Trending (in the wrong direction): I've been coming to MMGC for three years and they've lost their edge. Prices are increasing while the service, quality and experience is decreasing. Here's a recap of my experience this week.
1) Outside Services: Upon arrival, OS watched me walk across the parking lot with my bag and allowed me to get all the way to the carts before greeting me or taking my bag. He was also friendly-ish at best. OS at the end of the round was great.
2) Food & Beverage: They've hired some great people. The exception being the guy that bartends evenings who is comically not nice. The entire operation is mismanaged. The beverage cart has been out of basic mixers on my last two visits. After the round we sat at a table for 10 minutes without being greeted or acknowledged. So, we moved to the bar where we were never offered menus, etc.
3) Course Conditions: The course had only been open for one week post overseed. So, it's not fair to make comments about the greens being slow. Overall, the condition was as expected. However, they had just cut the fairways but neglected to blow them. So, there was grass clippings everywhere on each fairway.
4) Pace of Play: We went off 10~15 minutes late (not sure why). Ranger presence was exceptional. However, they send groups off at 8-minute intervals. So, there was some waiting due to the volume of players.
I want to love this course but the last two visits have mirrored the experience above. If they don't start paying more attention detail, I will be looking elsewhere.
