Usually when I decide to play a new course I check the reviews, especially when I use Golf Now. I failed to do so when I booked my tee time for Hunter's Creek. What a mistake. The recent reviewers clearly portrayed the course as "wasteland". I don't think I played a course in this poor condition for years. You might expect some backwoods muni that is headed for extinction to be in this condition, but not an upscale housing development course. The people who live in those nice houses must be pulling their hair out. I know the golf course business is in a funk, and golf courses are money pits for investors. But how did this place get in that poor of a condition. It will take millions to redo this track. The greens are atrocious, the fairways harder than the cart paths and the sand traps like concrete. To think I drove over an hour to play there is amazing. Lesson learned, always check the reviews before you book a new course. I will.
