Brownstones

Beautiful...played two balls and never rushed at all. Greens look great. Couldn't miss a putt out there. Fairways too. No problems at all. Fun course from the tips...longish but fair.

This course is a microcosm for all that is wrong in golf. I have been playing golf since I was a child and I have never walked off a golf course shaking my head more than today. Not because of my play, which was neither good nor bad...score aside...which didn't even matter out there because the conditions and fairness of the course was so absurdly poor...no...I shook my head because of a beautiful golf course ruined, a once beautiful layout turned to absolute garbage. Etiquette. Lacking. I will list A FEW major complaints:
- spotty greens
- fairway then immediately jungle rough
- a huge divot a foot from the cup on 1
-over hanging wire on 4 from tips clearly obstructing shot
-traps were not sand traps on a golf course but actual death traps with quick sand SOMEBODY PLEASE USE A RAKE
- HUGE SINKHOLES IN LANDING AREAS IN THE FAIRWAYS
-Oh...and you finally get to the signature hole, little par 3 out there on the back and you walk all the way up those steps, chugging along, thinking how Gary Player would love the exercise, but you don;t really care for it at the time?...and say wow this better be good up here and you get there and wow what a nice little h... ASTROTURF tee box...

Last but not least, I was on the 15th tee. It was around 6 30pm. playing by myself. plenty of light. still have another 30 mins or more to play 4 short holes...no one out there. worker guy and his gal roll up in their cart...and not exactly politely or apologetically tell me to pack it in. they need the cart back. granted the lady at the beginning said something about it, but at 6 50 she had said...at sunset...about 20 more minutes away...I couldn't believe it. never it my life has anyone told me to pack it in, sorry, you can't finish your day, especially when there is abundant light. he left on his cart. and i played it in anyway...in about 15 minutes. when i finished, he FOLLOWED ME TO MY CAR IN HIS CART. And I could only tell him in a not so golfing voice...I will never be coming back here sir. You will be home from work in 10 mins, I told him... don;t worry, your precious golf cart has returned unscathed...and look still plenty of light in which to lock it up in?!

Never again.
