We played a twilight round @ the New Course at Grand Cypress for our first round of our Orlando vacation. The bag drop and valet were on point as well as the pro shop. The range was good as well as the short game and bunker area. It is a nice place to arrive a bit early to warm up.
The starter was great, apparently they were split teeing earlier in the day and we were scheduled to go off 10 but he checked the course and found it was OK to let us go off 1 which is what we would prefer. The cart "girl" was great we saw her multiple times and she was friendly and did not interrupt us.
The course was in good shape and the round went off without a hitch.

Broad Run is going downhill fast. First it was policy changes and now staff and course conditions are starting to become an issue. Today we had a 5 hour round on an early Sunday morning with no rangers in sight and when we inquired after the round we were told that pace of play was to be expected. As for the course itself there are still numerous greens that have not fully recovered from aeration, rarely is there sand in a bunker, the 18th fairway is pathetic, no one is out there filling in divots(our cart had 2 empty sand bottles), unrepaired ball marks on the greens. For the amount of $$ they want to charge the course is just not worth it in it's current condition. I'm not sure what has happened in the past few months at Broad Run but it isn't looking good. With all the other options in PA there are far better options to spend your money where you will be treated like a customer and have a decent course to play.
One positive is the Bordley House Grill staff and food were fantastic as usual, the golf staff could learn a few things from them.
