Let me start with the course itself. The weather was perfect and the course was in very good shape. The greens were very nice (we were the first group out). The course is kind of a novelty so you have to keep that in mind when playing, but if you look at the quality of how it is kept it was very good from tee to green.
Most of the staff were very nice and accommodating. The problem was with the starter. From the start he was very condecending and rude. He told us to play slow so we didn't stack up at the turn and then had someone come out and tell us we needed to pick up the pace. When we hit the turn we went into the clubhouse to use the rest room and grab a bite to eat and when we came out he yelled at us to hurry up and said there were bathrooms on the course and a cart girl for food. Then we were stacked up after the turn so I don't know what the hurry was for. Then the worst came on the 18th green. We were all on the green waiting to putt. My buddy was standing over his putt and the starter walked up on the green, in the middle of our group and grabbed the pin and walked to the fringe. We all just stopped and looked at him and he just stood there. When we asked what he was doing he threw the flag down and stormed off the green. I have never seen anything like it.

Lets start at the beginning. I have played this course a couple years ago and had recently thought about playing it again. When I looked it up I noticed a significant price increase so i expected that a lot of improvements had been made. The weekend rate for this course is $90 so I booked it on golfnow to get a little discount ( $39 - which was still more expensive than most courses regular rates ). I arrived at the course and there was no golf cart. I walked in and paid and asked about a cart and the attendant had to call to get me a cart. Then my playing partner got held up at work and was a few minutes late (believe me I hate when the tee times are backed up too). Our tee time was for the afternoon so it wasn't that busy. I went in and told the starter and asked if we could flip tee times with another group that was there early and he said that would be no problem and not to worry about it. When we went ot the first at the next scheduled tee time that we switched to and had to wait for groups in front of us. Again we saw the started and thanked him and he said that it was no problem cause there were a few back ups on the course anyway. Once we stated playing I was very disappointed. We played to back tees. The tee boxes were terrible. There was not a level lie on any of them. The fairwas seemed lush by the rough was weeds and flowers. The greens were bumpy and inconsistent. I know this might seem picky, but I felt for the price they were charging I expected a lot more. Finally when we went into the clubhouse there were two younger staff behind the counter. While we were standing there I overheard them talking and they were referring to us. I overheard them saying that they couldn't believe we were late and that they would've never let us out and we would've been sent away if they were there when we came in. One of the two said he was going to follow us out and tell us about it but never did. It a nutshell this course is priced higher than most local courses but the quality is not there to support it. Some of the workers there were very welcoming but others need a few lessons in customer service.
