Nothing like a 6 hour and 15 minute round on a Saturday. Should have known we were in for a rough day when there were 16 people (not including our four) at the first tee box with no starter to be found. It was the wild Wild West. Absolute chaos. When the starter finally arrived he allowed three groups with later tee times to go ahead of us and others with earlier tee times. When I asked why he was doing that, he got arrogant and asked for a logical solution to the problem that I had. Last I checked, checking tee times and receipts didn’t seem to be something that required logical brainstorming. There was one ranger for the whole course and average time waiting at each tee box was 19 minutes. By noon, the ranger had said that 240 people had already gone through the course. Just about double the normal reservations. Poor outing.

Cart path only for just about 90% of this course, so plan on walking uphill for every shot after the tee box. Everything’s roped off like the course is in pristine condition. Most fairways look like they had road spikes thrown down and were dragged for 100 yards. It’s a difficult course. Almost entirely hills, sand traps are mostly dirt. The rough will make you never want to play golf again. I can’t imagine who plays here for 100 a clip. The hot deal at 35 made me wanna toss my clubs out onto the taconic.
