Lairdt

First encounter. Marshal was critical that I drove over to him on cart path at an angle instead of 90 degrees. I said nothing.
Second encounter at the very next tee box. He told us to speed up because the group in front of us were exiting the green on this par 5. I commented that 'they're a threesome.' He ignored that logic.
Third encounter. Marshal told us to let the threesome through us because we were behind by two holes.
We were squeezed between two threesomes. Of course we had to wait for the new threesome in front of us to exit the next fairway before we could hit. Then, the new group behind us teed off while we were still in the fairway. One of our guys yelled 'four' back at them....and they yelled, 'Get out of the way, then.'
It was a very uncomfortable round of golf. We played in 4 12 hours, which is pretty normal on a weekend.

Fairways and greens were nice. Greens were slower than we would have liked. We played late morning on a Friday. Nobody in front of us and we let a twosome play through.

We play here (37 miles from home) about once a year and have since it opened. What has happened? Fairways are thin and greens have a lot of bare spots. Even ball washers had no water.

We used to play the course fairly often in the 90s, but less since other courses have opened closer to home.

We won't go back for another year. How disappointing.

We only play there when we find a 'deal.' It's long and has more traps than most courses. I can attest to that.

We've played this course half a dozen times since it opened about 4-5 years ago. I was getting better every time as it matured. However, this time, they've obviously had a tough summer insofar as greens are concerned. There are lots of 'bad' spots and repaired spots that haven't healed, yet.

The most disturbing thing was that players were not repairing ball marks in the soft greens.....and, even though there were plenty of rakes, deep footprints were very evident in all the traps. Peope had to step over rakes to get to their ball, coming and going.

From the very friendly and informative 'starter' to the very last hole of this course, we were raving about the place. Bentgrass greens were absolutely perfect. This is surprising, considering three other courses I know, in the Raleigh, NC area, have had a disastrous summer with their greens.

Tee boxes, fairways, bunkers and greens were in such fine shape there's nothing else left to judge. Their new clubhouse is well on its way to being completed.

This course is surrounded, in most part, by a relatively new residentilal community with a wide range of house designs. The lawns, front and back were very well maintained, as was the golf course. I could enjoy living and playing there.
