Slow play due to tournament

Mgmt should not schedule t times right behind a college or high school tournament as the pace of play due to tournament is extremely slow as it was yesterday.
Had I known there was a tournament right in front of my time, I would not have made it here but as it turned out, was not told until after check in and not by starters at desk but by the players from the 2 Jr. colleges competing. Made for an excruciatingly slow round that took over 5 hours for my twosome.

Cart availability issues again

Once again the cart availability has affected ability to even tee off on time today as they overbooked a tournament, not accounting for slow player they still offered Hot Deals with a cart and could not fulfill. Additionally, person at desk and manager in office could not offer any alternative such as refund for carts they did not have so we ended up with 1 cart and others in our group were forced to walk. Ongoing poor management of resources for golfers that paid in advance with Hot Deal.
Course conditions are fine, issues are not that.

tee boxes in need of seeding, repair

Tee boxes on #4 (blue), #5 (blue and white), #7 (blue), #8 (especially blue and white), #12 (white), #15 (blue and white) are all in need of seeding and repair. All are very worn as they do not seem to be rotated enough and volume of play is tearing tee boxes up.
Fairways, rough are fine, greens are extremely nice- very quick especially for downhill, side hill putts. Stay below hole if you want to stay sane!

Dryden Golf

Course was in fair shape, fairways and rough still filling back in after winter but greens were in very good condition, putts rolling quick. Sand still an issue, too thin at most holes, cannot get under ball well. Tee boxes on #2, #6, #9 (especially bad) #12 from blue tees need to be closed and seeded as they do not have any grass and/or is directly under trees which are dropping excessive twigs, acorns, leaves which require a lot of manicuring to find stance and spot to place tee. Also lots of downed tree branches from high winds, winter season that need to be removed that should be marked, staked until removal can take place.

Cart Shortages

getting very frustrating arriving an hour before tee time and cannot get carts until 5 minutes before your round starts. need to invest in more carts if staff cannot pair people up in a cart so that other players can arrive, check in, load carts and practice on range. Understand rules around pandemic, but since this maybe the new "norm" for some time to come, mgmt. needs to be forward thinking to accommodate their guests at course or potentially lose play to neighboring courses in the 30 mile radius that is making similar investments in equipment.

Cold and Wet

Unfortunately, it rained heavy the day before so we had to keep carts on path only though it seemed as though several holes were sufficiently dried out to take carts on to fairways/rough. This made for slow play and exhausting round due to amount of hills, some with high degree of slope to have to carry several clubs to each shot and what is normally a very enjoyable course to play, very difficult. Will not play again there after rains if that is going to be their policy in future.

Cart Shortages

2nd week in a row there were no carts available at check in for noon t time causing a 40 minute delay in tee off. City /mgmt company needs to pony up for more golf carts if they are going to continue to allow single players carts. I understand pandemic concerns but since many golfers play in regular groups with same partners weekly this should not be a problem to have players ride together as in past.

Hot Hot Hot

Super hot but breeze, riding in cart made it worth it!
Bunkers here much better than Dryden where it is like hitting off concrete.
Mushrooms starting to grow on several greens, need to get someone on the while they are still manageable.

Cinco de Mayo golf party

Second time in 2 weeks I have played since greens were punched recently. Greens were fast and smooth, fairways has great grass, well defined. Bunkers could have better quality of sand, very grainy but enough sand in them to make bunker play challenging. Wind kicks up in the afternoon but that is normal for this course. Overall good time and clubhouse (Larry) and snack bar (Julie) are fantastic, always remember your name and treat you with a personal touch.

Saturday at the Reserve

The course was in excellent shape; greens were quick, sand was great, fairways were firm and roll out on drives was very good. Layout is excellent, love playing combo tee's which make the course more challenging for intermediate to better players and keeps a good pace of play. Love it there

Tournament play day

Hate playing behind tournaments because the players in it all turn into professionals and play at snail pace. Marshall has to say something to them for slow play but it didn't feel like they did anything about it which resulted in not being able to finish round. There has got to be a way you can tell if you are going to be behind a tournament when booking round online so you can make a decision if it will be worth it.
That said, course was in terrific shape, greens were very quick. Sand was good in most cases but group in front of us did not rake behind them well or at all which we could see from behind them.

Lovin' Lockeford Springs

Course was in very good shape, greens quick but not crazy; really favors players with left to right ball flight; hole #4 is underrated at #3 most difficult hole on course, should be #1 especially for non bombers off tee! Slow play on weekends, could probably use a Marshall to keep pace of play reasonable

Tight fairways

Love the tight fairways throughout most of the course; trees guarding holes also make for tough shots into the greens especially if you are out of position after tee shot.
well worth the hour drive to the course
