Awful.

Wish I could give negative stars.

The back nine was closed we had to play the font nine twice. The greens were aerated and loaded with sand to the point that it wasn't even worth trying to putt. The T-Boxes were a wreck, impossible to even find a flat spot. The sand bunkers look like they haven't been touched in months, overgrown with weeds and complete hardpan. Even the cart had a chunk of cushion missing from the seat.
TO ADD INSULT TO INJURY I WAS CHARGED FULL GREEN FEES. When I asked for a discount I was told it wasn't possible that's what everyone pays.
Even if your service can not at the very least let people know greens are being aerated before they make a decision to book, I do not see the purpose in using it any longer. I will call the course directly and at least make an informed decision.
If I could make a recommendation to you I would say to stay away from any course that is run by American Golf in NY. You guys need to do a better job of making people aware of course conditions.

I would really like a response.

Nice course well maintained and friendly staff.
If I could give negative stars for pace of play I would.
Two things:
1) There is no way these guys are not selling T-Times in between what's on golf now. The only reason I booked the course was because there were multiple times being shown around the time I booked only to show up at the course and have 4 groups on the first T waiting before me. I booked a 12 and got off at 12:45 ridiculous. I should have been on the 3rd hole by then
2) There are no rangers pushing pace of play. People are literally taking 30 minutes to play 1 hole. Not right. I'm a 20 HDCP and can play a round in 3.5 hours. You cant let people hit a ball 20 feet 3-4 times in a row. Someone has to watch pace of play.
They are undermining your website because I cant trust the t-times shown.
I realize this is public golf but there is no effort to push pace of play, just book as many times as possible.

Its beyond me how a you can charge $74.00 for a course that is obviously not being maintained.
The T'boxes, and fairways were barren. Spotty grass areas and hard pan dirt in the fairways. The worst were the sand traps. Over grown with weeds, no sand and all hard pan. What does it take to put clean sand in sand traps so you can actually play out of them.
The only thing that would keep me from recommending 0 stars on conditions was the greens. They actually were in good shape.
