Good conditions but traps need work

Course had good conditions, including tee box, fairways, and greens. Kudos to the grounds crew. My only complaint is the traps are in terrible shape. Most of them are filled with water and the ones that aren't, are not maintained. Not sure if it is a drainage problem. Course is a little tight with small greens, but good layout. It's not too long, except for the par 3s. Played from the back tees and three of the 3s were over 200 yards.

Used cart

Pro and golf staff staff could care less about guests

Golf shop and even Golf Pro staff treat customers rudely. Not sure if it was because I had golfnow, but the staff gave me a terrible reception and treated me extremely poorly my entire time there. Maybe their focus is on corporate events, but their individual service was the worst I've experienced at any golf course. Very conceited staff who could care less about you. There were four staff there gossiping at the counter when i first walked in and they seemed annoyed that I interrupted their conversation. Not once did I feel welcome by them. I got there an hour before my 1:40 tee time at the Babe course and wanted to check and go to the range. They wouldn't give me a cart to take my gear there, and said it was a 2 minute walk, which is closer to a 10 minute walk. The guy also said I was too early and to check back in around 1:30 to play golf. I checked back in at 1:28 and the guy said I was still too early and to come back closer to my tee time. I waited around the pro shop till 1:40 and they finally gave me a key for a golf cart. The range lady was nice and so was the marshall. My entire review of the staff is about the rude Asst Pro and golf shop staff......well dressed in nice shirts, but not personable at all. You would expect nicer staff at a resort style club, but they were some of the worst staff at any course I have played.

The Babe golf course is tight. A couple blind doglegs and trees in the middle of the fairway to block shots. Got to hit them straight. Greens and bunkers in decent shape. It was cart path only which made all the golfers play slow.
