Nice course, very poor condition

Surprised when we turned up by the lack of club shop, can buy lake balls at the bar but that's it. We also had a problem with the staff regarding having booked through tee-off-times, they wouldn't honour our tee time as it hadn't been made directly with them. Luckily we were able to tee off earlier than that slot anyway, a group behind us weren't so lucky and were told it would be a half hour wait.

First hole was playing a temporary green which was very disappointing given how dry it is, wasn't even a cut temp green just a hole in the fairway.
Fairways were reasonable, bump and very fast but that's to be expected given the weather. Greens were very mossy and cracked, generally bad condition.
The 12th green was almost flooded as it had just been watered.
On the 13th we tee'd off to find that the greenkeeper was on the green watering it, he wouldn't acknowledge us or move the hoses so we could play the hole which was really disappointing, we had to skip it and move on. The next hole had all the sprinklers on which had totally flooded the green, it was underwater in several places. I've never seen this sort of thing being done during normal playing hours, even at a pay and play course.

It's a nice course, not too difficult, but because of the condition and the work being done as we were playing we won't be returning.
