The pros:
The greens and Fairways were in good shape considering the amount of rain we've experienced recently,
however, the majority of tee boxes were in terrible shape, in desperate need of repair, (those tee boxes were replaced a little over a year ago.)

The cons:
"Belligerent attitudes"
Very ugly negative unprofessional attitudes exude from the Pro Shop,
to the starter,
all the way down to the cart attendants.
the only pleasant personal interaction we experienced was with the beverage girl,
Our 3-some was behind a Group of SEVEN teenage golfers,
After calling and alerting the Pro Shop,
The Ranger did not make an appearance to investigate.

[customer service experience at this club is atrocious and should be addressed immediately by management]

Side note;
To anyone preparing to play CCBCC, prepare yourself to deal with belligerent attitudes before your arrival.

Well I've been out of town for a month and came back to this wonderful experience,
From the beginning,
the guys in the Pro Shop, the pro as well as the attendant were very professional and so cordial,
it was a pleasant welcome to the start of a great round,
the buffet in the restaurant was off the charts,
the nice people working in the kitchen and restaurant area were extremely accommodating,
as I made my way out onto the golf course,
everything was green and Lush,
considering we've had very hot high-90s temps for quite some time with little precipitation,
The conditions were quite impressive to say the least,
the Tee boxes were beautiful,
the fairways were fantastic, and the greens superlative,
I completed my round in 3 hours,
Honestly these type of conditions will ruin a golfer,
As you can play other courses and not play on these type of superb conditions,
some golf courses don't take things to that level, unfortunately,

credit is due to the greensman as well as the members to keep their Club in this type of supreme shape,
it requires effort on both parties to maintain these type of surroundings
I look forward to my next round at this beautiful George Cobb design,
thank you Greenwood Country Club for an ultimate golfing experience,
my only regret is five-stars is the highest rating allowed.

thank you

A less-than-desirable experience,
years ago I was a member at this club and it was kept in Immaculate condition,
since that time the greensman has changed and the golf course has never been in such poor shape,
the fairways were scalped and brown the greens were spongy and Shaggy the members we're rude and wouldn't let me play through,
the chef in the restaurant and Steve in the pro shop have a terrible attitude,
Steve couldn't even make a simple club repair,
when I expressed my disappointment,
I received a reply of "the owner is a millionaire, he could close this place and do what he wants with it"
as if that is an excuse for bad conditions and poor attitudes,
The final straw was learning my car had been keyed in the parking lot at this facility,
no wonder the Symetra Tour event is not returning to this location,
the only two positives about my experience was JJ and Patrick in the Pro Shop,
They are nice guys.
I detest leaving in negative review but have no choice under this circumstance.

My guest and I arrived at the clubhouse on time,
an elderly gentleman in the pro shop greeted us,

as we were checking in,
he made several remarks,
stating "the club doesn't make one thin dime on GolfNow bookings,"
he actually had the nerve and gall to ask, "why wasn't I playing at the club where I'm a member?"
( my club is closed every Monday for routine maintenance)

I was embarrassed by his remarks
as my guest was visiting from out of state and is a well known NCAA Scout,
this was not the way I wanted our experience to begin,
Feeling very uncomfortable,
I changed the subject by asking about the conditions of the course?
he proudly declared...
"they are the best in the county!"
we thanked him and headed to the First Tee,

we soon realized the greens were in terrible shape,
at the turn I inquired...
he replied they were suffering from a bad spring,

Note to Greenskeepe;r
if the greens haven't recovered by July 30,
they're not going to recover this season,
As a result of them being in such bad shape,
they were Shaggy...
Note to Greenskeeper;
Shaggy and bumpy is never a good combination for greens,

the fairways were nice,

the rough was up so high we lost several balls just off the Fairway,
when in the rough,
you could not see the top of the ball,
Spent too much time searching for balls just off the Fairway,
however in searching for our balls we found previous players lost balls,
sometimes stepped on balls without seeing them,

note to greenskeepers;
;the rough doesn't need to be so high you can't see the top of the ball,
(unless you're actually preparing the course for the US Open,)
it's penal as it is hitting out of the rough
even when you CAN see the top of the ball.
Much less the pace of play issue,
But I digress,

As if that weren't enough,

the cart paths are in terrible shape,
several were being repaired,
which is long overdue,
( I've been on on off-road courses that were smoother,)
The bunkers had such a thin layer of sand, the club immediately sliced through the sand to hard red clay,
there was no "splashing out" bunker shot,

the restaurant- bar had very good cheeseburgers and the Bloody Mary's were excellent,
the waitress was very nice.,

Thank you,
