I've played here for many years, but today was the WORST I've ever encountered.

First, if you want the golfers to dress appropriately according to etiquette, then the staff should do the same. While very polite, the lady in the clubhouse was dressed like she's headed to the beach with a cutoff shirt exposing her middle area. If I was to show up to play like that, I would be stopped.

The tee boxes are as hard as a rock. On the par 3s, I couldn't push the tee far enough into the tee box to do any good. So I just hit off of the thin grass. On the par 4s and 5s, I put the tee inside of a Crack on many holes. If not, I broke the tee on every hole that I didn't find a crack to put it into.

The fairways...... well, they aren't true fairways. On most holes, hitting the tee shot in the middle of the fairway wasn't an advantage. I hit the ball better out of the rough. Plus, the fairways are so bumpy now that my bag fell off of the cart going down the middle of the 8th fairway. They used to be smooth and I actually had trouble finding a ball in the middle of the fairway that fell into one of these potholes.

I thought they got new carts a couple of years ago, but mine squeaked & rattled so much, I though I was driving a 1970s car from a junkyard..

Overall, it was not a good experience and something that I wasn't expecting. The course has been going downhill for a few years, but it's always been decent. Today wasn't that...

I used to always want to play here because of the views, challenges, and great condition of the course. We used to play our state girls coaches association tournament here every other year, but it's been several years since we've been here (convention is in DFW every year now). I was in town for a family reunion and went to play before heading back home and was so disappointed in the overall condition of the course.

Most of the tee boxes were in bad shape and a couple were so wet and muddy that I had to hit from a different one. The greens were average condition at best, but they were the slowest that I've played on in many years. Lots of bare spots in the fairways... I hit one down the middle on an awesome drive and it hit a bare spot with a lip in the middle and my ball bounced and went sideways. Still got a par, but it was interesting.

I feel bad because the folks in the clubhouse were very nice.
