Good news, Bad news

Have to give them props for the rebuild. This course now has some of the best greens in the area, and the removal of trees and several bunkers has made it an even better layout. But sadly, the attitude of the staff is horrible, absolutely ruining the experience.

Played it twice in two weeks. First time after rain, so was cart path only, and a 15 minute delay in starting. Much to our surprise at the turn, we were greeted with the ominous warning that "they were very cognizant of the time, and take slow play very seriously" and that we were ten minutes behind our scheduled pace. Made for some interesting conversation the rest of our round as we pondered the word "cognizant".

The second round was on one of the hottest days of the year. Without warning, after the first nine, and no drink cart, It turns out they had just several days before removed all the water jugs on the course, as we were told be the same "cognizant" starter they were "very unsanitary". He explained with a straight face, that their strategy was to place ice bins right outside the two bathrooms, (as if anyone actually washes their hands before dipping into them).

So, if you play to their cognizant pace, don't mind the snottiness staff in town, bring your own cooler, and can afford to significantly overpay for the privilege. ...this is the PERFECT place for you. Is very sad actually. Is a great layout, with wonderful potential, and championship level practice facility. I hope they can get their act together ... Maybe next year I can convince my group to try it again.

Nice greens - but alas ....that's about all

From the minute we walked into the pro shop, the staffs attitude was marginal. Was actually asked "Why did you book on GolfNow instead of just calling for a tee time" ... Really?

Then when heading to the first tee, we wanted a couple of bottles of water. The response was "we don't take cash ... this is a private club"

Had played here before, and decided to give it another chance. The greens were quite nice - but that's about all. Sadly this is last time I will be playing here. With the rolling hills, and location out in horse country, it could be a nice facility.
