Played On 06/24/2017Starter is a terrible, Rude person
Showed up for a 10:45 Tee time about 15 minutes early and went to hit a couple balls at the range (approx 100' from starter) Starter got upset and stated I'm going to put someone in front of you if you’re going to hit balls. I replied that is fine but I am only hitting maybe 3 or 4 and I will be ready in plenty of time for our start, He just grunted and walked to another group and told them to go. We asked how to get a basket of balls for the driving range and he yelled at us to get them inside. Went inside and the gentleman at the counter explained to us we get a token inside and machine was outside. So we got a basket and went over to hit a couple and were ready to go at our posted tee time and had to wait for group in front of us.
We played the front 9 a little slower than the group behind us (had my son first time playing a real course) was playing so at the turn I walked up to the starter and asked " we are holding up the group behind us a little( due to new player) so we are going to grab a drink and let them go on the back ahead of us" There was nobody behind them and I couldn't even get out the full sentence and he yells NO! NO! You get your drink and get back out there. What a miserable guy to have out there starting off peoples’ supposedly relaxing day. At that point I had had enough of his rudeness and just went on our way.
The greens were slow but in OK shape. The fairways were bad and rest of course needed a lot of care. Several hits in middle of fairway that carried thru or rolled off the side could not be found due to grass, leaves, and tree limbs all over the place. We also had 2 tree branches (at least 8 feet long) fall out of trees right alongside us. Sorry but no deal on here is worth ever playing this course again. As someone previously stated spend the extra money and play somewhere that wants you there.
