Most of the fairways are like carpet, wish the greens were It burns my brain to see all these drag marks on the greens from these lazy mother-phuckers that don't know how to lift their feet, And probably the same ones don't fix their ballmarks. Why bother shutting a green down for a month to repair it? If your greenscapers are going to mow them down to the dirt along the edges afterward, absolutely mind-blowing. You're bad tenders acting as starters need a little training, sending 3 singles out one at a time after a threesome is ridiculous. We three believe it would not hurt if you hung signs in every cart, asking golfers to sand their fairway devits and fix their ballmarks on the greens

Didn't even bother to seed and trim temporary greens, just stuck a flag hole off to the side and let us figure it out on our own, after trying to putt on the first one which was ridiculous we skipped the next four.,,, all this for regular prices. There was a nice well stocked ice/water station by the cart shack, but, the one employee inside told us the bar/snack counter inside didn't open till noon and the refreshment shack at the 1st tee /turn was not opening because it had no electricity

Cons---- Even though golfers have access to ice/water machine at cart house, at start/ turn there are 0 water coolers at any holes, and the bathroom shack between 13 & 14 smells like a dead something, and the water fountain is dead and appears to be as old as the course, And the normal sized trash can was nearly over flowing
Pros----the turf on the whole course from tees to greens are like carpet, absolute Kunos to greens keeper staff. Even the dreaded St. Augustine was thick and lush, LOL.
Have to give the bag- tenders a pass as they were slammed busy with finishers, they usually meet us at curb with cart.

Expected greens to be in better shape this time of year.
Even with three types of weeds infuriating the greens they were trimmed nicely and rolled fairly true.
Fairways were mostly turf and rolled ok on the dry spots.
The three of us were confused as to why there were so many soggy spots since it had not rained in four days.
Tee boxes matter not, most golfers tee up.

My guess is, that employees do not receive at the very least an annual cost of living pay increase.
Both courses being entirely taken over by weeds, turf disappearing at an alarming rate.

Only reason greens don't have time to regrow is empty heads not fixing ball marks and dragging their lazy feet, most of which probably are members thinking they are above it. Same on fairways, my golf partner and I are always filling two or three divots each, it is aggravating seeing a 6 inch divots just left. All fairways themselves are mostly turf. Tee boxes are irrelevant because most tee up. It would not hurt to put a sandbox with scoop on all par three whites.

Driving their carts within 5 ft of the green, a foursome reputting because they missed a 6-footer, all of them. Sure it's only 10 seconds each not even a minute but it's irritating to watch it happened on every single green. As for the course itself most of the fairways are mostly turf, who cares about the tee boxes because we all tee It up, I still think it would be a good idea to put sandboxes and a scoop on the par threes, even if only half the people fill their divots that's 50% of the divots being filled, it seems like the more they try to improve the greens the worst they get, I don't understand it.
And, do not know if it was because of the storm, but it seems like they're trimming back a lot of the vegetation that has been over growing.

Tee boxes are a bit weedy, but who cares, 99.9% of us tee It up, even on the 3's.
Since the pandemic started they have been shrinking the mowed part of the fairways and letting weeds take over most of the surrounding grounds.
Granted, we play mid-afternoon, after the morning rounds, but still the greens should not be so bumpy and rough, our balls change directions six times on a 10 ft putt, maybe roll the greens every time you trim them?

I thought West was improving nicely until I played East, holy crap, when West is improved equally as nice as East I won't mind paying more to play either course. Your greens keeper should School the greens keeper at Hollywood Beach course.
Major kudos to your intire maintenance crew.
That said, your starter/bagtender/cart maintainer should receive a major pay increase for his unwavered dedication to your organization.

We don't know, on the day in question we were about to check in and the man behind the counter said that as long as Thunder is booming they will not check us in, so we hung around outside for 30 minutes, the cloud got bigger and thunder got worse, so we left, cannot blame them, I would not want to be liable if someone got struck.

Love the way you're constantly changing the landscape and making everything look beautiful, BUT, starting groups out at 7 minutes apart that's just ain't going to work any more, that's just plain greed. Having to wait 10 to 15 minutes on every Tee Box to tee off is not an enjoyable round. Every golfer we came in contact agreed that they and we will not return.

If the greenskeepers continue to improve this course at this rate by next winter it may be worth $75 to play

The bagtenders and starter were more than accommodating, a course of this caliber we expected nice turf everywhere, would expect the first tee box to be kept immaculate, but no. What is hard to understand is most golfers tee up, how are bare spots created? Go figure. Fairways for the most part were nice and trimmed with only two or three different types of grass we saw very little Saint Augustine. I can't remember even one green that could be considered poor, firm, nicely trimed and for the most part rolled true. Only thing we all noticed about a third of them rolled slower than the rest that rolled like short nap carpet. The snack window people were attentive and friendly, only thing that seemed weird, no cups, lids, straws on counter beside ice/water machine.

Even if you need to close the course, the course needs to be redone with the funds that have been in account for at least 2 years now, get off your butt and redo this course, it's a beautiful layout it just needs to be redone with the money you have already, the reason I know this is because about 3 months ago we played with a couple of elderly women that were on the committee and they knew that the money is already there, you're just sitting on it or have you used it for other facilities or is it in your pockets, there is
Corruption in every level of government.

In my opinion, I would rather see six different kinds of weeds on the greens, which there were on most of the greens instead of bare spots, to memory there may have been two greens with a couple of small bare spots but you can see the plugs where they were trying to repair them.
Tee boxes were a mix of grass which doesn't really matter because you're tee-ing your ball up.
My memory is not what it used to be but I believe there is more turf grass then weeds or st. Augustine on the fairways which are sloooowly improving.
