WOW!

I left the course feeling like somehow my round was taken from me. It looks nice from the clubhouse, and even the clubhouse was a pretty normal scene. I was a tad concerned about how empty the lot was however. But wrote that off to the hard to find location. Prices were pretty average for this area, and the staff seemed nice enough. They had a snack bar, range, practice greens (no practice bunker). Overall not bad, even if a tad smaller than most. Out on the course was a whole other issue. It had playability in the layout, but the conditions.....YIKES! The greens were hands down the worst. I would say 20% of almost every green looked to be molding, and was missing grass. This didn't seem to deter them from placing flags next to the bad areas either. Bunkers were full of cat litter type, hard sand. Mold in the fairways near the greens as well. Speaking of fairways, they were really narrow. Decent room in between the longer rough, but hard to really tell a difference between the normal rough and the fairways. They obviously had not cut in several days. Greens were also slower than I would say is normal. Tee boxes were really long. They tried to add some appeal to the fairways with this curvy layout, but it still struck me as odd that they were all super narrow, and all just straight lines. Never did spot any maint. crew through the round which wasn't a bad thing, but started to make sense. Spotted the Maint shed on like hole 6 I think, and looked pretty closed up and a fairly early time in the day. I'd say they either have a missing greens keeper and are in need of hiring one, meenwhile having only somewhat knowledgeable crew members, perhaps even small crew. Or they have a greens keeper that is older, maybe too old, or super Lazy and checked out for some other job or something. It felt like municipal course in like a small town far away form everything. I can say this for sure, with the course in that bad of shape, it was not worth the 40$ spent. Would not recommend until they have someone in there that actually knows to to manage a golf course, and can get their Conditions out on the actual course figured out. Who knows maybe they already have a Maint person, and was left with all the mess from their last one. IDK, but like I said, Wow that was hard to see a course in that bad of shape.

You hit the nail on the head! Could be a nice place, but ground maintenance is the worst I have seen! I have asked around and your assumption about the maintenance shed being closed early is correct. The greens keeper and the crew is usually gone by 2:00PM and they start at about 6:00AM. Weekends are worse, there are only one or two maintenance people around and the greens keeper is rarely there. Maybe he needs to get a job in a bank. I wonder what he writes in his W2 form for profession... Is sure is not Greens Keeper!!!

Yeah... the Greens Keeper has been there for over 12 years and he still can't get it right.
