what a shame

I did not eat here, but I'd like to start by saying this is one of the most beautifully laid out public courses I have ever see. A challenging course, especially the back 9, where elevation changes and risk/reward are in play almost every hole. The fairways are well maintained, the rough is in perfect condition, the tee boxes could pass for a high end private club. The clubhouse looks like this place should be a private course, and the view on 18 should be on a post card. Every aspect about this golf course is a 10 out of 10 in my opinion, except one HUGE problem. The greens on this course are 100% abysmal, atrocious, unacceptable, and a major disappointment. First, the greens are so chewed up and dead, the holes are purposely positioned away from the bad areas, which are 80% of the whole green in most cases. When your putter strikes the ball, it will look like your ball has been dropped down a plinko board from the price is right. And trust me, this is NOT due to the irritation of the greens. The breaks on the greens are bizarre, like there are small sunk in depressions everywhere and cannot be predicted. I have seen faster greens at a par 3 pitch n'putt, and seen truer lines rolling a ball down a rocky cliff.(ok the cliff comment is a stretch, but i'm so disappointed right now) You're better off bringing a sledge hammer than a putter, my whole putting game is probably ruined after putting these greens. I cannot believe that last year people said these greens were great. How could they completely lose the greens in one season?? I've never said this before, but they are almost unplayable. I feel this course right now is the biggest let down I have ever witnessed, on the sole fact of how awesome the rest of the facility is. How can EVERY other aspect of the course be pristine, and the greens a complete disaster?? Its almost sad. I honestly do not think they can even save them at this point. I never write reviews, but I felt everyone should be aware of what they are paying moderately high prices for. I can only hope a miracle happens by September, because I would consider this course one of the best in the region.
