Watering greens on a prime day and full price?

Arrived at the course and seemed like a very nice layout with nice views. However, as I got into a cart, it did not seem to be fully cleaned and the brakes did not work properly. Not the greatest start to a course that charges 70 dollars on a Sunday at 8:45 AM. This wasn’t really what bothered me the most and I was able to look past it. What drove me to be very disappointed by a full price prime day of the week of golf were the course conditions. Every Tee box was chewed and grass was absent from most of them. In addition, 9 out of 18 holes were absolutely soaked with water at 9 AM with a full course of people playing. Watering systems turned on with a full course of people are out on a prime day? This was the best time to be doing this? The pins and holes had the foam out and were full of water to the brim of the holes. Literally unputtable on 6 of the 9 soaked holes. Walking the green, you could feel the saturation with every step. To top it off, the sprinklers, hoses, and Other course equipment could be found all over every bunker and green side area, not to mention most bunkers were either concrete or fully weed filled. My group paid 70 dollars each to play and putt 9 true holes? I’ve never seen such a disregard for golf patrons on a Sunday morning. When charging that price, a course needs to take into account the conditions. Nice layout, but a shame they treated their course or the patrons this way, when people want to get outside to enjoy a round after not being able to for so long with everything going on. Would never return with this price or the conditions. If conditions at this course improve, I would.
