It's all about the details and coffee or lack thereof!

I was very excited to play at Indian Springs as I had recently seen the course in immaculate conditions. Had a very early tee time 6:30 am (my choice). Arrived on time and no food or beverages available...no coffee or even water for that matter. For the record it was 90 degree's that morning on its was up to 95 by 10 am. Really disappointed and non-caffeinated headed to the first tee where I was met with an grumpy old starter/ranger who gruff-ed to my friend and I to keep up with the group ahead of us...there was 2 groups ahead on the 1st tee??? Obvious and unnecessary badgering is a bad way to start the round. Teed off and played first two holes, great pace of play. I head up to the 3rd tee box and tried to wash my ball, come to find there is no water in the ball washer...OK I'm thinking maybe just a fluke. NOPE, all remaining 15 holes dry as a bone! Next issue, no beverage cart person/girl anywhere to be found. No water coolers on the course until hole #14...what the heck. On the turn at 8:30 am, went to the club house to "Marco's restaurant" and the window hot dog stand....again no one around, restaurant still closed and hot dog stand still locked up and closed. Now I'm getting annoyed...I can understand being closed at 6:30 am, but 8 AM coffee should be available as well as breakfast sandwiches...again what the heck! I continue on my parched round and finally at 10 am, the cart girl finally makes an appearance when I'm on the 17th hole. I ask if she has food...nope, just crackers...not even freaking soft pretzels...again what the heck. I bought my 2 bottles of Gatorade and proceed to drank the entire first one in front of the very late appearing cart girl! Honestly, for a course in such good playing conditions, I was very disappointed with the lack of details, poor customer service, grumpy rangers harassing us all morning even though there was absolutely no one behind us and most importantly NO COFFEE or FOOD until 10 am! Guess I'm sticking to my once a year round at this joke of a course. Will try again next year, maybe they will buy a clue. One more thing, definitely not worth the $62 it cost me!

The Links Golf Club

The Links Golf Club is an absolute gem.

The Links Golf Club is an absolute gem. The course is very scenic, secluded and meanders through the edge of the Pine Barrens in Marlton NJ. The course is well maintained and conditions are very good. The holes are dictated by the land, none of the holes feel artificial. Very playable course with 4 different tee boxes. Some holes are narrow and tree lined, while others are open and tree lined with thinned out underbrush allowing you to scramble back into play. I love the different angles that one is forced to play on many severe doglegs. I never get sick of playing this course, encounter new experiences every time I play (have played course 4 times in last 8 months. The clubhouse is nice, could use some remodeling in the bar/restaurant. Pro shop is stocked well.The course is now semi-private, allowing the public tee times, which is long over due. New club associate memberships are available, very affordable with reduced public play rates while providing full club access. I will definitely be taking up an associate club membership ASAP.
