took almost 6hrs. His last words were they won't slow, it took them 20 plus minutes to putt, it got to where the people behind us were hitting into us. No marshal to come out. Ridiculous to be honest, seeings how there was barely anyone playing
