Fairmont St. Andrews - The Torrance Course
Played On 06/30/2021Avoid
Blatant profiteering and no marshalls to be seen.
They allow high handicap (or no handicap) players to play from the back tees.
The rough has been allowed to grow waist high and lush.
Said high-handicap players proceed to hit 100yds into heavy rough, before spending 3+ mins searching. This is then repeated every 100yds on each hole and for each player.
They are not hosting the open and the rough needs to be controlled and made appropriate to the skill level of their average customer.
They need to stop people playing from the back tees when they are obviously not up to it.
They need to stop allowing singles to play during busy times.
They need to actively Marshall the course...
Disney's Magnolia Golf Course
Played On 12/31/2019Course could be good but pace of play shocking
This is an ex pga tour course with heaps of of potential but it is ruined by disney capitalism:
1. The tee times are too close together.
2. There is no minimum standard for what is a difficult course.
3. An 'acceptable' time for a 3 ball is 4.5 hours.
4. People are allowed to share clubs.
5. People are allowed to hit multiple balls despite holding others up.
6. Course condition is mediocre as a result of these points.
Our experience of this course epitomises the problems with golf:
Myself and 2 competent golfers would normally expect to complete 18 holes on a decent course in 3-3.5 hours but it is impossible because of the above noted points, in particular point 2. This is supposed to be a championship course and you should need to demonstrate an acceptable handicap in order to play.

Played On 12/24/2019Be ethical, close the course when it isnt suitable
Played just before xmas. Heavy rain the day before turned the course into a swamp. The ethical thing to do would have been to close the course and not take money from people. Unfortunately the decision taken was to keep the course open, take a full green fee and not allow buggies off the cart path. This meant play was tortuosly slow and took place in a swamp...
