Lost balls just off fairway

I have played here a few times this year and for the most part it has been good value for the money. However, this time was a different case. We lost (or were looking for quite some time) for balls just off the fairway and around the greens. The rough was extremely deep (think US Open) to the point that if you missed the fairway by a yard it was a task to find your ball, let alone hit it. It didn't appear that the mowers had been out for a few weeks. It was incredibly frustrating losing balls that should have been playable under normal conditions. It got to the point that we stopped taking penalty shots for lost balls (in the rough) on the back side. Also, there were 2 or 3 greens that were a little burnt out. Other than that the greens were in good shape and fairways were very playable. If they get out and cut the rough, I wouldn't mind playing again. However, under the current conditions, it was not as enjoyable an experience as it had been earlier this year.

Greens in below average condition

Tee boxes were bare in spots. Fairways were in pretty good shape overall as was the rough. Greens were slow and bumpy with lots of unrepaired divots. The slowness can be attributed to the heavy downpour we had gotten the night before so they were unable to get out to cut or roll. IMHO, there are better values out there in the area and this course is a bit pricey for the value you're getting. Overall, not a bad experience.
