Played On 08/08/2020You can do better!
Before I begin understand I know during the pandemic it is hard to get/keep good help in some cases. I also understand that long periods of rain can prevent or hamper course maintenance operations. Having said that I chose the review title of you can do better. That is advice for the golfers in their course selection as well as the staff at The Crossings.
I played the Crossings about two months ago for the first time. In my search for a course that was located near one of my golfing partners who lives in Henrico I came across the Crossings. Reviews were not that favorable but some seem to indicate that the course was coming back into shape. So we played it and given it was early season or rather just after the restrictions were lifted I overlooked a lot of problems giving the staff the benefit of the doubt that once the season was in full swing the course would improve. This weekend proved me wrong. It was actually worse.
I could go on about how horrible the greens were and how in some cases you don't know where the green even begins. I could mention how bad the fairways were on many holes, how they needed cutting. I could talk about the tee boxes and how on many holes they didn't even bother to place the tee box markers out but rather just left them to the side. Nobody has very good bunkers right now but clearly they have not done anything given the grass growing in them. I took many pictures but decided to only post one as I think it captures perfectly the attitude of the course. The picture is of downed tree branches adjacent to the cart path. Yes, tress will lose branches in storms/winds, I get it. My problem was these branches were just moved out of the way of the cart path. As if that was good enough. From the look of the dead leaves and dried out wood at the breaks those branches probably have been siting there for a while. Either way remove them. Take some pride in your course and work.
I was so disgusted with this course I was on my phone booking a different course for the next day just to get the stink of that place off my clubs.
Sure, I could have spoken to someone at the course but given the previous reviews and the lack of staff present I didn't feel it would do any good.
Why am I taking the time to write this? We played on a Saturday morning with a 9ish tee time. As I drove in the parking lot I was rather surprised at how few vehicles were there. Now I know why, the place is not worth it. No way is the course worth the $57 I paid. I know that is not a lot but there are many courses in way better shape for the same if not cheaper.
Anyway, this is for the golfers out there..... you can do better.
