Needs Work

Upon arriving, we were greeted by the extremely friendly staff at the valet parking area and clubhouse. We proceed outside to get a cart and we’re told that we have to wait for a cart because “we told them inside not to take any more GolfNow reservations”. I booked the tee time 2 days in advance so it was not short notice and the general unfriendliness of the gentleman getting carts to players was the best first impression. The course itself is a great layout, pretty straight forward and the pace of play for my friend and I was at about 3.5 hours. We were told in the clubhouse that the greens were aerated and we are pretty understanding that they won’t be in the best shape after being aerated. What we saw on the course was downright laughable at how bad the greens were. To add to that, most of the tee boxes were chewed up and very long if there was grass. I’m normally not one to complain but this course needs A LOT of work.

Bad First Impression

First time playing this place after driving 45 minutes to get there, I pulled up to the course about 30 minutes before my tee time. It’s not the Taj Mahal which is fine by me, I can deal with that. What I can’t deal with is the starter giving me a hard time because I booked my tee time on the app as a single. The response I got was, “we don’t accept singles, you need to join up with the group in front of you”. Immediately it put a bad taste in my mouth since I felt rushed and forced to go catch up to the group that was halfway down the fairway. It would have been nice to get some time to chip and putt before hand, but being that it was 8:30 in the morning on a Sunday and I really didn’t feel like arguing so I made my way to the 1st tee. I turn around after a few practice swings and see the starter staring at me with his hands on his hips shaking his head until I hit my first shot. This experience alone will ensure that I never come back to play no matter how great the rate is.
