No Course Marshall

I'd like to retract my comments I made as the General Manager called me and made things right.
Please email me to confirm my review has been deleted.
Thank You!

No Course Marshall

I've played the course many times this year.
Yesterday as I was waiting in the 11th fairway I was struck with a tee shot off the 16th tee box.
I fell to the ground. regained my composure and lost about 3 minutes of play.
On the 12th I had a good drive just inside the large tree on the left when we heard a bang rattle off the fenced area. I turned around and waved my clubs basically saying can't you see us. They yelled HURRY UP. We were waiting for the group in front of us to clear the green. No apologies nothing. I called the Pro shop to send someone out. they did. We got thru the 13th hole and with them right across from us (we are the 14th) they started yelling again at us. Called the Pro shop and they sent someone out again. What was discussed........I DON'T KNOW. I was never asked or nothing. That was our second call in for unfriendly players behind us. They SHOULD have been escorted off the course....NO, they played behind us the rest of the way. There would have been a brawl if they had intentionally over clubbed and drove their balls into the 17th tee.
We are very disappointed in how the altercation was handled, not professional at all. Hoppy knows me, I'm Hopper and we may never golf there again. The couple we were paired up with mentioned one of the two men behind us were possibly good friends of Chris in the Pro Shop. That makes it even more unprofessional.
You NEED a Marshall.

Indian Palms Golf Course

This is a real ________. They must be very proud to have sand greens. They don't tell you that before they take your money.
The starter.........WOW.......looks like he's the only person that knows golf.
Like I said........this is a real ______ and they should repay us for wasting our time.

Worst course in 2023

The marmots have taken over. Fairways very poor. Tee boxes were horrible.
This by far has been the worst course I've played in 2023.

Really went downhill

Poor directions to the restaurant only to find out there's NO restaurant.
No directions for the Practice range. Paid the $5 for practice balls but never found out where to get the balls. Balls not at the practice range any longer.

Keep the $5 and buy some grass seed.

Arrogant Marshall

On the short par 5th, my grandson was waiting for the green to clear. Marshall drove up to us and "yelled......what are you doing"? I replied "being respectful".
I asked his name and he said Stan. I said, ok Aussie, hit the ball and if you hit them we'll say Stan said to hit the ball.
He drove the ball about 3' short of the green and it rolled back 6'. The couple with us said "Stan had a little fear in his eyes when he watched the long drive.

ALL other staff were great. Send Stan to PR school or fire him.

Rated worse course in 2017

I play a lot of courses across North America, hence my title. What a cow pasture. A complete waste of a Christmas gift. Cart # 34 could barely get around the course.

Every time I play The Dunes I enjoy it immensely. Just was a bit chilly and windy today. Not bad considering it was Oct 24th.

The course was excellent. Over seeded from side to side. Greens excellent. A fantastic day on a great layout. Will play Mountain Vista more this year. Both courses.
