For a course that is not cheap, this place is a gimmick. We had a 1150 tee time, get there at 1120, go into the pro shop, check in, buy range balls, the usual progression.

We get to the range, which is about a 3-4 minute drive from the pro shop, and the ball dispenser is empty, so no range balls for us, amazing they didn’t have this ready for Sunday morning tee times.

Then we go to the starter and one tee at 1140 to check in, there’s a twosome on the tee box, and apparently another two some ahead of us, which seemed off because we’re 1150, it’s 1140 and their tee times are on the ten minute.

The starter then explained to us that they were both the 1140 tee time, but since they booked separately they were going to have them play separate, so our 1150 tee time quickly became noon, with two twosomes in front of us that were behind like 19 foursomes I believe the starter said.

So with our newly found free time since there were none of our paid for range balls to hit or scheduled tee times to play, we talked to the starter about the course.

They’d lost sections of the greens to fungus so there’s huge sand sections sporadically throughout the course, so that’s just brutal. Type of grass on the greens varies from one hole to the next so some were punched more recently that others. It was just a mess.

Overall, the place is a disaster. When we made the turn, we saw 12 guys standing on one tee box who looked prepared to play together as one big group, and we got to ten tee to learn one of the twosomes was now a single so we got to watch a single play golf the whole back nine with absolutely nowhere to go due to the terrible pace of play management.
