The Vineyard let me down as a senior yesterday

The starter was a mean senior guy. He was rude and let me have a not so good golfer as a shared ride. I explained him that I reserve the cart and tee time as a single. He was adamant and told me there is no guarantee I will be riding alone.

I was going there often, but now....🤨

Poor conditions

Played today and the conditions , other than the greens were poor. Lots of dead grass and then mud in the fairways. Rough was not maintained and bunkers were mud. Interesting layout and nice setting around the area. Seems like they over water in some areas and poor drainage through the course.

Course good, carts not so much

Thoughts on the Vineyards:
- The carts need some TLC. All the carts I saw had ripped seat cushions and mine had a broken USB charger. Also carts have no windscreen - would've been nice as it was windy and my hat kept getting blown off
- The bunkers need some work and fresh sand. Needed to fluff my lie to have a proper lie in the bunkers which was heavy with dirt and packed sand.
- Interesting that they have THREE putting greens but none of them allow chipping practice. Odd.
- The cart girl was regularly seen which was great.
- No ball washers on course...a remnant COVID decision that should be overturned.
- The greens were a bit confoudning....some were slow, others were slower. Judging speed was challenging
-Generally the course was in really good shape

Horrible Carts

I was given a cart that was literally falling apart. It had mechanical as well as cosmetic issues like the seats being ripped and cracked. When the cart wouldn't move, it was explained to me that I needed to reach down and manually move the brake petal toward the seat every time I wanted to accelerate. I wasn't offered a new cart. I was just told I had to deal with their "aging" fleet of carts. It is unacceptable for any course to let their customers use carts in this condition. It was annoying and borderline unsafe. This course is always packed and they clearly have the resources to purchase new carts.

The Vineyards

Three some in front of us were late, so starter sent out single. We teed off 5 minutes late, but had no wait until hole #10. (played front 9 in less than 2 hrs)
Course conditions were good. Weather was warm & humid with lots of knats flying around.
Snackbar attendant was helpful.
Overall a good day.

Broken Golf Cart

They gave us a cart from 15-20 yr old golf cart that has a chassis broken. We have to struggle turning the steering on this bumpy, clunky sounding ride.

Expect to wait every tee box

The course is well kept for the price of a 3:30 time , greens roll nice, plush enough fairways. Yet after you are done with hole 3 expect to wait 15-20 per hole at the tee box. I think they book groups too closely together, it took 5 hours to finish. This wasn’t my first time this has happened. My only complaint with the course.

Fair value golf course

We had a great time playing. Course was in good condition. Pace of play was smooth. Greens and fairways were good as well.
Cons: No ball washers, No yardage markers, No GPS on carts.
Probably why the value was fair.
