We were a threesome and had to wait numerous times for 2-twosomes playing ahead. In the past, we've had to wait on a fivesome playing ahead. No marshalls to address this problem.

A review of the maintenance staff should be done. The tree removal process is very haphazard. Removal of a tree is a 3 step process - cut tree down, grind and remove the stump, and place topsoil/seed in the depression. Late last fall, numerous trees were cut down with some of the stumps ground and some grinding cleaned. If the 3 step process would have been done, this spring all those spots would have grass growing and being mowed. We played in the morning last week and noticed several large mowers having to navigate around stumps or holes left where stumps were ground with no topsoil placed. What is the cost for this inefficient mowing process. Probably a lot more than the supposed savings of getting rid of fountain sodas.

One of our group was playing a shot from under one of the dead trees not yet removed and a 4" dead limb fell from the tree landing a few feet beside him. That could have been tragic.

There are numerous spots where no grass is growing. Shouldn't a Park District be able to grow grass? Up until Spring of 17, Number 9 green had a 5' round dead spot at about 11 o'clock that was there for 4 years. By the end of last year, it had almost filled-in. A 5 year process is NOT acceptable!! Why would any maintenance person be proud of painting a white ground-under-repair line around an area on a green!!!

We played Newman 2 weeks ago and were very disgusted about the decision to let grass grow in the rough between fairways. The beauty of Peoria PD courses is that the rough areas are mowed allowing continual play by the numerous golfers who lack the skill to always hit their shots in the fairways. This lack of mowing will increase slow play (hunting for balls) and cause more players to NOT choose to play PPD golf courses.
