Definitely not the 4/5 star course or experience we expected

Course was a big disappointment from start to finish. Upon arriving there is no one to greet you at the bag drop. Then when checking in, we were behind four people and it took like 15 minutes to check them in. Once we got to the counter, there was no greeting from the woman behind the counter. Nor did she advise us that range balls were not included or that the machine that dispenses the balls only takes single dollar bills! $3 gets you 24 balls. There is only 1 machine, so you need to stand in line for that too as others stick bills in one at a time. Course conditions weren't that great. It seemed rather dried out and there were bare and brown patches in the rough and fairways. Course showed a lot of play. It wasn't particularly difficult, but the greens are a little tricked up. Many were crowned and/or elevated and had steep drop offs into the rough or sand bunkers. Bunkers were inconsistent. Some had sand and some had hardly any. Some were extremely wet underneath dry sand. Even at the end of the round, there was no one and no signage to indicate where to return the carts. Rack rate on the weekends is $94 with cart. It's definitely not worth that! It's a shame because the course definitely has potential. It needs friendlier staff and some serious TLC. The best thing I can say is that we played in less than 4 hours!
