Negative changes with new management

Course is under new management that has little concern for members. They are making many changes to the course...narrowing fairways, letting the rough grow higher, over watering fairways (their contract with the water district requires that they pump a minimum of grey water each day), etc. The rough is so deep that it is difficult to find your ball even if only one yard off the fairway, greatly slowing play. Even when it hasn't been raining, they overwater several fairways and many areas are soggy. Prior management watered in waste areas rather than the fairways. Because of the wet/soft fairways, your drives no longer run out...it is as if you are hitting a wedge with every shot as your drive frequently stops only 5 feet beyond it's landing spot. If you are not a low single digit handicap player, the course is no longer fun. Most golfers will struggle on this course the way it is now formatted. Monthly membership dues were more than doubled, some increased as much as 250%. Membership is no longer a good value.
