E. Gaynor Brennan Golf Course
Played On 06/07/2020Massive improvement
For many years the Brennan Commission (Board with responsibility for decisions) was repeatedly & continually criticized for its lack of responsiveness to concerns & criticisms of golfers: inadequate course maintenance, a rude & abusive greenskeeper, & poor morale of the staff. Excuses always included no money in the budget or the union. The course was becoming a joke & I would not recommend. At long last, the greenskeeper was replaced last summer...and the changes are undeniable: course conditions are excellent (for the first time ever, I consider it in better condition than Sterling). Hidalgo interacts well with golfers & is liked by everyone...including staff which many believe has resulted in an improved overall culture. My only remaining question is, why did it take so long for the Commission to take responsibility and do their job? After all, if they don’t recognize their flaws, history will repeat itself. Once the market realizes the talent & capabilities of Hidalgo, other courses will likely try to hire him away...unless the Commission understands what it takes to retain someone such as Hidalgo?
