Gorgeous day for golf

I was fortunate enough to have booked a round on a day that was unseasonably warm and clear skies. It was windy but it was manageable. It just gave it a bit of a links style feel.

The greens looked dry but were actually slower than I expected so it took a little bit of adjusting. Overall, the course is in great shape of this time of year. I was just happy to be playing at all this time of year, much less on a course that's actually in good condition.

My only criticism was that some of the more sloped fairways on the back 9 were very wet and had ruts/tire tracks from when people were trying to stop. I'm not sure what you do here but it may be a situation where they have to rope those parts of the course off.

All in all, a tremendous value for what I paid on this particularly gorgeous day.

Very poor customer service for the price point

Simply put, the customer service at Falconhead does not match what you would expect at this price point. Not even close. If you can get on for less than $50 then I would say go ahead and give it a shot because there are some interesting holes. Anything over $50 just isn't worth it in my opinion. Our group paid $90 and we were treated poorly pretty much from the time that we stepped onto the property. The starter chewed us out on the first tee before we had even started the round and was completely unprofessional. Honestly, it was one of those "wait, is this guy actually being serious?" types of moments. Just unacceptable. I was never once given the impression that their employees understood and/or appreciated that their guests are who drive their business. After several incidents in as many rounds, I'm done with this course until there is a change in management.
